culture
潘阆 recalls the autumn bore at Hangzhou, when the whole city came out to watch. The piece ends 弄潮儿向涛头立,手把红旗旗不湿, 'the tide-riders stand on the crest of the wave, red flags in hand, and the flags stay dry'.
usage
长 here is cháng 'for a long time, always', as in 长久, not zhǎng 'to grow'. The subtitle is cited after its tune name: 《酒泉子·长忆观潮》.
