Qingming before and after a few days do not ask good Qingming before and after do not ask good picture text

Many people say that you can not ask good before and after the Qingming Festival, after all, the Qingming Festival and other traditional festivals still have some differences, the meaning is not the same, the following you will learn with the editorial a few days before and after the Qingming do not ask good before and after the Qingming do not ask good pictures.

Ching Ming a few days before and after do not ask good

Consulted the folklore of humanities research teacher Li Jianbin, he thought: Qingming Festival content more than, in addition to ancestor worship, as well as trekking to enjoy the spring and other activities. Do not ask "good morning", meant to grieve the sacrifice of this feeling can not be good.

"But people trekking fly, "busy while the east wind release paper kite", how can not say good. Du Mu's "Qingming" poem explains well: "Qingming Festival rain has been, the road pedestrians want to break their souls." This refers to the mood of sacrifice. "I ask where the tavern is, and the shepherd boy points to the apricot blossom village." This refers to the mood of enjoying spring. I'm going to raise my glass and drink, why not." He said.

So it is one-sided and untenable to say, "You can't ask 'good morning' during the Ching Ming period." "The wind of pear blossoms rises at the time of Ching Ming, and the wanderer goes halfway out of the city in search of spring." It is more important to be happy than sad, and it is correct to ask for "good morning" at Ching Ming.

Mr. Li's explanation is very clear. The folklore of the Qingming Festival has two main elements, one is ancestor worship and the other is trekking. For ancestor worship, we naturally need to be solemn and mournful; while for trekking, we need to let go of our moods and let go of ourselves.

Reviewing the information, but also rarely see "Qingming morning can not say hello," the record. Many folklore experts believe that the morning of Qingming do not ask good, this is the last two or three years the rise of the saying. In fact, Qingming taboo quite a lot, but there is no morning do not ask good morning taboo. Visible, Qingming morning can not ask good, and no basis.

This begins with the origin of Qingming. Some folklore books say that in ancient times, the Qingming Festival and Cold Food Festival together, is 105 days after the winter solstice festival, also known as the Festival of the ban on smoking, cold festival, for the ancient days of sweeping the tomb. Nowadays, Qingming, July 15, October 1, and the Lunar Festival a year ago are the four days of the year for sweeping. In fact, after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Cold Festival and the Qingming Festival were mixed together.

In ancient times, the Cold Food Festival was on the 105th day after the winter solstice, while the Qingming Festival was on the 106th day after the winter solstice. It can be seen that the Cold Food Festival comes before and the Qingming Festival comes after. Folk legend has it that due to the story of Jie Zi Tui, probably in the early Tang Dynasty, the custom of sweeping tombs in unison with the Cold Food Festival was formed. During the Kaiyuan years, the cold food on the tomb, it was designated as one of the five rituals, into the national legal rites.

Entering the Song Dynasty, the custom of sweeping on the Cold Food Festival drew closer to the Qingming Festival. The Qingming Festival became a day for cleaning and trekking. At this time, three days of vacation were taken before and after Qingming, which means that people had to sweep the graves of their ancestors for three days from the Cold Food Festival to Qingming. Gradually, Qingming was also mixed with the Cold Food Festival. Since most of the cemeteries are outside the city, it is natural for people to go on spring excursions after the festival, which inevitably involves trekking and picking up crocuses.

The Ming and Qing Dynasties, Qingming Festival activities, much more grand than now, a large number of participants. In Gansu Lanzhou Lingtai and other places, Qingming festival is often the whole family; in addition, not only have a cleaning, while moving, burial, burial, and other activities, but also choose to be held on this day. In some places in Gansu, Qingming grave cleaning, usually to choose a single day, because a single day is the number of Yang.

In fact, Qingming's cleaning activities, not limited to the day of Qingming, but to find a gentleman to see the feng shui, selected before the Qingming. Nowadays, the pace of life is fast, most people even choose to worship in advance.

Folklore, the Qingming Festival has a lot of preaching taboos, these rituals are mostly in the time of cleaning. This is a major national event in the eyes of the ancients. Among them are: on the graveyard, can not laugh and joke. You can't cross the graves and offerings, and you can't trample on the graves of other people's homes. Offerings must not be placed haphazardly. Tomb-sweeping should be done in the morning or at noon, which is the time of the day when the yang energy is at its peak. Those who are unable to travel to the graveyard to make offerings are to burn paper and make remote offerings in the evening. In the early years, most families, prohibited women from attending, but this is no longer the case today. Before the Qingming Festival, after cleaning, do not visit friends or relatives on that day. At the same time. After sweeping the tomb, do not buy shoes, because shoes with evil, not very auspicious.

Obviously, Qingming taboos, just pay attention to do not laugh and joke, and does not forbid the morning to ask for good luck and greetings. And Qingming cleaning, more than before the Qingming Festival, which has nothing to do with the morning of Qingming.

Not to say hello before and after Qingming Picture Copy

01 Initial version: Qingming Festival can not say "Happy Qingming"

Back in 2016, a banner in Sichuan caused controversy among netizens:

During the Qingming holiday, a banner was hung in a neighborhood in Leshan, Sichuan. Leshan, a neighborhood hung a banner that read, "Wish all owners a happy holiday!"

Some neighborhood owners didn't feel comfortable with the banner, and then someone posted a photo of it online, sparking a heated debate.

Some people feel that "bad luck", some people think that this is the "tomb, send condolences" holiday, wishing "happy" is not serious, but also some people do not mind, but with the crowd will not say anything. But with the tide will not say "happy Qingming".

The "early morning before and after the Qingming Festival", there is no such thing?

02Upgraded version: no greeting "morning and evening" on Qingming Festival

In 2019, the taboo version was upgraded again, even the greeting of good morning is not allowed.

Many WeChat groups have circulated this passage: during the Qingming Festival (three days before and four days after **** seven days) do not greet each other. Also fussed to give the reason: this is the period of the yang people to greet the people in the netherworld.

"Don't greet each other before and after Ching Ming", is there such a saying?

03Expert interpretation: this is a misunderstanding of the "Qingming Festival"

The Qingming Festival was originally one of the 24 festivals, and farming. Later, it was integrated with traditional cultural festivals such as the Cold Food Festival and the Shangsi Festival, which added cultural functions.

The Cold Food Festival commemorates Jie Zi Tui, with the function of sending condolences, on the Si Festival originally trekking excursions, there is also the custom of sacrificial feasts, so the Qingming Festival as a "successor", will be the function of these all on the shoulders.

Isn't it a happy thing to go on a picnic?

Originally, the Chinese people pay tribute to their deceased relatives mainly in the July 15 Zhongyuan Festival, since modern times, the Zhongyuan Festival gradually faded, Qingming Festival's function of paying tribute to the grave is gradually strengthened, many people even think that Qingming Festival is a festival dedicated to paying tribute to the deceased, ignoring the connotation of the festival of trekking out of the village, and then gradually have these rumors.

Gao Wei, secretary-general of the Beijing Folklore Society, made it clear in an interview with a reporter that it is possible to say "Happy Qingming Festival", which has been going on for a very long time, while "Happy Qingming Festival" has emerged only in the last two years as a saying that "you can't say Happy Qingming Festival". In contrast, the saying "you can't say Happy Qingming Day" has only emerged in the past two years. The reason for the controversy is that people don't know enough about the connotation of Qingming Festival.
