Scary February Festival Scary Solar Term Scenery

"At the beginning of the sun be the spirit fright, shaoguang weeks. Peach blossoms bloom, and eagles are spring pigeons. " The poems written by Yuan Zhen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, in Twenty-four Poems, Qi Cuo February, depict the warm spring scenery of a hundred flowers in the period of fright. 20 18 shocking solar terms are coming today, so let the old calendar introduce you to the amazing solar terms.

Frightened February Festival

"Sting" is the third solar term in spring. The east wind comes, freezing ice melts rain, and it lasts for half a month from March 5 of the Gregorian calendar to the vernal equinox of the next solar term. In ancient times, there were successive sayings of "rain" and "shock", and some took "rain" as February Festival.

After the Han Dynasty, "Jing Feng" was established after "Rain". In the Western Han Dynasty, Jing Fang wrote "Biography of Jing Family: Returning to Sister", saying: "Frightening Festival in February"; One of Yuan Zhen's poems about the 24th Qi Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, "February Surprise Festival" says: "The sun shines on the first day, and the earth shines." This is the first solar term in February of the solar calendar. The February Festival here is based on the yellow calendar in China.

In fact, from beginning of spring to "fright" is a gradual process. Explanations on the Yi Zhou Shu Shi recorded the phenology of beginning of spring, saying, "On the day of beginning of spring, the east wind thawed, and on the fifth day, insects began to vibrate." In other words, when spring begins, insects trapped in winter feel something. Speaking of solar terms, the thorn comes out of the hole.

The most typical horrible weather is thunder. "The porch window is open on all sides, and the wind sends sea clouds; A shower of flowers and a few thunders. " (Song Chen's "Mountain Residence") "It thunders in the middle of the night and blooms at dawn." (At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhou Yuan's "Thunder in the Sun" describes the phenomenon of this solar term. The thunderous thunder shook the earth and shook the insects in the field out of their hibernating holes.

Paleophenology of the solar terms of fright.

According to the phenology of solar terms recorded in Yi Zhou Shu Shi Xun Jie, "On the day of fright, the peach begins to bloom, on the fifth day, it will bloom, and on the fifth day, the eagle will turn into a pigeon."

First, the peach blossoms were in full bloom at the beginning of the shock. Peach blossoms bloom in February. In the Song Dynasty, Cao Xun wrote a poem: "Su Causeway Road is easterly in February, and willow flowers are among trees and peach blossoms." It can be seen that the peach blossoms bloom in February. Tu Benjun's Chronology of Bottles in the Late Ming Dynasty said that Fei Tao was one of the top flowers in February. A crimson peach is a crimson peach. Cao Ming Zhang Dashi: "Wuling Creek is deep, and I want to ask for it with a smile." Describe the peach blossom in February, and the spring is good.

Second, I waited for Cang Geng's call in shock. Cang Geng, also called Cang E, is another name for oriole. In the Book of Songs in July, there is a poem that "sunshine shines in spring and Amin ploughs". "Bird Book" says: "The stork is yellow, and the yellow bird is yellow. Today is called oriole, oriole. The wild people said that Huang Li stayed. Turn your ears. "

Third, at the end of the shock, the eagle turned into a pigeon. According to the ancients, what happened when the eagle became a pigeon? "Bird Classic" explains: "Feathers change with seasons. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eagle becomes a dove. ..... On the Mid-Autumn Festival, pigeons revived the eagle. "

Solar terms and proverbs

In agricultural society, people will be "shocked" by the weather, which corresponds to bumper harvest, rain and so on. The following are some common expressions of prediction, for your reference:

"Thunder rumbles and piles of Gu Mi." "There is rain and lightning, and the wheat fields are like mounds."

These two proverbs point out that it is a good omen to wake up at just the right time, with lightning and thunder, good weather, bumper crops, bumper crops and accumulation of valleys.

"Before the thunder, it rained again and again in February. After the thunder, it is spring. "

If the thunder happened before and after the shock, it would be too late. It has been raining for several months early, and it is dry spring rain when it comes late.

"If you are scared, you won't hide from the cows." "If you are scared, you won't rake the ground, as if the steamer is flat."

The meaning of these two proverbs is to point out that farming depends on the weather, and it is too late to plow if you are scared. I don't blame Yuan Zhen's startled solar terms poem for saying, "When is the time to urge Meng?" Torque correction; When things happen in the world, the tiller has his field. " The shock is to remind people that the most important thing is to cultivate the land and supply the life food for all people in the world.

Flower Festival has an appointment with flowers and plants.

In China, there were many spring entertainment activities in February, such as hiking, flower viewing and butterfly catching, which were often called "Flower Festival", also called "Walking Festival", "Picking Vegetables Festival" or "Flower God Festival". The customs in different places are similar, all about flowers and butterflies, with the most sunsets on February 2 and February 15. The "Flower Dynasty" in mid-February and the "Moonlight Night" in mid-August are beautiful scenery in the middle and spring and autumn of the year.

The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to February Festival, which showed the spirit of the integration of heaven and earth. According to the Chronicle of Dezong in Old Tang Dynasty, Tang Dezong felt that the spring was strong and the world was at peace, and took February 1st as the "Taiping Festival" to help Changmao, and all lawsuits at home and abroad were on holiday. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhonghe Festival, Shangsi Festival and Double Ninth Festival were also called "Sanling Festival". In February of the sixth year of Zhenyuan, the emperor gave a banquet for his ministers and officials in Qujiang Pavilion.

In February, before the spring is old, enjoy the flowers and butterflies and step on the grass to pick vegetables.

"Flower Festival" is in mid-spring. At this time, after the "beginning of spring" and "rain" in Meng Chun, the sun was just enough and the world was thriving. Shuowen says, "Everything comes out in February". Flowers are very sensitive to solar terms. When spring enters February, it is already full of flowers and shadows.

Tian Rucheng's "Joy of the Xi Tide" in the Ming Dynasty has youthful notes of ladies and gentlemen at that time, which is lively and interesting, more sensitive to solar terms than modern people, and there is no lack of fashion: "On the second day of February, ladies and gentlemen wear leaves, saying that a hundred flowers bloom at first, and spring is not old."

According to Liu Hao's Guangfang Qunpu in Qing Dynasty, there are many festivals in February, such as Flower Festival, Grass Festival and Picking Vegetables Festival, which are recorded as follows:

Annals of Chengdu: February 15th is the Flower Festival, which is a butterfly catching party. Shu people also think that it is a day to treat silkworms in the market, which is called the silkworm market because of its fun.

"Extra Record in the Pot": February 2 is an outing festival in central Fujian, which is considered to be a grass festival in central Sichuan.

Xiao Mo Ji: In Luoyang, February is the flower festival, which is also a festival for picking vegetables.

Chronicle of the Qin Dynasty: On February 2nd, Jiangcai was rewarded by scholars.

Zhai Chengshi Flower: Tokyo called it Flower Festival on February 12, which is a gathering to catch butterflies.

The Chronicle of Gan Chun, the scenery of Kyoto in the Southern Song Dynasty, recorded that "February 2nd, the palace hosted a banquet to pick vegetables", and empresses, princes and the first official in Kyoto played a game of picking vegetables from flowers with gold grates, and there were rewards and punishments for hiding characters. In fact, it's a real reward and a fake punishment, with rewards, gold and silver cups, pearls, jade, and so on. It's the best in the world, and it's as noisy as a bee. This fashion has also been introduced into the palace:

"First meet Zhu Lvhua, silk for a small roll. The book is aimed at it, using HongLing. Lettuce and flowers are planted at the top. As soon as the banquet was rewarded, the temple was inferior, carrying gold grates one by one. Empresses, princes, monarchs, Jieyu, etc. are well known. There are rewards without punishment, and each one is inferior.

February Festival "A thunder in Gong Kun in the middle of the night" startled the stinging insects, just reminding the world "When is the time to sprout?" Torque repair; Things change, land to the tiller. "Everything is thriving at this time, and the most important thing is to practice in time.
