Cold food festival read "cold food post

The Cold Food Festival is an important traditional cultural folklore, known as the "sister of Qingming".

Cold Food Festival has arrived, families can not move the fire to cook, only eat cold food, even in the palace to put out the stove fire.

On the day after the cold food festival, it is possible to: raise the fire in every house!

The fire was first lit from the palace, then distributed to the royal relatives, then to the ministers, and all the way down the line, and then passed from commoner to commoner to rebirth the new fire and restart the year's good fortune!

Today, the Cold Food Festival is just a traditional cultural practice.

I. The Cold Food Post. ******

The Cold Food Post, also known as the Huangzhou Cold Food Poem Post or Huangzhou Cold Food Post, is not considered Su Shi's most representative poem.

But it is the most simple and descriptive poem of Su Shi in the most despairing time of his life.

In his middle age, Su Shi was relegated to Huangzhou in Hubei province, where he lived in dire straits and had to cultivate the land and feed himself every day.

This year, after the cold food, the neighbors brought Su Dongpo a fire.

Su Dongpo realized that there was nothing to cook at home at all, and was cold, wet, hungry, and sad.

Thinking of his own encounter, and not knowing whether he could still return to Kaifeng, he felt very desperate, and thus came up with this "Cold Food Post".

Since I came to Huangzhou, I have had three cold eclipses.

Every year, I want to cherish the spring, but the spring is not to be cherished.

This year, there is bitter rain again, and two months of autumn are gloomy.

I heard the flowers of the begonias in my bed, and the snow of the swallows was stained by the mud.

In the dark, the night is powerful.

I am a young man, and my head is already white from the disease.

The spring river is coming to the house, and the rain is coming.

The hut is like a fishing boat, in the misty water and clouds.

The kitchen is empty, and the stove is broken.

I know it's the coldest day of the year, but I can see the crows on the paper.

Your door is deep, and your grave is ten thousand miles away.

I also want to cry to the poor, but I can not blow the ashes of the dead.

There is no need to explain too much about the literal meaning of the poem to realize that it conveys the bleakness and sadness of the poem, and expresses Su Shi's feelings of despair and loneliness at that time.

Spring is gone

"It is too late to be tolerated, it is too late to come".

Spring is beautiful, but it is also short, as in "time is short, not who want to stay can stay".

Such rainy weather, not a hint of spring, as if the cold winter again. Life we also have this feeling, such as this life stress, bias and catch the epidemic, was isolated at home, if then encountered days of rainy and humid weather, the mood ......

If you're sick and have a fever, the possibilities are endless. ......

Mud stained Yan Zhizhi snow,**** secretly stealing negative go

White begonia flowers withered in the rain, so the sewage was taken away, was submerged in mud petals remnants of the red mess. People surprisingly did not have any awareness, more powerless to do anything.

The power of nature is too profound and unfathomable, people in front of nature, too small and too powerless, even if found, but also afterthought.

Second, "cold food post" in the eyes of modern people, a new interpretation. ******

If we look only from the point of view of the poem, among the works of Su Shi's heirloom, "Cold Food Post" is not considered to be a superior work.

But because the Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival are connected, and Qingming Festival from a festival into a legal holiday, only let "Cold Food Post" for the current generation, a new interpretation.

The folk take the cold food after the rebirth of the new fire as a kind of transition ceremony to leave the old and welcome the new.

That is, it reveals the message of the change of seasons, but also symbolizes the beginning of a new season, a new hope, a new life, a new cycle.

Later, there is also the meaning of "thanksgiving", which emphasizes the nostalgia and gratitude for the "past".

Cold food is forbidden to eat cold food at the tomb, and new fire is taken at Qingming to go out.

In September 2020, the National Palace on the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the special exhibition of the Ancient World - Su Shi theme of the written exhibition, the pursuit of Su Zi talent, enough to see the weight of Su Shi.

Su Shi was a young man of ambition, but his life has been through ups and downs.

His self-assessment, "I can't create the book, point painting hand annoying push."

Indeed, in his later years, he came up with new ideas, not to trample on the ancients.

On his life, he mocked himself, "Ask your life's work, Huangzhou Huizhou Danzhou."

Because of the wave after wave of epidemics, the 2022 Qingming trip has become a luxury.

1000 years ago, the festival Shi or not, 1000 years after us.

All will encounter a variety of problems, will face the dilemma, sometimes we can overcome the dilemma, but sometimes our ability is limited temporarily can not overcome the dilemma, how to do?

The only thing to do is to calm your mind and wait for the flowers to bloom, so that there will be a day when the spring returns to the earth.
