Hanxiao Ancient Poetry Festival

The ancient poems of slight cold solar terms are as follows:

Mid-Tang Dynasty? Yuan Zhen's "Twenty-four Poems and Fu Qi" Slight Cold December Festival? 》

Han Xiaolu, Huan birds build new nests. Picking up food to find a winding path, holding purple around the treetops.

The frost eagle is near the north head, and the pheasant is hidden in the bushes. Strange and strict, in the first month at the turn of spring and summer.

In Yuan Zhen's twenty-four solar terms poems in Tang Dynasty, it is simple and lively. Slight cold corresponds to the deepest and most serious melody of Dalu, indicating that it is a low season, but magpies have begun to nest, foraging by the cold river, holding litter in their arms and flying back and forth every day. This is because magpies know that winter is coming, and they are busy preparing a home for the baby born in spring. What a diligent magpie.

Therefore, Yuan Zhen said, don't blame the coldest of the slight cold solar terms. This is because spring is coming, and there is a tug-of-war between winter and spring. The snow in the north is mixed with the spring breeze in the east, and of course the climate will be changeable and cold.

Don? Pei Yizhi's Wandering Qujiang in Poor Winter

Snow flies north on the south slope, and grass roots win spring. Qujiang has never been there. One person goes around the cold pool and one person returns.

The ancients divided the slight cold into three stages: "First-class Yanbei Township, second-class magpies nesting, and third-class pheasants nesting". This is an observation of the slightly cold animals in the Zhou Dynasty. The slight cold solar term covers fifteen days. In these fifteen days, although the weather is cold, you will see geese migrating from the south to the north, magpies nesting and pheasants singing.

We know that geese are migratory birds and migrate according to the seasons. In autumn, geese fly from north to south, and in spring, geese fly back from south to north. So when did the goose first come back? Not after the arrival of spring, but during the coldest slight cold solar term in winter, that is to say, the first geese flew north in winter, during the slight cold solar term, 2939. Because they were the first to perceive the changes in spring, they set out with peace of mind and braved the snow.

The ancients also believed that the slight cold solar term, spring has actually returned, but only a few animals and plants felt it. On the south slope after the snow thawed, geese flapped their wings and flew north, and the grass roots turned green, indicating that spring was coming.

Song? Wang Jianzhong? The second slogan of "Six Flowers in Winter"? 》

There are endless herbs to spend the years, and there are several kinds of flowers. Fortunately, Zhu Zhu in vain, a day of flying snow reflected camellia.

There are camellias in Hua Xinfeng. Although camellias are hardy and open in light snow season, the coldest winter is the time when camellias are most colorful. It's freezing. Some people visit Meihuashan Road and can see camellia with green leaves and red flowers. Their branches and leaves are green, snow is embossed, but red and pink camellias are more vivid and moving.

Does camellia bloom later than plum blossom? No, it's because this plant, unlike plum blossoms, was widely planted in the courtyards of the Song Dynasty, often on the mountains or in the mansions of dignitaries, and it can only be seen in winter. Because it is not broad-spectrum, it ranks behind plum blossom. However, camellia is as beautiful as peony in spring, but solemn and cold-resistant. Snow-white black tea is also an inspiring brightness in cold winter. Look at this poem. Red is camellia, white is flying snow, and the most beautiful thing is that flying snow is reflected on camellia.
