Horses neigh afar banners unfurl slow
No clamor here only solemn glow
Sturdy chariot steeds groomed and strong
Four stallions pull toward the Eastern throng
Eastward they charge where ancient kings gave birth
Putians grass is lush green as summers breath
Off we ride to hunt in ordered serene flow
King Xuans court marches ranks straight and neat
Tortoisesnake flags wave yaktails kiss the heat
Nobles in red robes golden shoes on the ground
Falcontortoise banners brush the ground
Ready for the hunt their spirits unbound
Thumbrings gleam bows bend like crescent moons
Each shot a hymn to the gentlemans tune
This hunts no slaughter brute force we disdain
Reverence over might grace in every vow
Power wears humilitys gentle chain
True power lives in humble courteous vein
Honor gods with heart not bloodstained hands
Four yellow steeds their pace never strays
Chariot gallops on arrows find their way
Left flank to right shoulder perfect mark we seek
No fledgling harmed no feather bent or weak
Kings kitchen isnt full but rules stand tall
Sacrifice guests monarcheach part has its call
Back to the capital chariots hum low
Gentlemans grace every step aloft
Conquest fades but respect etches deep
In every heart the ancient rites we keep
Gentlemans grace in every step we discover
Autumn breathes the old ways soft but clear
The chariots echo our bond held dear
