Rain Festival, Appreciation of Liu Chenweng's "Seven Absolute Rainy Seasons"

Appreciation

This is a rain festival poem by liu Chenweng, a great poet of the Song Dynasty. The rain festival has three seasons: "one waits for the otter to sacrifice the fish; the second waits for the wild geese to come; and the third waits for the grass and trees to sprout." ”

From the rain, the rivers and rivers break through the ice, the otters begin to fish and place on the shore like sacrifices; five days later the geese begin to fly back from the south to the north; in another five days, the grass and trees begin to sprout, and the earth springs back.

In the poem, "the wind chases the snow" and "the water sends ice to break the ice", it is said that the natural phenomenon of rain and three weathering, spring has been called to us not far away.

It is worth mentioning that the twenty-four solar terms are calculated according to the sun's history, not the lunar calendar.

In ancient times, climate and solar terms were two words, not one word. Qi is qi, weather is weather, and festival is festival. Generally, five days are one wait (seventy-two days), three days are one breath (twenty-four qi), and three qi are one verse (eight knots).

Rain is the most important thing. It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, which means that everything germinates in spring and needs the moisture of rainwater, and rain at this time is timely rain. The seeds sown, moistened by the rain, will grow in spring and summer, and will not miss the agricultural time. Rainwater, no matter how much rain falls in winter, it is not useful in spring, which conforms to the natural law of spring spring.

The shepherd boy pointed to a question, which could not help but remind people of Du Mu's poem "The shepherd boy remotely refers to the apricot blossom village", a shepherd boy pointing to the spring map, jumping on the paper, let people feel the strong sense of spring.

During the rainy season, may everyone walk on the rhythm of spring, lie down at night and get up early, walk widely in the court, and wear a slow hair shape, so that Zhisheng can live and do things in accordance with the qi of heaven and earth.
