The Dragon Boat Festival is here, and the flaming pomegranate blossoms are all over the mountain village. The poet ate a jiaozi with two horns, and mugwort was inserted in the crown. I am busy storing medicine and preparing prescriptions to make myself safe and disease-free this year.

To annotate ...

Mao Yi: refers to 1 195, the first year of Qingyuan in Song Ningzong. The author is 7 1 year old and lives in seclusion in his hometown of Shaoxing. Chongwu: Because it is the fifth day of May, it is called Chongwu, which is the Dragon Boat Festival. Because the ancients bathed in bluegrass soup on this day, it was also called "Bathing Bluegrass Festival". It is also called "Daughter's Day" because girls must wear amulets instead of pomegranate flowers.

Brown buns are divided into two buns: Zongzi has two sharp corners. It was also called corn millet in ancient times. Why do you eat zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival? In Wu Jun's "Continued Harmony" in the Southern Dynasty, "Qu Yuan died in tears on May 5, and the Chu people mourned it. On this day, rice was stored in bamboo tubes as a sacrifice. " The earliest zongzi was steamed with millet. Zongzi in Song Dynasty has stuffing, with dates, beans and apricots in the middle.

The moxa stick in the tall hat. It is said that Artemisia argyi leaves are fragrant and mature, which can clear nine orifices and get rid of diseases, so they wear hats. Dangerous crown: high crown. This is a kind of hat that Qu Yuan wore when he was exiled to Jiangnan. Qu Yuan's poem "Crossing the River" said: "A long iron ground separates the crown from the cloud."

Medicine storage: The ancients regarded May as an evil day.

Make an appreciative comment

The poem begins with a topic, limiting the time to "the fifth day of May" and setting the place in "the mountain village". Here and now, there is no confusion, no tedious work, only a festive atmosphere, only simple folk customs. What's more, pomegranate has already bloomed unconsciously! This situation, what a "good" word!

The poet "Wanli seeks to seal the Hou, and guards Liangzhou with horses" finally put down his mind temporarily and merged into the festive atmosphere. Look, he ate double-angle zongzi first, and then put moxa sticks in the high crown. Then, as usual, I was busy hoarding medicine and preparing prescriptions for the sake of peace and disease-free this year. In the evening, he finished these things and drank with a smile.

From the author's detailed description of the life of the Dragon Boat Festival, we can also see that at least since the Southern Song Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival has had the dual connotations of commemorating Qu Yuan and keeping in good health.

Lu You, who is obsessed with "Julian Waghann Beiding Central Plains Day", can only, like Xin Qiji, "change his words to give priority to planting trees" because his ambition of tidying up mountains and rivers has not been realized. When I finished my work, I smiled at the cups and plates. How much sadness is hidden in joy and how much helplessness is revealed in leisure!

The language of this poem is simple, integrating scenery, narration and lyricism. The mountain village scenery with many pomegranate flowers, the customs and habits of the Dragon Boat Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, and the leisure between the lines are floating in front of you and feeling in your chest. Without decoration, poetry is beautiful; It's not artificial, so it's true. This is what the poet calls the writing realm of "natural articles and occasional skillful hands".
