Poetry and allusions of Mid-Autumn Festival

Preface to Su Shi's "Water Melody": Chen Bing Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking too much, getting drunk, writing this article, pregnant.

When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know about palaces in the sky. What year is tonight? I'm willing to ride the wind to the sky, I'm afraid I can't stand the cold for nine days in a pavilion of fine jade. Dance and enjoy the shadow of the moon, which is in the world.

The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. There should be no hate, and nothing can be done. People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away.

This masterpiece was written by Su Dongpo after drinking on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, expressing his feelings for his younger brother Su Zhe. The preface says, "I'm pregnant, too." My brother's name is Su Zhe, and he's a conformist. Rutting is the trace of a carriage wheel rolling on a dirt road, so there is a saying that "there is a car in front and a road behind". Frog is also a sign of the road. Walk along the road, so it is the only way. Therefore, my younger brother Su Zhe was named "Zhe" with the word Zi You. There was also a famous person in ancient times, Luz, who was a student of Confucius. The surname Zhong, the name You, and the word Zi are formed by concatenating Su Zhe's name and.

Brother Su Dongpo, alias "Dongpo Jushi", name "Shi", word "Zi Zhan". What is "giving"? The cross beam armrest on the carriage. "Book of Rites under Tan Gong": "Confucius crossed the side of Mount Tai, and a woman cried in front of the grave. The master listened and asked Luz to ask. " Confucius sat in a carriage, saw people crying, stood up and held the handrail, which was an ancient etiquette. The carriage is inherently high, and it is higher when standing on it, so to say "far-sighted" means "standing high and seeing far". Su Shi and Su Zhe's father is Su Xun, a learned man, and they are listed as "the eight great masters in Tang and Song Dynasties". Probably when Su Xun was named, he wished his two sons would become "car owners" in the future, so they were called Su Shi and Su Zhe. As a result, I learned a lot.

WU GANG laurel tree: According to legend, the laurel tree in front of Guanghan Palace on the moon grows luxuriantly, reaching more than 500 feet. There is a man who often cuts, but after each cut, the cut place closes immediately. For thousands of years, this laurel tree can never be cut down. It is said that this tree-chopping man named WU GANG, a native of Xihe in Han Dynasty, once went to heaven with the immortal, but when he made a mistake, the immortal banished him to the Moon Palace and did this kind of hard work in vain every day as a punishment. In Li Bai's poems, there is a record that "if you want to be in the middle of the month, you will pay for the cold." Zhu Yuanzhang and the moon cake uprising: It is said that eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the broad masses of the people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the ruling class in the Yuan Dynasty and rose up against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang joined forces with various resistance forces to prepare for the uprising. However, the officers and men of the imperial court searched very closely and it was very difficult to pass on the news. Liu Bowen, a military strategist, came up with a plan and ordered his men to hide a note with the words "Uprising on the 15th of August" in the cake, and then sent people to the uprising troops in different places to inform them to respond to the uprising on the 15th of August. On the day of the uprising, all the rebels responded together, such as a single spark can start a prairie fire. Soon, Xu Da captured the Yuan Dynasty and the uprising was successful. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and quickly sent a message saying that all the soldiers should have fun with the people in the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and they should give the "moon cakes" secretly sent at the time of the war as seasonal cakes to the ministers. Since then, the production of "moon cakes" has become more and more elaborate, and there are more and more varieties, such as dishes, which have become good gifts. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the custom of eating moon cakes spread among the people.
