July Ryū Tue September Uniform
Legend has it that Qin Shi had a daughter named Meng Jiang,
Married to Fan Xiliang.
The day after the wedding,
Fan Xiliang was arrested to be a strong ding,
Build the Great Wall.
In a blink of an eye, winter is coming,
Meng Jiangnu is worried about her husband's thin clothes,
Unable to withstand the cold,
So he rushed to make winter clothes overnight,
Thousands of miles to the Great Wall.
When it finally arrived,
But I heard that my husband had already died of exhaustion,
No bones were visible.
Meng Jiangnu burst into tears,
Crying dimly, the sun and the moon are lightless,
He actually cried the Great Wall down.
Then, Meng Jiangnu sewed the winter clothes with her own hands,
Burn them all,
I hope my husband is under the nine springs,
Able to receive.
Even if heaven and man are forever,
I also want you to be peaceful, joyful, and fearless.
Spanning life and death,
It's more than a winter coat,
There is also love and longing that cannot be quenched.
Today is the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar,
Winter Clothing Festival.
The Winter Clothing Festival is also known as the October Dynasty and the Ancestor Worship Festival,
It is related to the Qingming Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival,
And became China's three major ghost festivals.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this "ghost" word,
People always keep it secret,
Because it is "unlucky".
Gradually,
It goes along with the Cold Food Festival,
Slowly disappear into our lives.
It has been said that
It's dying.
But what many people don't know is that
Behind the Winter Clothing Festival,
It's not cold and death,
Contrary
It represents love, warmth and longing.
Winter clothing festival has a long history.
In the Book of Poetry, it is recorded:
July Ryu Tue, September Uniform.
It means to say:
Since July, the Great Mars has moved westward,
The weather is getting cooler;
And after September, the chill is even worse,
Women began sewing winter clothes.
Who is the winter coat sewn for?
For parents, loved ones, children...
For the people we care about in this world.
Chinese the simplest love is:
I hope you are well fed and warmly clothed.
A winter coat,
A concern,
All the warmth.
Winter is coming, may you be safe
A moon in Chang'an, the sound of thousands of households pounding clothes.
The autumn breeze blows endlessly, and it is always jade.
Thousands of years ago, Li Bai was under a cold moon,
Listen quietly to the sound of pounding winter clothes.
He was thinking, the autumn wind is blowing,
What can't be blown away,
It's homesickness.
On windy days,
Family sitting idle, the lights are amiable,
Better than the warm spring sun.
If we can't be reunited,
Send a winter coat,
Miss a lot,
It's all in words.
Yao Yi of the Yuan Dynasty once wrote a small order:
"Column Man Sending Clothes"
If you want to send Jun Yijun and don't return it, don't send Jun Yijun and cold.
Between sending or not sending, it is difficult for a concubine to be a concubine.
This is a woman waiting for her husband to return home,
Beloved him is thousands of miles away,
It's getting cold, but it hasn't returned home yet,
Worried that he would suffer from the cold,
I want to send him some winter clothes,
I'm afraid to send winter clothes,
The husband does not return home.
Whether to send or not to send,
Let her make it difficult.
A cold coat, all embarrassments,
A thousand words do not expire in two words:
Reunion.
Liu Changqing wrote:
The hometown is desperate, where to pound the cold clothes?
Nalan Rongruo wrote:
The mandarin tile has fresh frost, and wants to send cold clothes to self-injury.
Wei Yingwu writes:
Qiuzhai lies alone sick, who with a cold coat.
......
So, which is a cold day for the Winter Clothes Festival?
It is obviously full of thoughts and love,
Maybe the longing is bitter,
But behind the bitterness,
Must be deeply sweet.
Chinese love,
Implicit and tactful,
A winter coat,
Words are worth a thousand words.
It spans life and death,
Also through time and space,
Rivers of thousands of years with time,
Flowing slowly,
Today
It still has great and irreplaceable significance.
The attendees will leave one period and one prayer
In the movie "Dream Travel",
There is a very classic line.
It says that a person dies three times in his life.
For the first time, it was the moment of gas breaking,
Biologically,
That's called death.
The second time, it was when the funeral was held.
At this moment,
Your identity in this world,
will be erased.
The third time,
Be the last person in this world to remember you,
At the time of death.
So far, all traces of you in this world,
will all disappear.
Born as a human being, it is always difficult to really get rid of,
Fear of death.
So, when we are afraid of death,
What are you afraid of?
I think
It should be the fear of being forgotten.
the existence of the Winter Clothing Festival,
It's like a bond between the living and the dead.
It tells the living,
As long as you remember,
He won't really leave.
Your thoughts, your care,
He can still sense.
It tells the deceased,
Don't be afraid of death,
You just can't see each other again.
But love is always there.
As in "Loyal Dog Hachiko",
The puppy that waits forever on the platform.
Before, I thought this was called superstition.
Only now do I understand,
As long as the thoughts remain,
Love does not go far,
People who leave,
Will also live forever.
Turn into wind, turn into rain,
Turn into a snow that falls on your shoulders,
A butterfly I met by chance.
Love gives us eternal life.
The attendees will leave and pray one period at a time.
Bring an encounter with everyone,
Think of it as a fate that only happens once in this life.
Accept parting calmly,
Thoughts stretch through the heart.
It's another winter,
Don't forget to greet your loved ones.
It's cold, please add clothes,
Take care of yourself.
The Winter Clothing Festival may be dying,
But the love and longing it represents,
But it will never go away.
May you, too,
Don't let down the love and warmth.
