"Spring thunder is a loud sound, and the breeze is blowing in the spring."
When the season came to the sting, there was a faint thunder in the sky, the wind came, the rain came, the spring wind and spring rain baptized the sky blue, and the fields were oily green.
The mother said on the phone: "As the saying goes, the spring thunder startled the insects, and when the sting arrived, the insects in the ditch in the field came out." You come back to Qingqing, I will make you 'fried worms' to eat, crispy and fragrant, eat 'fried worms' do not invite insect bites! ”
Mother said to eat "fried insects" is one of the customs of the hometown sting festival, that is, fried beans, fried rice, stung eating "fried insects" has a beautiful meaning, looking forward to no pests in the field, wind and rain, grain abundance; pray that people will not be disturbed by mosquitoes, peace and security, health and health!
Sting, also known as "enlightenment", is the third of the twenty-four solar terms and the third of spring. At this time, the yang qi rises, the temperature warms up, the spring thunder moves, the rain gradually increases, and everything is full of vitality.
In the "Explanation of the Seventy-two Waiting Collections of the Moon Order" compiled by Wu Cheng in the Yuan Dynasty, Yun said: "On the February Festival, everything was shocked, and the earthquake was thunder, so it was stung. It was the stinging that flew away. "It means that at this time, the spring thunder begins to sound, awakening all kinds of insects that hibernate in the soil, and the eggs that have survived the winter will also begin to ovate.
The Western Han Dynasty literary scholar Sima Xiang is like the "Sting" Cloud:
Strange on the willow Fang Jingchun, the carp in the pond early shade.
Suddenly hearing the thunderclap of the heavens, the beasts and insects fell to the ground.
Spring thunder awakened everything in the world, the willows in the fields spit spring buds, the fish in the pond chirped into ripples, the birds chirped in the trees, the small beasts in the forest jumped, and the snakes and insects in the cave swam... A vibrant, thriving scene.
The most heartwarming thing about this season is the thunder that looms in the sky. The Eastern Jin Dynasty pastoral poet Tao Yuanming was most touched by this, and in a poem in "Pseudo-Ancient", he described the beauty of Spring Thunder in a humorous tone, the poetry cloud:
When the rain falls in mid-spring, the thunder begins in the east corner.
The stings are terrified, and the grass and trees are stretched.
Flying new swallows, both into my room.
The first nest is still there, and the phase will return to the old residence.
Since coming separately, the courtyard has been deserted day by day.
My heart is hard, what is the king's feelings?
The spring thunder that sounded from the east summoned the verdant and timely rain, and all kinds of hibernating insects heard the thunder and crawled out of the hole; the grass and trees wet by the spring rain opened their hazy sleeping eyes, the branches and leaves stretched out, and nature was full of vitality.
What pleased the poet the most was that a pair of small swallows flew back again, and he could not hide his excitement and asked: "Dear old friend, are you not here unharmed?" Since last year's parting, my family's courtyard has been deserted day by day, but I have been obsessed with you and have always been unswerving, are you in the same mood as me? ”
The spring thunder is called "shock", and the revival of all things is called "sting". In the sting festival, the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty also heard the spring thunder, he wrote: "The sting worm snake comes out, and the grass and trees open up." This is the first spring thunder in my hometown, and the insects and snakes dormant in the thunder are eager to move, and the dead grass and trees are gradually germinating. The Middle Tang Dynasty poet Jia Dao felt a pair of birds that could not be abandoned in the thunder, and he chanted:
The birds are male and female, and the spring thunder is stinging.
The mouth is connected to the yellow river mud, and the sky is soaring.
This pair of birds walked through the blue rain curtain and began to nest in the mud. The thunder of the Southern Song Dynasty poet Fan Chengda's pen prompted so many wonderful things, he wrote in a "Qin Louyue":
Floating clouds, light thunder faintly stung.
The first sting, the wagtail roared, and the green poplar wind was urgent.
Jade stove smoke heavy incense Luo Huo, blowing the wall thick apricot swallow branch wet.
Swallow branches are wet, flower tips are missing, and painting buildings are standing.
Jiangnan season sting, thunder faint, green poplar with the wind, thick apricots blowing the wall, swallow branches heavy color, everywhere showing spring scenery. At the end of the word, "the flower shoots are missing, and the painting building is standing", which makes someone in the scene and the artistic conception is fully alive. Chen Yunping, the poet of the early Yuan Dynasty, pushed open the small window of the mountain house, and a touch of spring scenery came to his face:
The windows are open on all sides, and the wind sends the sea clouds.
A rain of flowers, several stinging thunder.
The thunder was exciting, and it also alarmed the frogs and insects' careful rooms. Ancient artificial characters pay great attention to the will, stupid, spring two insects, the original meaning refers to a large number of hibernating insects, snakes, frogs, toads, etc., in the warm spring to wake up, squirming, the so-called "stupid and stupid" is the most image. Liu Fangping of the Tang Dynasty looked out of the window on the moonlit night in the mountains, improvising:
Deeper moon color half home, big dipper dry south dipper.
Tonight I know that the spring is warm, and the sound of insects is new through the green window screen.
- "Night Moon"
The chirping of insects through the green screen window, flowing in, how fresh and novel and full of life! Zhao Fan, a poet and theorist in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, walked by the pond after being stung, heard several frog drums, and sighed:
The sting has been a few days, and the smell of frogs is at this time.
Can be like a happy wind and moon, do not have to ask the official private.
- "Smell the Frog"
This grunting frog is an ode to spring, and the frogs dressed in green and green sing to the fullest, singing the little blessings in their hearts, so that they do not care about the crap and pickled things in the world. The early Qing Dynasty poet Zha Shenxing said: The sound of frogs comes out of the mountain spring for ten miles. Qi Baishi, a master of Chinese painting in his old age, painted a painting according to this, and the thunder of the sting woke up the small tadpoles in a waterfall and green stream, and they swung their small tails to swim, did the little tadpoles go to find their mothers?
Farmer's proverb: "Nine nine plus one nine, plough cattle everywhere." "When it comes to the Sting Festival, the cultivated land cannot rest." "Spring thunder also woke up the cattle that had been scattered for a winter, and they were about to step on the roaring tune of the cattle and start spring ploughing. The Tang Dynasty poet Wei Yingwu was grateful for the busy agricultural affairs and the hardships of the peasants in Zhongchun, and composed a poem "GuanTianJia", which reads:
The light rain is new, and a thunder sting begins.
The Tian family was idle for a few days, and farming began from then on.
Ding Zhuangju was in the wilderness, and the field garden was also taken care of.
Returning to Jing Changyan, drinking the water of the west stream.
Hunger is not self-suffering, anointing and joyful.
There is no storage for the warehouse, and the servitude is still not over.
Fang Kuo does not cultivate, and Lu eats out of Luli.
Spring thunder, all things long. Since the day of the sting, the peasants have not had "a few days of idleness", getting up early all day and busy with spring ploughing and production, but as a result, they have no overnight food at home, and they also have to bear heavy taxes and servitude. The poet can't help but blame himself for not engaging in farming, but Fenglu is from the township, ashamed and ashamed! Zhang Qi, a Northern Song Dynasty writer and one of the "Four Scholars of Sumen", wanted to dig wild vegetables in the field, but saw that the spring rain was endless and could not travel, and composed a poem and sang:
For a long time, the mustard mustard southern soup, the festival mud is deep and people have not done it.
I want to see the vegetables in the old garden, and the sound of spring water rutting.
——" "February 2st Pick The Vegetable Festival Heavy Rain Can't Come Out"
The last sentence is really beautiful! In the good rainy season, the spring water pond, the sound of rumbling, the vegetable garden in the hometown should be full of vitality and greenery.
Kun Palace thundered in the middle of the night, and the flower house of the stinger was opened.
--Yuan. Qiu Yuan," Sting Sun Thunder
The stinging spring thunder awakened everything in the world, prompted infinite vitality, and should also wake up the dreamer with a thunder! May we hear the thunder, rejuvenate our spirits, stir up our hearts, and compose the glorious poems of life in the prelude of spring!
