The Moon of Meng Chun. Spring Day. Everything sometimes.

Excerpt from the "Qunshu Zhizhi Zhi zhi zhi ji , Monthly Order " " moon " is astronomy , " order " is political affairs

Lichun is the first of the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar. In the I Ching, it is recorded that the ancient saint kings "looked at the astronomy to observe the changes of time, and looked at the humanities to transform into the world." ”

Therefore, the ancient holy king was "when he went up to the heavens, he gave the civil people, and the heavens ruled the people." "Governing government affairs according to the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Time, so we formulated a set of programs for administering administrative affairs according to the five elements of astronomy and yin and yang. Follow the seasonal changes from month to month to determine what exactly should be done. The Son of Heaven who implements this royal system must reside in the Ming Hall to govern, so the Moon Order is also called the "Ming Tang Moon Order" or "Wang Ju Ming Tang Ceremony".

"The Moon of Meng Chun." Spring Day. Tianzi personally led the Three Dukes and Nine Qing Princes to welcome the spring in the eastern suburbs. Fate Budd and Order. Celebrate and give favors. Down and Mega Man. ”

"Meng" means long. The "Moon of Mengchun" is the first month of spring.

"Xiang" means "the three dukes who are the same as the king", that is, the three dukes who assist the king's ministers.

"Bude", this "virtue", is the meaning of good teaching, the meaning of moral teaching.

"And", "he ling" of the sum, Wang Yinzhi said, "the sum of the he order, when read as a declaration", is the declaration of the announcement. "It is said to be a buchid religion, and its prohibition is also proclaimed. The ancient sound of xuan and near, so the word xuan is common and harmonious. That is to say, "Bude and Ling" should be read as a proclamation, and it is the same as the proclamation of the proclamation. The "Bude Peace Order" was the promulgation of the Virtues and the proclamation of the ban at that time.

"Order" is the prohibition of time, the prohibition of the present.

"Celebrate", Hugh Qishan also".

"Hugh" means beauty, praise and praise for good deeds.

"Benefiting" means to sympathize with their deficiencies, that is, to provide relief to those who are insufficient.

The meaning of this passage is that on the day of the first month of spring, Tianzi personally led the three princes and nine princes to the eastern suburbs to hold a spring ceremony. Order the Three Dukes to promulgate the virtues, announce the prohibitions of the present, praise good deeds, and help the poor and inadequate, and spread kindness to the broad masses of the people.

"It's Tsukiya. The Son of Heaven prays to God on the first day. It is the choice of the yuanchen. Tianzi Personal Marshal Three Dukes and Nine Qing Princes Grand Master Gong Gong Gong ”

"The Son of Heaven prays to God on the first day." Refers to the above-mentioned Suburban Festival. According to the Book of Rites and Suburbs, "Suburbs use xin. That is to say, the festival in the suburbs is on the xin day, and the shangxin is the first xin day.

The Spring and Autumn Chronicle says, "FuJiao worships Hou Ji to pray for agricultural affairs." "God, too small emperor also."

This goes into great detail. That is to say, in this month, the Son of Heaven holds a ceremony to sacrifice the heavens on the first day of the new year, sacrifice houji, and pray for a good harvest.

"It's the first day of the day." "Yuan Chen", note explains "Gai Suburb After Yoshitsuya." "It was an auspicious day after the suburban ceremony, and after the sacrifice was chosen, the Son of Heaven personally led the Three Princes and Nine Princes to personally cultivate in the fields.

"Emperor Zhi", the note reads: "For the gods to borrow the power of the people to rule the field also." "Emperor Zhi" is the responsible land cultivated by the Son of Heaven, also known as the Emperor's Land.

Let's look further down.

"Logging is prohibited. No nest covering. No killing of children. Fetal birds. No down, no eggs. Don't gather the masses. Don't put the city in the middle of nowhere. Bury the hips. Don't be called a soldier. The soldiers will be damned. ”

This verse is about the breath of the times.

That is to say, in the first month of spring, we should follow the characteristics of spring birth, pay attention to the protection of these young animals, and not have a reverse life.

"Prohibition of logging", "prohibition" means prohibition of logging.

"Stop" means to stop those who have been cut down.

There is still a slight difference between prohibition and cessation. "Prohibition of logging" means prohibition of cutting down of trees.

"Do not cover the nest", "cover the nest", "if the nest of the bird is covered." "In other words, you are not allowed to destroy the nest." "Overturning" is to turn it over.

"Don't kill babies or birds."

A "baby worm" is a larva. "Fetal death", the fetus is not yet born in the abdomen. "夭" is that it has been born, but it is still very small. This "bird" refers to the bird that first flies.

That is, larvae, unborn young animals, and birds that have just begun to learn to fly are not allowed to be mutilated.

"No musk, no eggs." It is forbidden to hunt small animals and take bird eggs. "No mole and no egg" is forbidden in all seasons, but it should be especially forbidden in the first month of spring.

"Don't gather the masses. Don't put the city in the middle of nowhere. ”

Don't gather the masses this month, and don't add more castles this month.

"Bury the hips."

Bones wither, flesh rot.

That is to say, to bury dry bones and rotten flesh.

"Don't be called a soldier. The soldiers will be damned. ”

Those who raise troops to kill will inevitably suffer disasters from heaven. Why? Because "inverse anger also." "It's also because he's angry against life."

This sentence also tells us that the fall of trees should be prohibited in the spring. Bird's nests are not allowed to be destroyed. Larvae, unborn young animals, and birds that have just begun to learn to fly are not allowed to be mutilated. It is forbidden to hunt small animals and take bird eggs. Do not gather the masses this month, and do not add more castles in this month. Bury dead bones and carrion. It is forbidden to raise troops to kill, and to raise troops to kill and kill will inevitably be subject to disasters descended from heaven.

It is also the qi that assists the growth and development of all things, so that the officials in charge of the judiciary can reduce their prisons, remove the shackles and handcuffs of prisoners, let alone execute violent corpses, torture prisoners, and do not dry the water in rivers and lakes, do not dry up the ponds, and do not set fire to the mountains and forests. This is all about conforming to the ever-growing yang qi and nurturing all things.

This passage tells us that the growth of all things is seasonal, especially in the spring, all things are in the period of growth and development, so to protect their growth, we cannot cut down the mountains and forests casually; we cannot catch these young animals casually; we cannot fish for exhaustion; and so on.

We will learn here today, and we welcome criticism and correction of deficiencies.

Thank you!
