Five poems of the Waxing Moon Atmospheric Poems: This morning the Waxing Moon spring is moving, and it has been a long day and a long night
The Gregorian calendar is the beginning of the New Year, but the traditional lunar calendar is preparing to usher in the grand and grand twilight of December. Blessed are the Chinese, the Gregorian calendar begins with the movement of the sun, and the first day of the month in the Gregorian calendar celebrates the return of the sun in sync with the seasons.
The lunar calendar is based on the cycle of the moon as the main coordinates, and the December of the lunar calendar is the traditional twilight, with grand and cheerful etiquette and mood, bidding farewell to the past and greeting the traditional New Year of the lunar calendar.
December of the lunar calendar is an important time of the year in traditional China, and the commonly used name is Waxing Moon.
Why is the Waxing Moon called the Waxing Moon?
First, in ancient times, this time was the time when the Yellow River Basin was cold and frozen, and it was a time for collective hunting. Laton Hunting.
Second, the animal meat at this time, after the cold air drying, is convenient for storage and sacrifice, and the storage sacrifice is an important project in December, the son of heaven will sacrifice the hunted meat to the ancestors of heaven and earth, which is the traditional sacrifice ceremony.
Third, it is also said that the greatest candle should be lit when the Son of Heaven is sacrificed, and the candle of the Zhou Dynasty is a rare thing, coming from the ash trees of South Vietnam. But there must also be a tradition of wax festivals, so there is only the use of candles, so this statement is only a supplement to the wax moon.
Fourth, in the long life, the storage of cured meat in winter has become a tradition, and bacon has been passed down to this day with its unique flavor. After the bacon is cured and dried, it forms a unique translucent luster, and the wax also becomes an adjective and a definite word, such as something translucent like wax, wax paper, wax jelly, wax plum (wax plum).
Fifth, the most common and oldest, is to call the lunar month of December as the waxing moon, that ice and snow, translucent state, and wax is also mixed into the special feeling of survival and life experience.
Let's look at the atmospheric description of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar and the waxing moon in classical poetry.
"The jade candle is exhausted, and the copper history is still leaking."
The pool condenses and freezes at night, and the cold in the garden accumulates akebode.
Lan Xin did not move, and Mei Guan wanted to contain fang.
Pei Hui was late in the year, and Gu Bu was in the spring. [Tang] Li Zhao's "December Fengjiao"
Li Zhao, Prime Minister of the Middle Tang Dynasty. In the court of the Tang Dynasty, there was already a habit of greeting the waxing moon. The emperor gathered his ministers to carry out the welcoming activities and chanted the moon order. It is required to conform to the characteristics of the monthly order and to conform to the state of the environment at that time to express blessings and feelings.
Jade candle refers to a warm and bright breath, as if the heavens and the earth are shrouded in such a light, this is a Taoist language, used in the Tang Dynasty and the court where Taoism prevailed, and definitely refers to the rule of the Tang Emperor.
But the waxing moon that is nearing the end of the year, in the court, must be full of candles.
So this starts with a pun atmosphere.
Under the emperor's rule, the jade candle is shining, and another year will reach the end.
Listen, that means the copper leak side of time, the copper man guards, and the night at this time is as long as the night leak. Then only in the court, there is a huge copper man copper leak, copper history, is specifically referred to the highest level of copper casting figures, but also refers to the court astronomical meteorological officials.
This expresses that only the emperor and the court can determine the movement of time on earth.
At this time, the court was still in the cold and frozen, Yuyu Qionglou, wrapped in silver, the water of the pond was frozen at night, the steps were cold, the night snow was piled up, and the light was shining in the morning sun.
In fact, this side writes that the court is like the ice and snow beauty of the celestial realm.
But there is a special human atmosphere. The orchid was buried in the snow and had not yet sprouted, but the plum blossoms of the court were already budding.
I stayed here with the emperor to feel the alternating time from winter to spring.
The most important significance of Yingla is to welcome spring.
This poem is a court imperial poem, elegant and atmospheric, landing on the spring light, presumably the emperor who can read the poem will also smile. The various tedious activities of the imperial palace are also to pray for the blessing of the wind and rain.
"The sun's feet are sprinkled with light red, and the thin frost does not sell under the laurel branches."
Vaguely and kindly relieved of the harsh winter, it has been a long day and a long night. "Tang Dynasty Li He's "December"
Although Li He did not serve as a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty and died early, he had the wisdom and sensitivity of a genius, and the feeling and refinement of the natural atmosphere had a height and depth that was difficult for others to reach, and he was called a ghost talent.
So how did he describe December?
The December sun, the sun shining like feet, faintly walking through the heavens and the earth, the light is warm with golden beauty.
The same sentence can describe the sunrise and sunset in December, because the light is not strong at this time, and people can often see the red and round when the mountain rises and sets.
At this time, it is still frost and snow, and you can see that the branches of the tree are still jade trees and flowers, and the frost does not melt.
In the midst of this snow and ice, the sun fell from the gap between the laurel branches. Here the use of laurel branches, is the evergreen of the laurel tree, and there is a kind of fairy meaning. Because the Mountain of Immortals has many laurel trees, and the Cloud Mountain on the edge of the sky must also have laurel trees.
There is the beauty of multiple images here, Li Shangyin likes Li He the most, presumably Li Shangyin's hazy and ambiguous verses are also from Li He's poems to find inspiration for inspiration.
There is a faint gentle breath, slowly dissolving the harsh cold of winter.
The last sentence seems bland, but it is very strange.
At this time, December came, it was walking towards the sun, the day had begun to grow longer, and the night was no longer so long.
Everything was keeping up with the sun, ending the long night.
A kind of surface thin and cold, but can not hide the bright walk towards spring and sunshine.
This is Li He's December, clear and atmospheric, and philosophical and emotional.
Who wouldn't want to say goodbye to the long, cold night and follow the sun!
"This morning, the moon is moving in the spring, and qianjiang in Yun'an County is pitiful.
A sound where to send books to the geese, hundreds of people who get on the water boat.
Did not make Mei Rui look sad, to take the catalpa flower to charm the sky.
The bright light drafters envied, lung disease for a few hours as the sun. "Tang Dynasty Du Fu's "Three Songs on December 1st"
The 53-year-old Du Fu entered Sichuan after the chaos of anshi and lived in Yun'an County, Sichuan, which is now Yunyang County, for half a year, spanning winter and spring.
Yunyang County is located on both sides of the Three Gorges and has beautiful scenery. Beautiful and quaint. Du Fu quenched his thirst because of rheumatism and lung disease, and recuperated in this small county town near the water. Far from being in the rivers and lakes, I have not forgotten the heart of the court.
This waxing moon is coming, spring is floating between the mountains and rivers, grass and trees, and the gorge river that passes through Yun'an is really cute.
Don't think that the pity in Tang poetry is a kind of sad pity, and pity is cute, which can inspire that kind of tenderness that makes people happy.
The river water in Yunyang County, it is blue and turquoise, soothing and beautiful like the world.
The geese in the sky cried out clearly, looked up, the geese flew over the clear sky, where are you going to pass the book?
On the Qing River, a hundred-foot-tall ship is sailing against the water, but on such a turquoise and wide water, it only makes people feel a kind of tranquility, whose boat is this, going home for the New Year?
Seeing such a bright scenery, Du Fu was in a good mood.
Around the plum blossoms, often when the plum blossoms, Du Fu will be sad, but today and the wind and the beautiful day, the first day of the waxing moon, he is in a bright mood, because there is also a kind of mountain tree, also blooming, that is the catalpa tree, the catalpa tree is taller than the plum blossom, and here the ground is warm and warm, the beautiful catalpa flower under the blue sky, light and bright.
In the Tang Dynasty, the catalpa tree was often a post station street tree, and here the catalpa tree blossomed, didn't it indicate that Du Fu was about to return to his hometown?
Although Du Fu was ill, he had a proud ambition, he once paid homage to Zuo Shiyi, and drafted an edict for the king in The Mingguang Hall of Emperor Suzong of Tang, which was envied by everyone, although it was in a period of war, but it was the highlight of his life.
At this time, such a beautiful waxing moon, he is still in the midst of illness, giving birth to pride and hope, when will I be able to return to Chang'an and do things for the king and the country again?
Trapped in the rivers and lakes, but the heart is in the hall. This was a chaotic world, not a peaceful world, and even if Du Fu could be enabled by the imperial court, it would not be some wealth and glory waiting for him. Therefore, this is his patriotic heart, and he wants to assist the emperor in suppressing the rebellion and returning peace to the world.
"The moon is like a torrential wave. Frozen clouds want to break the cold roots.
Xie NuXue's poems are really singing.
It's unbelievable. Long causeway willows flew back and forth.
It is good to praise the amount of wine. The wine is not sung.
This goes to youth are all paid.
Hugh hopes. Yaolin can be visited on the same day. "Song Dynasty Ouyang Xiu," Fisherman's Pride, The Moon Is Like a Raging Wave
The Fisherman Pride of Ouyang Xiu in the Song Dynasty described the Moon Order with two songs per month, which is one of the poems of December, which is bold, deep and bright.
When it comes to the waxing moon, nearly a year will pass, and you clearly feel that the years are like waves. This poem is very shocking, it is this truth, the more to the end of the year, the more things, the sacrifice at the national level, the ancestor worship at the family level, busy should be the theme of this month, and it is this busyness, you will clearly feel that time is short, time is like a wave, surging through you have passed.
At this time, there will often be clouds in the sky, and snow will fall.
Xie Daoyun said, snowflakes are flying like willows.
In the midst of the snowflakes that are flying, you step on the long causeway to bid farewell, the snowflakes are like willows, the cold and the twilight, should you rejoice or be sad?
I'm afraid the sadness will be more.
But Ouyang Xiu has another way to resolve, come, drink a good wine together in the snow, we warm up together, don't let those silk bamboo soft songs evoke our parting feelings.
Because no matter how beautiful the music, the tune is slow, it will make people sad.
Sad what, the years of youth, all at once passed, like a cannon fight, let go of it. Of course, the salary here is not a sound, but a meal of kung fu. But the feeling is almost the same, living through youth is gone, talking about a year is almost over, it is really sad.
However, after Ouyang Xiu recognized this reality, he had a way to deal with the sadness of the flowing years, and everyone should not look back sadly. Doesn't it snow?
Although the snow is separated, it is not a parting of life and death, and when the snow stops, we will all walk on the snow together to find plums.
For the years of flowing years, there are plum blossoms, years of cold flowers, standing tall.
Can't hold back the years, but we still have friendship and plum blossom spirit, right?
Therefore, this song has a deep and atmospheric, sad and warm, and there is helplessness in life, but it is also firm and comforting, generous and bold, and it is a masterpiece of waxing moon.
"The east wind blows the handle, and the warm law becomes stricter.
The grass is scorching, and the streams are breaking the ice.
Children's books spring day, female qi on the yuan lamp.
Mo xiaopu slept in the niches, and the mountain man grew timid. "Song Luyou", "December 1st"
This song of the Song Dynasty's Land Tour is particularly soothing and pastoral, and describes the rural waxing moon with details.
The east wind blew the Big Dipper in the sky, and the warm music of the heavens replaced the cold and heaviness. It's spring coming.
In the land of autumn and winter burn marks, there are small grasses that sprout timidly, as if they are still hesitant to go to the wrong season? And the stream is frozen, and between the streams, with residual ice.
The boy who was reading was learning to write the Spring Festival At this time, the couplets and fu characters that closed the door that year would come from his hands, so he was concentrating on practicing words and writing poetry.
The girl was doing handicrafts with great interest, because the Lanterns of the New Year and the Lantern Festival were her masterpieces.
Don't laugh at me until now, I don't clean up the futons in my house, and all kinds of things for sacrifice.
Don't laugh at me for always sleeping when other people are busy.
I was afraid that another year would pass, and I would add another year.
In fact, Lu You is ridiculing himself, where is he not diligent? It's just that the year is coming to an end, and his children are busy, and he inevitably has the feeling that the years are like water in happiness.
The peaceful and festive celebrations in this hometown waxing moon are also delicate and fresh and moving by him.
The waxing moon has arrived, and it will leave you feelings.
Hatsuyoshi Katsuyuki interprets the love and beauty in the poems for you.
