The Chinese knot of Kingo can't help but lantern night
Author: Wu Qian
Chinese really will choose the day.
From the last day of the old year, the main theme of the Spring Festival is biased towards the family reunion within the relatives, keeping the new year, paying homage to the new year, pressing the old money... How to give the Spring Festival an unusual ending?
Then choose the fifteenth day of the first month, the first full moon night of the new year, the moonlight is bright, the light is clear, and the night of the garden will be more suitable.
In ancient times, the first month was called "Yuan Yue", and the night was "supper" in the ancient language, hence the name of the Lantern Festival; in addition, the beginning of the new moon in the oracle bone was elevated to "eve", so it was also called New Year's Eve.
"Jinwu can't help the night, jade leaks can not be urged", the Lantern Festival is about from the pre-Qin period before the spring ploughing to pray for a good harvest of the bonfire, after the river of history washed, began in the Western Han Dynasty, flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and gradually evolved into a grand festival of the people rejoicing. On this night, the agrarian society's twilight Chinese, without having to abide by the strict daily curfew, they break down the barriers of identity, men and women, young and old, all poured into the streets to start the all-night carnival.
As the saying goes, thirty fires fifteen lamps. Although the Lantern Festival is a festival marked by a full moon, the bright moon hanging high in the night sky at this time is just a background embellishment of the "fire tree and honeysuckle" in the world.
The protagonist of this night is the lamp.
Every household is lit, and there are 108 lights in the corners. One year, Sima Guang and his wife were idling in Luoyang, just happened to encounter the Lantern Festival, the lady wanted to go out to see the lights, Sima Guang stopped her: "The family has already lit the lights, why go out to see?" ”
Certainly worth seeing. In the street market, there are 10,000 flower lanterns and 10,000 lamp buildings.
The Tang Dynasty notebook novel "Chaoye Youzai" records: "On the fifteenth and sixteenth night of the first month of the second year of Emperor Ruizong's first birthday, he made a lamp wheel outside the Anfu Gate of the Beijing Master, twenty meters high, dressed in brocade, decorated with gold and jade, and burned 50,000 lamps, clustered like flowers and trees." "That year, I stood in front of the north wall of Cave 220 of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. On the wall of the painting, the nine-story lamp tower is full of lanterns, and the light wheels on both sides are also full of colored lights, and the flying clothes of the lights are like clouds. Although in the Gobi, although it is June, in a trance, in front of xu Xu, there is the fire of the Sheng Tang Dynasty, and the laughter is noisy.
What Mrs. Sima wanted to see, in addition to the lamp, there was also a weaving crowd. Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Dream Record" records that during the Lantern Festival, on the Kaifeng Royal Street, ten thousand colorful lanterns were built into a mountain of lights, magic and magic, song and dance, scales and scales, and crowds of people watched. People dressed in costumes and wearing various masks chase the flowing light and shadow, blending in with the bustling street market.
People are always the most admirable scenery.
I vaguely remember that in the "Words of Daming Palace", on the night of the Lantern Festival, the fourteen-year-old Princess Taiping sneaked out of the palace. In the jubilant lights of the sky, Taiping looked at the eyes, and as soon as he turned around, he was separated from Sister Wei who had left the palace together. She cried in fear as she looked for the Kunlun Nu mask her sister was wearing. One by one, the masks were lifted, and after countless unfamiliar faces, she saw a bright face she had never seen before, and a soft smile that slowly blossomed on her resolute cheeks—that was Xue Shao.
The cardamom maiden opened her sweet love for the broken dream.
I don't know what it is, but I go deeper. It is said that Cangjie spent his life creating Chinese characters, and the last word is "love".
Love, shape and sound, from the heart from the blue. Xun Zi said: The heart is also the king of form, and the lord of the gods is also." This means that the mind is the most important organ of the human body, determining the will and soul of the person. Qing, the five elements belong to wood; wood, in the east, is the direction of the spring breeze full of hope. Chinese so he used qing to replace all beautiful things: beautiful metal made of bronze, black and shiny hair is green silk, the sky is blue when the rain is sunny, and the best years of life are called youth. In the world's only ancient writing system that has been used to this day, love is a beautiful emotion born from the heart.
Ancient Chinese characters are the extraction of sound language and silent thinking and imagination in this way, and give them continuously extended meaning in application, giving people endless space for reverie.
The subtle euphemism Chinese, wrote the romantic and amorous Lantern Date in poetry and opera novels, and painted these stories on the Lantern Lantern, attracting young men and women to come to the lively market to admire the lanterns, or "after dusk", or looking forward to the good people.
Qingyu case (wǎn) · New Year's Eve
Southern Song Dynasty· Xin abandons the disease
Flowers and trees bloom at night in the east wind. More blowing down, the stars like rain. BMW carved car fragrant road. The sound of the phoenix vibrates, the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
Moth snow willow golden wisps. Laughter filled the dark incense. The multitudes looked for him a thousand times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dimmed.
As soon as the festival arrived, Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty became the Beijing of the Northern Song Dynasty. Looking around, the east wind has urged the flower lanterns of one tree and one tree, just like the stars in the sky are blown down by the wind, like ten thousand drops of crystalline water sprinkled on the night sky. On this beautiful night, countless tourists came riding BMW carving cars, and the moving sound of phoenix pipes drifted in with the wind. The moon is as clean as water, the long dragons and flying fish in the streets dance endlessly, and the women with moths, snow willows, and golden wisps embedded in their hair are laughing in a gust of incense.
The lone lyricist has a beautiful person hanging in his heart, and he has no trace of it. Under which tree is she watching the lamp guess, or is she huddled in the crowd admiring the Ichthyosaur lantern? The lights and shadows were messy, the shadows were longing, and he looked around, afraid that he would miss her if he was not careful.
The encounter between people is sometimes really inexplicable, thousands of turns, not one step earlier or one step later, all by chance. As soon as Xin looked back, she appeared in his field of vision—the sparse lights were intertwined and faint on her face. In this noisy and bustling crowd, she is like the moon in the sky, quiet and quiet.
In ancient poetry, many works have been passed down through the ages because of a certain word or sentence. This "Qingyu Case", the most widely known is probably the last sentence of this poem: the crowd is looking for him for a thousand hundred degrees. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dimmed.
It was written by Mr. Wang Guowei in the "Words and Sayings of the World", which is used to describe the third level of Liye Zhixue, that is, the highest realm: to be a scholar, you must have a spirit of concentration, after thousands of hardships and repeated pursuits, what was originally out of reach will suddenly penetrate.
There are also people who are clouded, and the woman who is willing to be lonely in the light of the light is actually the embodiment of Xin Ren's ideal.
The charm of classics lies in the fact that it can transcend the shackles of time and space and trigger the emotional resonance of many people.
When Xin was born, it had been a full thirteen years since the "Shame of Jingkang". In the occupied area of Jinan, his grandfather Xin Zan gave him this very profound name. Abandon diseases, grow healthily, and do not invade all diseases. Perhaps, it must also be relatively commensurate with "going to the disease" - he can later recover the lost land like the famous Han Dynasty general Huo Qiyi.
At the age of fourteen, he accompanied his grandfather to draw the country, explore the terrain of the Golden Kingdom, make a top-secret road map, and plot the great cause of restoration.
At the age of twenty-two, he raised the banner of resistance against gold and raised more than 2,000 rebels.
At the age of twenty-three, he returned to the south and led more than fifty loyal and righteous troops to capture traitors alive in a camp of 50,000 gold, shocking the government and the opposition.
At the age of twenty-six, he pointed out the country and the mountains, talked about the division and integration of the world, and wrote the military astonishing chapter "Ten Treatises on Meiqin". He was really a generation of handsome courtiers, and he had already anticipated the inevitable demise of the Jin Dynasty, and had also deduced the way to save the Southern Song Dynasty.
At this age, it was a few years older than the god of war Huo Fu, and compared to Yue Fei's thirty-four-year-old festival, he had a lot of time to gallop on the battlefield.
But the battlefield he longed for the most never appeared again.
Like Jin Yong's Qiao Feng, he is an "reformed person" who is not trusted. Forty-three years after his return to the south, he remained in the position of various local officials, and was frequently transferred by the imperial court thirty-seven times in more than twenty years, and then abandoned for a full twenty years. "But the ten thousand words of flat strategy, in exchange for the owner to plant tree books", the former pride can only be buried deep in the heart.
But he never gave up on his dreams, "The boy's heart is like iron." Look at the test hand, make up for the cracks in the sky", he became a flying general in the altar of words, an iron horse and a tiger.
At the age of sixty-four, Han Nongxu initiated the Northern Expedition, and Xin Was given another opportunity to present his views on the Jin Dynasty to the emperor.
Eighty-year-old friend Lu You personally came to practice for him, these two Southern Song Dynasty poets with deep patriotic feelings, old eyes, but full of hope.
"Honest and old, can you still eat?" Xin abandoned the disease and went out of the mountains, and in Zhenjiang, he still did his best, although he was still impeached and dismissed.
The hero is happy, and the hero is always affectionate. If the hero's affection cannot sprinkle the rivers and the sun and the moon, then it will be put into good government and landscape and pastoral.
There are no more than two kinds of heroes in the world, one is perfect to the extreme, no longer like mortals; the other is to pursue a lifetime, ending in failure, but with sadness and frustration, bitterly persevering. Xin shuyi belongs to the latter. Temporary sadness is only the shell of his life, and the eternal pride is the core of his life.
It is no wonder that the women who are not prosperous and willing to be lonely in the light of the lights are actually the ideal of Gao Miaoqing who does not follow the tide.
How can anyone who is affectionate not move?
However, "Sub-fish, anzhi fish pleasure", we are not Xin ren disease, he has not explained the emotions, we can not determine and penetrate. Tonight, in the lantern light, it is better to simply interpret it as the first sight of meeting a confidant.
The crowd looked for him a thousand times, and when you looked back, you would be thrilled, right?
