Qingming ancient poems

I always feel that China's traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day customs are classical, fresh and eternal immersed in poetry.

Silent grief and faint sadness constitute the main tone of Qingming custom. On this day of worshipping ancestors and remembering relatives, I clearly heard the Qingming poem that was repeatedly recited, full of the melody of missing.

Tang Bai Juyi (Cold Food and Wild Hope)

The crow magpie is a noisy and faint tree.

Who cries when Tomb-Sweeping Day eats cold food?

The wind blows paper money in the wilderness,

The ancient tomb is covered with green grass.

It vividly depicts the bleak scene of sweeping graves and remembering loved ones in Qingming. In the face of where you will go, heaven and man will be separated forever. How can it not make people feel sad?

Poets in the Song Dynasty are also lofty clouds (Qingming)

There are many cemeteries in the North and South Mountains.

Tomb-Sweeping Day swept away different views.

Paper ashes fly into white butterflies,

Tears were dyed red with blood azaleas.

Reading is natural and true, making people cry;

Yang Wanli walked on the road of sweeping graves in the Southern Song Dynasty and saw weeds growing with the wind overnight. The path of the past year has actually disappeared. After the Qingming Festival, the pear blossom grew longer and the poet was filled with emotion.

In the spring breeze,

Qian Xin reached his old age.

Pears eat cold food,

I'm only worried about holidays.

So a thousand words are condensed into a word "sorrow", which deeply expresses the author's yearning.

However, Tomb-Sweeping Day is not all sad and sad. In spring and March, the grass grows and the warblers fly. In this season of sightseeing, the joy and vitality of spring are everywhere.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called the "Walking Festival" because "everything is clean and bright when it grows." It is best to go out for an outing. According to textual research, the custom of Qingming outing began in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty.

In the moth cleaning fan,

Chun Yu Shu Jin Hong.

Make a mistake,

Facing the faint breeze ...

(Qingming) In the late Tang poetry, the humanities described the early morning of Qingming in a relaxed and humorous way, with moths (butterflies) flying and peach blossoms and golden flowers competing to open. On this picturesque day, people go hiking together, and when they set off, they see dew quivering on petals of various colors. When they came back, the breeze passed through the willows, and everyone walked in the embrace of spring. How cozy and comfortable it is. In the Song Dynasty, the custom of Qingming outing became more and more popular.

When the spring in the south has passed halfway,

The wind and smell in Ma Si.

Green plums are like beans and willows and eyebrows.

Long butterflies are flying.

Ouyang Xiu's Ruan Langgui Go for an outing is a concrete embodiment of the custom of going for an outing in the Song Dynasty.

Fiona Fang acted rashly,

Spring enters the deep mountains and clear water.

Bustling through Liuxiang,

Trapped in running water, sitting in the desert.

Do not say goodbye to a glass of wine,

I'm afraid the wind will turn red.

The weather is clear and cloudless,

You might as well travel and never forget to come back.

Cheng Hao, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote "Walking in the Outskirts is a Thing", which also reflected the grand occasion of Tomb-Sweeping Day in the Song Dynasty.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is colorful and interesting. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, people also do some beneficial activities, such as inserting willows, flying kites and swinging.

Song Chen Yun Ping's (Cold Window)

Without candles and cigarettes,

Dongfeng inserted willow,

Thousands of families.

There is also a land tour in the Southern Song Dynasty ("Spring Day")

Grain Rain is famous for its mountain temple tea.

It's obvious that people are inserting willows.

It is the embodiment of the custom of inserting willow in Qingming;

Huangyu in Song Dynasty

Burn a fire before Qingming Festival, and tie a swing under the mulberry tree.

It tells the grand scene of swinging;

Gao ding in Qing dynasty

In February, the grass grows long and the willows are drunk with spring smoke;

The children came back from school early, so they were busy flying kites in the east wind.

Became the swan song of kite singing.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is extensive and profound.

Qing Ming written by Huang Tingjian in the Northern Song Dynasty is quite philosophical.

Every holiday season, I miss my parents, and the peaches and plums smile, and the Noda wilderness is only sad.

Thunder stung dragons and snakes, and the original vegetation in the suburbs was soft after the rain.

It's unfair for people to sacrifice my arrogant concubine and wife, but it's unfair to burn them.

A clever fool has known who it is for thousands of years, and his eyes are full of * * *.

The poet thought of the dead from the beautiful scenery of Tomb-Sweeping Day.

From death to life, and finally to the meaning of life,

It can be described as profound and thought-provoking.

In short, Tomb-Sweeping Day should bring us the indispensable spiritual comfort and cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, whether it is the long grief of missing relatives, the joy and joy of youth, or the open-mindedness and heroism of exploring life and death.
