The third day of the Lunar New Year. Play spring
Tomorrow spring, the first solar term of the year, the twenty-four solar terms begin a new cycle, and the new year officially begins.
The day before the spring, there is a custom of welcoming spring in the hometown. One is to tie red cloth, especially in the door handle, door crane, window edge, bedside tie red cloth strip; the second is to paste spring paste, with red paper, it is best to cut the red cloth into a pattern, skillfully can be cut into the genus pattern of the year, can not be cut into a pattern, paste on the window, ornaments, but also sewn on the shoulders of children's clothes. Every year in the spring, the mother carefully cut the gourd, found a red cloth, cut it into large and small gourds, cut out the dense thin strips in the mouth of the gourd, and then pasted them everywhere in a conspicuous place in the house, and then displayed the children of the children given to her children, or the children of the neighbors, and seriously instructed them to be tied to the clothes. I asked her what it meant, and she couldn't say why, but only told me that it was passed on to her by my grandmother, auspicious, and could be filled with blessings. This year's Lichun during the New Year, many people are busy forgetting to welcome the spring, but the mother did not forget, just now, and took out a dozen red gourds cut to his wife, solemnly instructed, to paste at night. The third is to eat spring cakes, also known as biting spring. This technique, the wife is good at, especially the spring cake roll fried shredded potatoes, the best to eat. I've been busy entertaining all day this year, and no one mentioned eating spring cakes. According to my father, many years ago, there was a custom of beating spring cattle in my hometown. Taking the family as the unit, using flowers and green paper, even with the paste, it is made into the shape of a cow, and the cow's belly is filled with corn, wheat grain, beans and other grains, and the people break the cattle and distribute the grain to each family, which means that the cattle are more powerful and the grain is abundant.
There is also a strange custom of playing spring without hitting the bed. My analysis is to hope that everyone will get up diligently, and the spring symbolizes the beginning of the agricultural busyness, and do not be lazy in bed. I checked, this year's spring is 4:50:36, it is estimated that most people will be knocked down on the bed, huh 🤭.
Today is spring, the weather is exceptionally good. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the leeks in the courtyard have sent out sharp buds, warm spring feelings.
In the evening, I went to Yaniu River Park for a super jog and was lazy for a few days. As the sun sets, the afterglow sprinkles on the trees, enriching the layers of light and shadow. The river has melted the ice in section by section, and the water is rippling, and I don't think I have frozen properly this winter. The oil pine had already glowed a little new green, and the three people walking around the bend were talking about the wild ducks and rare egrets that had wintered on the river the other day. Everywhere there are signs of spring budding.
Slow down, calm down, try to make the eyes kind, gently look at this familiar place, and admire a pine cone, a dead leaf, a piece of ice floes.
Li Chun is the beginning of the cycle of solar terms, life is also constantly repeated in the cycle of reincarnation, people are the same, impermanence is constant, and impermanence is impermanence. I looked carefully at the trees on the side of the road and divided them into four categories. The first is the so-called evergreen tree, there are pines and cypresses, but they are also the color of old green, and they are also doing the dormancy of life and pretending to be just like that. The second is to more or less hang dead leaves, drag mud with water, and die on the face. Third, the leaves are falling brightly, leaving only the branches, clean and neat, and the life is pure and refreshing. Fourth, the dead leaves are falling, but the seeds are hanging on the branches, and at a glance, they know that it is a female plant, the mother and child are attached, and the pulse is warm. If you think about our crowd, wouldn't you be able to do this in four minutes? But it is this kind of difference that has the wonderful world, a mold carving person, but also too old-fashioned and single, so do not simply judge, even do not matter good or bad, existence is reasonable, not to mention that existence is not necessarily true. "Don't let the glass shine idly on the Buddha, and know that there is no lamp in the endless."
As the sky darkens, the surrounding scenery returns to the taste of winter, depression and indifference. This day also completes a short cycle. There is no moon, there are no people waiting to admire the moon, I don't know. "Who on the banks of the river first saw the moon?" When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year? Life is infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year. ”
According to experts, this is the last winter of the epidemic, spring is really coming, may Jiang Yue be unharmed, may the new reincarnation, crush all the dirt and evil, and return to the right way in the world.
