Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, this is the cool autumn, the most suitable for reading, often the Mid-Autumn Festival for students' blessing is "Toad Palace Folding Gui", through the exam, get a good rank, knowledge changes fate, just like flying to the moon to climb the most rich and noble osmanthus flowers.
In the dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu heard that Baoyu was going to go to the academy to study, and laughed and said that this time, it must be to go to the Toad Palace. It can be seen that "Toad Palace Folding Gui" is an excellent metaphor for the future.
So Wangwen business, why does the Toad Palace refer to the Moon Palace? What is the relationship between the Moon Palace and the toad, that is, the toad?
Ancient poets who wrote about the moon, especially the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, often used toads, toad palaces. Toad is so ugly, why is it mentioned together with the beautiful Chang'e jade rabbit? Let's first look at a poem by Li Bai.
Mid-Autumn Festival Festival Night Atmosphere Poster
"When the jade toad is away from the sea, when the white dew is wet.
The wind on the side of the clouds is clawed, and the sand head is soaked in water.
Happy string orchestra, sad to kill the battle.
Because of the appreciation of the West Garden, a poem is sung in the wind. "Li Bai's "First Moon"
Li Bai This is the Mid-Autumn Festival of a certain year, living alone, looking at the rising moon alone in the north.
The jade toad left the sea of clouds and ascended to the sea-like sky, and there was autumn dew that wet the osmanthus flowers.
It is only because there are winds and clouds today, so the moon only shows a bend of eyebrows, like buried in the place of white sand and water, especially lonely.
Such a Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of orchestral singing and dancing and joy in the rich and noble families of the capital, who can think of the border pass and the lonely soldiers who hope for the hometown?
Because I am far away from the prosperity, I suddenly have such a broad feeling, let me pay tribute to this side of the moonlight in the wind.
Where is the origin of the allusion to the jade toad describing the full moon that rises to the sky on August 15?

In the pre-Qin era, people's reverence for nature and gods produced many myths. In the land of Shu chu, clouds and mist rise, there are dragons and snakes of all kinds of aquatic creatures, the ugliest of them, and the most fearsome ones are snakes, jiao (possibly lizards), turtles and turtles and the like. Toads are strange-looking creatures with large bellies, fast-swallowing food with their tongues, loud and loud at night, and extremely reproductive and poisonous creatures.
Fear creates fear and adoration, and the toad seems to be immortal, it looks like dirt, no one has seen their death, or the toad is dead and is reborn at some point. With the current explanation, it is that the toad itself is ugly, looks too similar, even if it is dead, its poison makes people afraid, dare not come close, and when they hear the chirping again, they only think that it is important to return the soul.
And its schedule is related to the moon.
Moreover, in order to seek more children, the ancient people worshiped creatures with strong reproductive ability as gods, and the toads gave people a shock and imagination with a huge abdomen, and in the ancient Shu region, there was a toad fertility cult.
The moon also represents reproduction and harvest, and the toad is hooked to the moon. One way of saying that the toad spirit is the moon god, and if you look at the shadow of the lumps on the moon, isn't it the skin of the toad? There is also a saying that the moon is the toad's most beloved treasure, swallowing and spitting it every day, fifteen that is, it spits out the moon, and the first day is naturally that it swallows the moon into its stomach.
The toad seems to be able to predict the weather and rain, how to predict in ancient times has been impossible to examine, but later people use the jade toad pattern in the air to divinate the weather.
Pre-Qin Qu originally first "Heavenly Question" "Luminous He De, death is fertile?" Julius Wei He, and Gu Suo in the abdomen? “
What does it mean, why the moon is missing and round, dead and alive, it is because there is a "Gu Suo" essence in the moon.
What is "Gu Suo", Qu Yuan is Gu Chu's doctor and wizard, he must understand, but we don't know. However, from Guo Moruo's examination, through some ancient sacrifices, "Gu Suo" is not a rabbit, but a transliteration of a toad. Because at that time, there were no rabbits on the utensils that were commonly sacrificed to the sun and the moon, only ugly and deified toads.
The Han Dynasty was an era of great unification that combined various deified customs of the pre-Qin era.
Then in the Han Dynasty, there were toads in the moon, which had already been fixed. There are three-legged crows in the sun and three-legged toads in the moon, and they are the gods of the sun and the moon. Han Zhang Heng's "Lingxian" Yun: "Yi please immortal medicine in the West Queen Mother, Chang'e stole it to run to the moon... Chang'e was entrusted to the moon for the toad. ”
In this legend, Chang'e turned into a toad. Fortunately, the toad that becomes a sperm is ever-changing, and it does not damage the beauty of Chang'e. And at this time, Gu Suo also became a truly cute rabbit, the embodiment of Chang'e.
Then after the Tang Dynasty, the toad was broadly described as the moon and the moon palace, and Chang'e, osmanthus flowers, rabbits, constituted a beautiful mythological story about the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It is precisely because of the toad's round belly, describing the full moon, that it becomes an allusion. Of course, the toad is full of fairy light at this time, jade toad, golden toad, silver toad, color toad, in short, will not be an ugly toad.

"Cloudless world autumn three five, a total of toad plate shanghai end."
Until the end of the first day of the heavens, I did not take a private picture of a family. "Tang Dynasty Cao Song's Mid-Autumn Festival to the Moon"
In this cloudless season, the reunion night of the third and fifth reunions in mid-autumn, everyone watched the toads rise from the cape like a jade plate.
The moon rises from the end of the cape and shines all over the cape of the world, and the clear light is selfless, how can it ever have a private heart, only projecting the moonlight to a family?
Here is written the Mid-Autumn Moonlight Qingming vast.
However, a fat belly toad, climbing into the sky, is really cute and cartoonish, it reminds me of such a lazy animal as the orange cat. But the ancients did not care about myths, and their feelings for toads were far more solemn than ours.
"It should be the Toad Palace that has no feelings, and every autumn half times clarified."
Qingguang did not see this, and the white hair competed to teach where to be born.
It is a pity that the idle land will be occupied, and the window will be divided from the beginning.
Attentive and good for a long time, Mo Shuping is not humane. "Tang Dynasty Xu Day", "Mid-Autumn Moon"
Since the moon has toad-like shadows and patterns, it is naturally very imageable to call the Toad Palace, and there may really be toad essences inside.
Whether it is a toad spirit or Chang'e above, the gods in the world are always because of the Chinese gods, and there is no human feeling.
It should be that the moon has no affection, so every autumn and mid-autumn, doubly bright and clean.
It was the moonlight that must be seen, only to see his white hair, the flow of time.
That Chang'e must have missed the human world extraordinarily, and she was extra lonely, so the moonlight illuminated the corners of the human world.
But I hope that you don't look at human affairs so carefully, please Chang'e, you have a variety of two osmanthus flowers, don't shine all the unfairness of the world, you are sad, I am also sad.
Everyone worships the moon and prays for Chang'e's protection, who really thinks that Chang'e is equally pitiful, blue sea, blue sky, night heart?
On August 15, who does Chang'e really want to shine on? Even if it shines, it is unfair, and it is tearful.
The poem is playful.
The largest moon model is now on the streets of Chongqing
"The clouds are thin and empty, and the light has been broken on this night.
Only after the fear of the time, the jade wheel still raised toads. "Tang Dynasty Luo Yin", "The Moon Is Not Seen in the Mid-Autumn Festival"
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the clouds are thick, and the beautiful moon is not seen.
But people's love for the moon is unceasing.
Fifteen moons, more than fifteen full moons, fourteen sixty-seven are good days to appreciate the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even the beauty of the autumn moon, a whole autumn, August and fifteen, the beginning of September and March, the frost moon, the hook moon, the crescent moon, are the most beautiful moons.
Because we like the moon, we also accept the shadow of the moon, whether it is a toad or a laurel shadow.
Because the sky is high and refreshing, the good autumn brews a bright moon, and the moon after the wind and rain is more moist and pure, and even the shadow is lovely.
Let's just think that there is a big toad in the Moon Palace.
Contemporary people naturally feel funny about the moon and the toad associated, really toad to the sky. But there are frogs abroad that have become princes, so why can't our toads be gods?
Li Shangyin has the most beautiful poem, Sister Yue once met the color toad. That Chang'e floated down the moon palace with the shadow of the laurel tree toad, which was more textured!
