Gas Phenomena in Tomb-Sweeping Day

Twenty-four solar terms have always been familiar songs, but few people know that each solar term has its own three-stage scene. Generally, the duration of a solar term is 15 days, and this 15 day is divided into three parts, each part is five days. A short poem summarizes what happened in the solar term, which makes people feel beautiful when reading the poem.

Clear and white is called Qingming.

Tomb-Sweeping Day has a long history, dating back to the Zhou Dynasty. It is between the vernal equinox and Grain Rain. In the classic "Questions at the Age of 100", the record of Qingming is like this: "Everything was born at this time, clean and bright. So it is called Qingming. " The three stages of Tomb-Sweeping Day's Qi are: "When you are ready, you will begin to blossom;" Second, the vole became a quail; I'll see you when I wait for the rainbow. " It means that tung blossoms first appeared in the air of Tomb-Sweeping Day, and then the happy voles disappeared in the shade. They all returned to their caves, and then rainbows could be seen in the sky after the rain.

The beauty of blooming tung flowers

Tomb-Sweeping Day is not only a festival to worship ancestors, but also a time for people to go for an outing. During the Qingming period, plants got rid of the silence in winter and began to stretch their posture. The white paulownia bloomed and was fragrant and pleasant. During the Qingming Festival, the yang is more abundant, and all kinds of flowers are competing to open. Bai Tong bloomed a little later, just in Tomb-Sweeping Day, so it was regarded as a sign of the arrival of Tomb-Sweeping Day. Tomb-Sweeping Day is walking in the wilderness. The white paulownia tree stands upright in the thin white cloud world, full of purple and white small bell flowers, and its fragrance is overflowing in the night of the Yuan Dynasty, giving people a kind of surprise and shock.

Qingming custom

"I don't know who cut the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors." The slender leaves in the garden refer to willow leaves. The growth and germination of willow is a symbol of spring. Willow swaying in the spring breeze always gives people a feeling of prosperity and vitality. Since the Han Dynasty, people have gradually formed the custom of breaking willows to bid farewell, in order to wish each other peace. Because "Liu" and "Liu" are homophonic, they also take the meaning of being reluctant and try to keep them. At the same time, relatives and friends who want to leave are like willow branches in other places, which can quickly take root and sprout and survive everywhere, and all of them are pinning their good wishes on their relatives and friends.
