长沙 / 江段Changsha / river segments湘江贯穿湖南，古典记忆里连着屈原、流放诗与端午水上的仪式。悲与节同在一条河：一边是忠而见逐的长歌，一边是划舟投粽的民间记念。
The Xiang flows through Hunan. Classical memory ties it to Qu Yuan, exile poetry, and Dragon Boat rites on water—grief and festival sharing one current: long song of loyal banishment beside boats and rice offerings.
读湘江，是读南方如何把政治创伤写成可传唱的水。端午故事与楚辞江湘并置——节日是入口，江流是更深的文脉。
Read how the south turned political wound into singable water. Dragon Boat is an entry; Chu ci rivers are the deeper current.
