Qingming Festival, named after Qingming, is also known as the Qingqing Festival, the Xingqing Festival, and the March Festival. Originated from the ancestral beliefs and spring festival customs of the ancient times, it has both natural and humanistic connotations, which is both a natural festival point and a traditional festival. It is not only a festival for people to pay homage to their ancestors and remember their ancestors, but also a link for the Chinese nation to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and it is also a spring ceremony for hiking, getting close to nature, and urging new life.
The Qingming Festival has a unique fusion charm, the day or two before the Qingming Festival is the Cold Food Festival, which originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Meson Push was burned on the Jiexiu Mianshan Mountain. Duke Wen of Jin ordered that fire and cold food be forbidden on the day of zi tui's death, and cold food should be used to send mourning. Historically, the two festivals of cold food and Qingming were similar, and over time, roughly in the Tang Dynasty, the cold food festival and the Qingming festival became one. Because of the proximity to the time of the Shangwei Festival, it was also pulled into the republic by the immovable sound, and gradually formed the Qingming Festival as we know it today.
mores
Qingming sacrifice originated from the Cold Food Festival. Chinese always contains a grateful heart, whether it is tomb sweeping or ancestor worship, it is the embodiment of gratitude. Cold food forbidden fire, Qingming new fire, this and tomb sweeping are invariably symbolic of retiring the old and welcoming the new, is the beginning of a new season, a new hope, a new life, a new cycle. Qingming solstice, thinking of the deceased, sweeping the grave to worship the ancestors, thinking of relatives and friends, toasting a few glasses of wine, and how many words can be said to the underground people? But it is true, the grass is thick, the rain is long, the qingming is tearful; the line is slow, the road is long, the eyes are swirling with smoke; the memory is deep, the fist is thought, the face of the deceased is unforgettable; the affection is earnest, the words are thousands, and the concerns of this life are told. Gratitude is the best remembrance and gratitude of the past. Looking at the small grave, we stood outside, looking inside, although it was still sentimental, but it also had a little more relief and comfort.
Qingming went to the grave to the countryside, and in addition to paying homage to the ancestors, he admired the bright spring light as a way to regulate sad emotions. Stepping on the green is also an indispensable custom of Qingming. After the spring equinox and before the Qingming Dynasty, the apricot blossoms on the mountain cannot be finished. Also known as the Qingming Festival, it is a beautiful season to seek spring and chase birds. At this time, when the vitality is exuberant, the yin qi is declining, everything is "spitting out the old and the new", and the earth presents the image of spring and jingming, how can we not go on an outing? The Northern Song Dynasty Chen Hao has a poem, "Mo Cijiu is very persuaded, only afraid of the wind and flowers are red." If the weather is clear and good, you may wish to travel and forget. ”
husbandry
During the Qingming season, the temperature turns warmer, the grass and trees sprout, the weather is clear and clear, and everything is thriving, which is a good season for spring ploughing and spring planting, so there is "before and after the Qingming Dynasty, plant melons and beans." Qingming planted melons, boats loaded into cars pulled. "The proverb. The dry farming in the north and the early and middle rice in the south of the river have entered the suitable season for large-scale sowing, and people have rolled up their sleeves, rolled up their trouser tubes, and rushed to the fields to sow seeds early. North and south of the great river, inside and outside the Great Wall, everywhere is a scene of spring ploughing and busyness. It can be said that "Qingming coincided with the busy time of farming, and the cuckoo sound of cutting wheat was long." Caiyun was busy hanging half the sky, not knowing whether it was sunny or rainy. Spring harvest farmers are busy with rain, and the mountains are full of greenery. ”
