The twenty-four solar terms are the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people to ask the heavens.
Astronomy, agriculture, phenology and folklore, spring ploughing, summer cultivation, autumn harvest and winter Tibet, science skillfully combined, and derived a large number of related seasonal cultures.
The harmonious coexistence of man and nature, man and all things, this is Chinese unique aesthetics of time, but also the most simple Chinese romance.
"Moon Order Seventy-Two Waiting Solution": "Li Xia, April Festival." Standing character interpretation see spring. Summer, fake also. Things are false at this time. In astronomy, Li Xia said that he was about to say goodbye to spring, which was the beginning of summer. People are accustomed to regard Lixia as an important festival when the temperature rises significantly, the heat is coming, the thunderstorm is increasing, and the crops enter the peak season.
Standing, beginning, and announcing the beginning of summer. At this time, the hot future of the hot summer, the meaning of spring has not dissipated, everything is brewing vigorously, waiting for the final bloom. The arrival of Lixia seems to be the beginning of the greatest carnival of the year. Crops began to thrive, the grass and trees were shady, the wind was warm, and everything grew up.
Lixia has three marquises.
Wait for the grasshoppers to chirp. It is said that the first thing in this festival can be heard in the field, the sound of summer coming.
Second earthworm out. The abundant rain, moist air and pleasant climate have caused earthworms that have been asleep in the mud for a long time to burrow out, busy helping farmers turn over the dirt.
The Third Waiting King Gua Sheng. The vines of the earth melon seemed to have received a signal, climbing rapidly, and in a short while the branches were sloping and leafy. The wild vegetables in the countryside are also competing with each other to grow day by day.
The sky is warm, the rain is coming, and everything is green.
The spring rains of the past few days have been very painful. Wash away the sand and dust of many days, bringing a bright and bright summer. The summer is coming, and the lotus flowers are small.
Lixia's flowering is to watch the small lotus leaves show their sharp corners, waiting for the buds of the pink lotus to bloom.
The twenty-four solar terms are the wisdom of the ancients to ask the heavens, so there are many "treasures" related to the solar terms in the museum.
The ancients attached great importance to the etiquette of "Lixia", and in the old days, people held a "summer welcome" ceremony during lixia to express their prayers for a good harvest and good wishes.
In the Lanzhou Municipal Museum collection, the "Li Xinzhai Maolin Village Residence Map Banner" painted by Li Xinzhai, a native of Gaolan (present-day Lanzhou City), is a painting with dense jungles by the creek, small bridges and buildings built along the creek. In the distance, the mountains are covered with clouds and mist, and there is a sense of Jiangnan water town, and the green mountains on both sides of the river face each other, and the green trees are dripping green. Look up at the strange peaks to cover the sky, the clear stream under your feet is babbling, and the strange rocks lie on the waves. The beauty of the mountains is completely in the absence of nothing. It was like a floating light veil, and it had obviously turned into a steaming mist.
The grass is green and green, and I begin to look forward to the watermelon-flavored summer night, blowing the coolness of the river breeze.
