The Spring Festival is not only a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, but also this cultural custom is widely spread, and the warm festive atmosphere can be felt all over the world. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, people paste door links, cut window flowers, wear new clothes, set off firecrackers, and celebrate the new and family reunions during the Spring Festival, looking forward to a better future and blessing a healthy life.
During the New Year, friends and family gather together, everyone is elated, raises a glass and drinks, says auspicious words, sings festive songs, tastes delicious food, composes wonderful poems, and unconsciously returns to the earth and loves the world.
However, there was a talented man in the Ming Dynasty who did not think so, and it was also very reasonable to savor it carefully. The following shares the talent of the Spring Festival sitting down, lyrical writing a masterpiece, the literary style is flying, more interesting.
"Idle Reward"
Ming Dynasty: Wei Yong
New Year's Day socializing is bitter, and the reading is getting deeper, the light is getting shorter, adding a bit of armor and increasing a lot of emotion. Zhuang Zi said: "A large piece of labor I live for", this is what it means!
Those I take, Shuqi is at the door, the wind is blowing, and the eastern suburbs are farming and raising their toes. Jiangmei dying willow, decorating spring work, clear snow wind, melting wax, mountain dwellers, sitting with negatives, suddenly feeling comfortable and long, for life a fast ear.
Wei Yong was a talented son in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, he was born in Shuxiangmendi, and he liked to collect books in his life, especially copying and engraving. Caizi liked to read and was bound to be knowledgeable, but he preferred to write books at home and speak, rather than be an official in the Qing court.
The New Year's Day that the ancients said was the Spring Festival. During the festive season, it is necessary to visit relatives and friends, which can enhance feelings and reflect a care. However, as they get older, many people are a little tired of all kinds of socializing, and even if they are during the New Year's Festival, they are not willing to go around.
Wei Yong belongs to this kind of person, so the opening chapter says "social hardship", and the good time cannot be reproduced, which is even more emotional. The author also quotes Zhuangzi's words, complaining that heaven makes it hard for people to live.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the author is very reasonable. Life is only a hundred years, only childhood is carefree, as long as you go to school and work, you will deal with people, all kinds of homework and tasks are overwhelming, endless. Aside from eating and sleeping, the rest of the day is hardly on your own, and every day is busy, like a constant march and a war, and there is no time to relax and relax.
Although the author is over the age of flower armor, he still loves nature and needs more time to go out and entertain. Next, the author affectionately depicts the beautiful scene of early spring, and Caizi uses eight words in one breath to express his yearning for a good time and the expectation of a leisurely life.
"Lady's breath at the door, the wind blows", the spring breeze, the weather and warmth, just suitable for the growth of crops in the suburbs. The farmers will also seize the time and work with their feet, and the scene of a bumper harvest is just around the corner. "Jiangmei Causeway Willow" delicately decorates the spring scenery; "clear snow strip wind", also blows all over the earth, melting the snow, making people feel refreshed.
Caizi lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, "sitting with a negative face", the spring breeze and softness, the author bathes in the bright sunshine, feels that the day is getting longer, and the mood is extremely cheerful.
Wei Yong's short article is full of literary brilliance and is more interesting, and everyone must also be quite touched in addition to appreciating. The reason why talents are reluctant to participate in various socializing can reduce the trouble of relatives and friends, and also save their own time. In today's era, communication is developed, and the New Year does not have to stick to the inherent form, the ancients still advocate changing customs and customs, and future generations should actively imitate and improve.
In the author's mind, the Spring Festival is full of chores and is tired to cope with, so at this time, close to nature, will not waste a day. This view seems very absurd, is it true that all things in nature are more important than relatives and friends?
But when everyone thinks about it, it is not unreasonable. Life is full of hardships and hardships, all year round running and tired, you need to relax completely, why worry too much, isn't this more tied to yourself? The more people "read the age and shorten the light", the more they can feel the author's idyllic nostalgia!
