Qingming, giving the impression of a wet rain. It was as if with this rain, Qingming could show its faint sadness and slight taste of remembrance.
Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's "Qingming" poem Yun yun : "During the Qingming Dynasty, the rain is pouring, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls, so they ask where the restaurant is?" The shepherd boy refers to the apricot blossom village." This poem very truly reflects the scene and atmosphere of the tomb sweeping at that time.
Qingming Festival, also known as cold food festival, is an earlier festival in ancient mainland China, and the date is similar to that of the Qingming Festival. According to legend, it was established by the Duke wen of Jin to commemorate the loyal and righteous minister Jiezi Tui of the Jin State. In order to commemorate him, when the cold food is eaten, the people will forbid the fire and cold food.
The Tang Dynasty poet Han Hong's poem "Cold Food" vividly describes: "Spring City is everywhere flying flowers, cold food East Wind Royal Willow Slope." Candles were passed down at the Han Palace, and light smoke spread into the Wuhou family. "On the day of the cold food, every household is not allowed to raise a fire to cook, and only in the evening is the candle lit in the palace and the fire is transmitted to the home of the noble relatives.
Throughout the ages, some common and beautiful feelings in human nature have been connected across the seas, and ancient and modern have been connected. Personnel have metabolism, and exchanges have become ancient and modern. The living will always be the deceased. The next generation continues to grow, the previous generation continues to decay, to die, this is the law of biology, the law of nature. Human society continues from generation to generation.
Because of this, the Qingming Festival will become a day that has been passed down for thousands of years; The drizzle of the Qingming Season will come endlessly, which is probably the induction of sorrow in people's hearts.
Worshipping ancestors in the Qingming Dynasty, going to graves, burning paper, sending mourning, and remembering the ancestors of the deceased are traditional Chinese cultures. Since the Yin Shang era, the worship of ancestors has been an important religious belief, and there is another important reason for the worship of ancestors, believing that ancestors can talk to the masters of heaven and earth, is the main medium of contact with the world, and also shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting future generations.
Book of Han . According to the biography of Yan Yannian, even if the Yan clan is thousands of miles away from Beijing, it is necessary to "return to the East China Sea to sweep the cemetery" in the Qingming Dynasty. With the increasingly developed and strengthened ancestor worship and kinship consciousness, tomb sacrifices that were not included in the norms in ancient times were also classified into the "Five Rites": "The house of the scholar should be allowed to go to the tomb, and it is always the norm." "
