Kilobyte gas

The content of Xiao Gui's Interpretation of Twenty-four Solar Terms has always been said to be "Qingming".

"Qingming" in the 24 solar terms originally refers to spring.

After the baptism of spring rain, everything in the world presents a state of "Qingming"

Later, Qingming evolved into ancestor worship and memory of the dead.

Just like the Dragon Boat Festival was born to commemorate Qu Yuan.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is also related to a famous minister.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, left his hometown to avoid disaster.

Minister meson pushed around and followed, even "cutting shares to serve the king"

Is to cut off thigh meat and feed it to Zhong Er.

Zhong Er worked hard to govern the country and eventually became a famous gentleman "Jin Wengong"

Jiezitui thinks that it is destiny for childe to be king.

This is not his own credit. He doesn't want to get rich, but lives in seclusion with his mother in Mianshan.

Jin Wengong forced him to meet, but he ordered Yamakaji to be released.

The meson could not be pushed out resolutely, and was finally killed by fire.

The story of "explaining without talking about Lu" ended in death.

Jin Wengong noticed meson's ambition, and on the day of his death, he ordered that fire and cold food be forbidden.

In order to mourn, this is the origin of the "Cold Food Festival"

Cold Food Festival, just two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day.

With the passage of time, the Cold Food Festival gradually merged into Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Qingming has become a day for China people to remember their ancestors and pay homage to their ancestors and benefactors.

On this day, the weeds beside the grave are cleared and incense is burned for worship.

Become a way for future generations to commemorate their ancestors.

The elderly in Changsha are obliged to sweep graves and take care of the cemetery of unknown anti-Japanese soldiers.

The original meaning of the word "Qing" is

"The water is very clear, and you can see the blue river bottom at a glance."

To interpret the word "Qing", we have to start with "Qing"

The upper part of "green" is the word "life" in this passage, like "the appearance of grass breaking through the ground"

The lower part of "green" is the word "Dan" in this passage, just like "something from the mine"

According to Xiao Gui's research, the original meaning of the word "green" is "refers to a kind of ore, whose color is like the color when everything grows, and then refers to cyan"

The upper part of "cyan" indicates color and the lower part indicates mineral properties.

There is the word "Dan" in "Qing", and "Qing" is a variety of subdivisions of "Dan"

We can understand that "Qing" and "Dan" both mean "ore"

Respectively refers to different kinds, different compositions and different colors of ores.

"Dan" means red cinnabar.

Cyan ore originally refers to "Zeng Qingshi and Kong Qingshi"

Now it is a kind of malachite.

They are brightly colored and do not fade easily.

"Dan" and "cyan" are important materials for dyeing cloth and painting.

Zhang Yanyuan's "Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties" has the following records.

Because they are originally minerals, they are used as important pigment components in calligraphy and painting.

So the words "Dan" and "Qing" are often used together.

"Dan" and "Qing" initially refer to minerals, and then gradually refer to colors.

The word "Dan Qing" is usually used to represent the traditional paintings in China.

Poetry in "Dan" and "Qing"

There should be nothing more impressive than this sentence.

"Dan Xin" is the pure heart, that is, the pure heart, that is, the sincere heart of righteousness.

Before paper was invented, people wrote and recorded on bamboo slips.

Blue bamboo slips need to be baked to force out the water in them, so as to prevent them from being eaten by insects and stored for a long time.

The baking process is like blue bamboo sweating.

So people use "history" to refer to bamboo slips and also to historical books.

The lifelong ambition of ancient Chinese characters is to "leave a name in history"

Why history is called "Qing history" is directly related to the process of "Han Qing" on bamboo slips.

From "Qing" to "Qing"

The ancients used "clear" to refer to "the state of clear and transparent river water"

A cognitive way containing ancient wisdom.

The river bottom is often surrounded by cyanobacteria in spring and summer.

The cleanest water in the eyes of the ancients was not colorless and transparent.

But you can see the blue river stones and aquatic plants at the bottom of the water at a glance.

On the left of "Qing" is "water"; On the right is the "cyan" of river stones and aquatic plants.

The whole word together means that the river is "transparent and clear"

Bring a thing or idea into a transparent and clear state.

It's called "cleaning, cleaning, cleaning"

In the process of textual research, Xiao Gui will find that the ancients made words.

Is based on a rigorous cognitive attitude

Record the state of everything in the world with words.

In the process of word-making, there are few inconsistencies.

For example, the original meaning of "Ming" is not what people often say.

The true original meaning of the word "Ming" is

"The moonlight shone through the window and the room was bright."

As you can see from the font, the left side looks like a window.

Under the blue sky and white light, a beam of light is not called "Ming"

On a starry night, a beam of moonlight is called "Ming"

Contrast can highlight the main body, and dark parts can make the main body bright.

After the bright night, it is a new day, also called "tomorrow"

In ancient poetry, the word "Ming" often appears with "Moon".

All these can be seen from the etymological point of view.

Find the mutual confirmation of the original meaning and cultural connotation of words

Tracing the origin of the word "Qingming" from the etymological point of view.

Now we can understand the Qingming state of the world that Qingming said.

Xiao Gui's view of Chinese characters is

Every Chinese character has a story of natural growth.

When you go looking for it with me.
