Lantern Festival Spring Moon Six Songs: Spring Moon is round spring water slippery, and then every spring moon is round to people
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival is an ancient and grand folk custom that originated from the worship of the moon, stars and fire in ancient times. The sun, moon and stars are the coordinates used to define human time and space, and during the Yellow Emperor period, there was the "Yellow Emperor Calendar" formulated with the moon phase and the operation of the sun.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Great Wilderness of the West sutra records: "There is a woman bathing in the moon. Emperor Jun's wife Chang Xi, born on the tenth day of the second month, this began to bathe. "This is the oldest mythological explanation of the moon, Emperor Jun's wife Chang Xi gave birth to twelve moons, and then bathed them in turn, so that there were twelve moons in the sky. This is a clever myth, because the moon every month is like bathing in a river of heaven, and when it is washed clean, it is the night of the full moon. Chang Xi, of course, has another function, to control these births of the moon, honestly according to the law.
Then in the southern ancient Chu kingdom, the moon and the toad are linked together, and it is a huge toad spirit. Toad has the function of winter or drought immortality, and strong reproductive ability, the moon is the embodiment of the giant toad essence, otherwise why does it have the pattern of the toad, and when the moon is full in the spring, the toad chirps and begins to hatch many offspring.
Therefore, the moon represents many meanings in ancient times, in addition to night illumination, people observe the relationship between the moon and the tides and reproduction. Especially the spring moon, representing water, is endless, and the autumn moon shines on the harvest.
The sacrifice of the moon is ancient, Shuo is the first day of the moon, and the string is the seventh day of the moon. Hope is the fifteenth day of the moon, and obscurity is the thirtieth day of the moon's operation.
After the Zhou Dynasty, the spring sacrificed the sun, and the autumn sacrificed the moon, which was a royal ceremony, and the folk sacrifices were endless.
Then in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of han set the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar as the first day of the year, the important manifestation of the new year and the new spring, in this month, the emperor greeted the spring, the day and night lights were sacrificed to symbolize the highest god Taiyi Xingjun, and the sacrifice of the first full moon of the new year was particularly thick in the folk. This royal level sacrifice of taiyi xingjun, combined with the folk spring full moon sacrifice, is believed to be the origin of the fifteenth day of the first month.
In the first month of the year, the spring moon is full. You can think of the carnival sacrifices and blessings of the Han Dynasty people in the New Year's festival atmosphere.
The spring moon at the beginning of the year represents happiness, fullness, fertility, rain, tides, and all the associated exuberance.
And the Wei and Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties appeared another moon god, called Zigu, in fact, is the circulation and evolution of the ancient Changxi, she as a folk lunar god, more specific management, silkworm mulberry, fertility, child education, all managed, so the folk on the fifteenth day of the first month has a grand folk custom to welcome the Purple Gu God.
In the Tang Dynasty, folklore was already like this, so the official incorporation of this folk festival into the Taoist system, the official called Shangyuan Festival, in the evolution of history, this day is called Yuan Night, Lantern Festival, Lantern Festival. Celebrate the first full moon night of this spring with grand lights.
Writing so much is to say that the Lantern Festival moon is important.
The Lantern Festival and the moon are inseparable, although the prosperity of the human world has made many people not care about the moon on this day, but also care about the happy and full human joy of this festival, as well as the brilliant human lights.
So today I will specially select a few poems about the spring moon of the Lantern Festival, so that everyone can feel the ancients' love and feelings for the moon on this day.
"Fighting wine on the edge of the city, the head is drunk and sleepy."
Pear blossoms thousands of trees snow, poplar leaves ten thousand smoke.
Don't add a pot of wine, Linqi gives a horse whip.
Watch the king go up, and the new moon will come home. "Don · Cen Shan", "Send Yangzi"
Cen Shan of the Tang Dynasty worked for a long time in the border area, and he was the chief clerk and judge of the shogunate in Ansi Jiedu. On the scraps of paper unearthed on the frontier in the last century, there are still records and traces of his work. He went deep into the desert, dutifully fulfilled his duties, and often met or sent off friends who returned to the capital in the vast and cold north.
A song "Meet at once without paper and pencil, and report peace by the word of the king." "It writes about the generosity of the border soldiers for the country and the great feelings of missing their loved ones."
Then this poem is his farewell friend Yang Zi back to the mainland for the New Year. At Weicheng, which borders the interior, it stopped. This is an important north-south post, the north is the west out of Yangguan, the south is back to the capital hometown.
There are no pear blossoms here, and the pear blossoms are the flowers that bloom in mid-spring and late spring, but Cen Ginseng likes pear blossoms because there is only snow like pear blossoms here. So it's late winter and early spring in Weicheng, and there's pear-like snow on the trees, and the willows have begun to sprout.
I am here to drink and say goodbye to you, send a branch of my horse whip, see you rush to your hometown in Henan, when you arrive home, you will definitely catch the fifteenth day of the first month of the New Year, when you come home, the moon is round.
This is the meaning of the moon on the fifteenth day of the first month, which represents the reunion in people's hearts.
"The snow forest has been cold all night. The east wind came just in front of the lights.
What year is this night? New Year and New Moon.
Fragrant mist. Remember the slacker.

The Lantern Festival of the Song Dynasty was officially closed for three days, and the actual folk were almost five days of carnival, from the fourteenth day of the first month to the seventeenth day of the first month. Such a long holiday, very good staggered rain, can be orderly to take care of the delivery, watch the lights and watch the moon. In fact, at this time people already know the cycle of the moon, such as the fullest moon, may be at fourteen, or it may be delayed to sixteen.
However, the fifteenth day of the first month is still a good time to see the lights and admire the moon, if the weather is not good, you can advance or postpone.
People's love for the spring moon is from the heart. Many people will go specifically to see the moon in the spring and bathe in the moonlight. For example, since the Song Dynasty, this festival has been popular, wearing white clothes, with a full head of silver and white flower branches, carrying lanterns together in the moonlight, stepping through the city's truth, so that the spring moonlight like snow, sprinkled on the body of the snow, pregnant with the most beautiful spring vitality and freshness, is another kind of winter to spring grand beauty.
After the heavy snow, the temperature rises rapidly, and the warm spring breeze blows a lantern in the world.
What a wonderful night tonight, it was a new spring, the first night the moon was round.
Everywhere there were beautiful people dressed like fairies in the moonlight, and the incense mist was gusting.

The spring moon here represents the happiness of love and the observance of each other.

"The white-headed reading plum blossoms are old, and the blue-eyed people are willow-colored Shu."
The spring moon is round and the spring water is slippery, why should the snow night buckle my house. Song · Excerpt from Dai Bing's "Sending Thanks to Friends on Behalf of Jane"
This is a poem that lives in seclusion in the mountains and refuses to let a friend come to visit.
He said that he had been estranged from the world for many years, did not have much contact with friends, and the letters that friends had sent years ago had only replied to them until now. You should know my state, so you don't have to come to visit me on the fifteenth day of the first month.
I myself am like the plum blossoms in this mountain, which have been very vicissitudes, and in the early spring, the willow trees here sprout, and there is no beauty outside the world.
The spring moon is the roundest season, and the spring water thaws, which is the most beautiful time of nature.
However, I am in the mountains, there will still be spring snow blocking the road, please don't bother to come over, each of you is well, do not disturb the tranquility of this mountain, go to see the spring moon and spring water around you.
The so-called tranquility is far away.
Spring moon is round spring water slippery, this is not only in the mountains, but also in other places can see the beauty, real interaction, with fate, its light as water and its full moon, there is a heart is perfect, spring naturally grows in the heart, there is no need to seek formal mutual keeping.
The poem is very philosophical and readable.
And the Lantern Festival is also a day with a broad connotation, some people emphasize communication, some people emphasize tranquility, and joy and randomness are good.
And obviously Dai Bing is willing to give this beautiful day to the most beautiful nature.
"Penglai Palace que que qingtian, after looking at the lamp to remember the past years."
Who reads the road under the East Hedge Mountain, and then rounds the people in the spring moon. "Meta · Fan Yi's "Shangyuan Day"
The Lantern Festival of the Yuan Dynasty was not as grand as that of the Song Dynasty, but the tradition of watching the lanterns has been preserved, but the rulers did not enjoy the people as much as the emperors of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, pushing up the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.
For example, this poem is written about fan huan who retired from illness and retreated to seclusion, and when he saw the lanterns in the countryside, he recalled the festival of lights he had seen at the court.
That is, the court of the Yuan Dynasty also passed the fifteenth day of the first month, all the palaces were lit up, the lights were bright like the Penglai Wonderland, and the brilliance at night was very magnificent in the night sky.
This is rare first-hand information, because there are not many records about the fifteenth day of the first month of the Yuan Dynasty court, and most of the search materials are vague, to the effect that the Yuan Dynasty did not take holidays, believing that work was rest. But at least in this poem, the court still has a grand display of lights.
Fan Huan used to edit the Hanlin Academy of the Yuan Dynasty and served as a more important magistrate, because his mother was seriously ill and his health was not good, so he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion in his 50s.
When he saw the moon on the fifteenth day of the first month in the countryside, his heart was still rejoicing. His mother is the most important support in his life, or will her illness get better this year, and she can return to the court to do things?
But this was only a wish, his mother died soon after, and during the filial piety to his mother, he also died of illness.
But the joyful anticipation of watching the full moon in spring remains in the poem.
The spring moon of the year makes people have many expectations for the future.
"The dim and lonely lights up, and the journey is thousands of miles."
Snow chi Yandian horse, spring waiting chu river boat.
Bamboo leaves are difficult to love, plum blossoms can be passed on.
Three or five nights after arriving home, the crescent moon is beginning to come true. "Ming · Qin Pan "Sending Autumn Wild back to Jiangnan at dusk"
If you go home for the New Year, you can't catch up with the first day of the first year, you must also rush to the fifteenth, because the traditional fifteenth day of the first month is considered a year.
For the wanderers who have no choice but to stay in the countryside, the time to go home for the New Year has been postponed repeatedly, but as long as they can still catch the Lantern Festival, then their hearts are still more or less complete. That's a complement to reunion.
Qin Pan sent his friend back to his hometown in Jiangnan before the New Year. There are deep blessings here.
The twilight snow in winter hinders the horses in the north, so I know that when the spring comes, you must still be on the chu river boat.
I took the bamboo leaf wine to toast you, and went back to my hometown, accompanied by plum blossoms along the way.
I believe that although you have spent the New Year on the road, you will definitely go home before the fifteenth day of the first month, the moon on the fifteenth day of the first month, just as beautiful, the moon of the New Year, it is round, and you are also reunited in your hometown.
Usually the New Year reunion will eat Chinese New Year's Eve meal Chinese New Year's Eve, but if this day is not aligned, the fifteenth day of the first month is also a good supplement, and many families will stay together on this day, eating tangyuan, eating dumplings, and watching the moon.
Reuniting in the first full moon of the new year is enough to make up for many shortcomings and represents a new beginning.

But he walked towards Yunxi, and there was no suspicion that the night was late. Qing · Hong Liangji "Fourteen Nights of Fellow People To Each Temple to See the Lantern Shed Returning to Pass by Baiyun Creek Step Moon"
This is the Lantern Festival that Hong Liangji of the Qing Dynasty saw in the countryside.
On the fourteenth day of the first month, lao tzu temple and land temple were already in the temple, setting up lights and building various lamp sheds, just waiting for the fifteenth of the first month to light up. This is the folk festival of lights and temple fairs. Hong Liangji has the meaning of grass-roots inspection, after all, the temple fair is also about the economy and security of a place, and after his inspection, he first went public and then private to see the moon.
Since the Song Dynasty, in fact, many people know that the fifteenth moon may be fourteenth and the roundest, or it may be sixteen. This is the difference between the moon phase and the calendar.
Therefore, seeing the most beautiful and round spring moon on the fourteenth day of the first month is also a high probability event.
Hong Liangji is passing by Baiyun Creek at night, specially doing a lingering, at this time the plum blossoms have passed through the cold winter and spring warmth, the stream is full of flowers, and a round of spring moon is properly raised into the sky.
The festival of lights on earth is lively the next day, but during the lighting period, it will reduce the brilliance of the moon.
Today's best, the spring moon is round, and there is no firecracker noise.
A bright moon in the sky and a spring moon in the water, he lingered for a long time, thinking of who.
I think he misses his deceased friend Huang Jingren, the confidant who loves the moon with Li Bai's talent, and now he is also wandering with his soul. We love and commemorate a person, often only the mountains and rivers, the beautiful scenery, memories and souls.
The Lantern Festival is the "first night of the first full moon in spring". Or the right round time is two or three days before and after, but it does not affect this festival, and this spring moon brings people deep beauty and feelings.
It is the momentum of spring, the completion of the new year of the moon, and the reunion and expectation of the world.
Or this day is cloudy and sunny, but the most beautiful and first spring moon always falls on the heart, singing it, dancing to celebrate it, and lamps to wish it.
