What does the ancient prose Sanqiu mean?

There is a cloud in "Poetry": "The east wind is not convenient for Zhou Lang, and the bronze sparrow terrace locks Er Qiao in spring." These four-line poems depict the parting scenes of Wei Wendi Cao Pi and Jia Nanfeng. Generally speaking, we can understand it as "Sanqiu", which means early autumn, mid-autumn and late autumn in a year. Among them, "The Bronze Quetai is deep in spring" refers to spring, and "Locking Er Qiao" refers to the scene where the Bronze Quetai is locked in Zhou Yu's home during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to see that the meaning represented by "Sanqiu" refers to the feelings of parting and parting caused by the passage of time in different seasons.

"Sanqiu" is also the most special period in the traditional solar terms in China. During this period, the northern part of China began to enter the autumn harvest season, while the southern part began to have a cool climate. In terms of solar terms, "beginning of autumn" means the end of summer, and "summer" means that everyone can feel that the weather is getting cold. Then came the "White Dew" solar term, the weather became drier and drier, the autumn wind became colder and colder, and the harvest of crops was over. Finally, the "cold dew" solar term marks that autumn has already finished half. At this time, the temperature difference between north and south of China is quite obvious, just as the south is still biased towards summer, while the north has entered a cold climate.

"Sanqiu" is not only a representative of a period, but also bears many people's feelings and thoughts about the passage of time and the transience of life. We often say "Time waits for no man", even in this eternal universe, time is ruthless. Everyone may feel happy in Sanqiu season and ask themselves how to go in the future, hoping to seize every moment and cherish the life in brief and beautiful.
