There are still a few days to usher in the Qingming Festival in 2024, which is a festival for the ancients to pay tribute to their ancestors, and it is also the fifth solar term of the 24 solar terms. Qingming solar term is an important festival for people to worship their ancestors and welcome spring in ancient times, in addition to worshiping ancestors, people will also meet family and friends to enjoy a rare spring time together.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, the imperial court would have a holiday, the Tang Dynasty was 3 days, and we are the same now, and in the Song Dynasty, the holiday was changed to 7 days.
Today, I will feel the Qingming Festival of the ancients in the poems.
"Seimei"
Tang Dynasty
During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
By asking where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.
This poem of the Qingming Festival is a very well-known poem, and it will be taken out and recited repeatedly by everyone every year. Whether it is Du Mu's work or not, it depicts the sorrow of pedestrians during the Qingming Festival and the description of the spring scene, expressing people's yearning for a better life.
《Seimei》
Five generations of Feng Yansi
Six curved trunks and green trees,
The willow wind is light, showing the golden wisps.
Who moved the kite to the jade pillar? The petrel flew away in shock.
Full of gossamer and flocculent,
When the red apricot blooms, it rains brightly in a flash.
Sleep and be silent, frightened and have nowhere to find your dreams?
Before you know it, spring is so strong. The wicker has become green, falling flocculent, and when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, it suddenly falls Qingming rain.
When you wake up from a dream, where do you find the unfinished dream?
The poet depicts the scene of twilight to express the mood of the protagonist in the lyrics.
"Drinking on Qingming Day"
宋朝·高翥（gāo zhù）
There are many cemeteries on the north and south hills, and the Qingming Festival sweeps each other.
Paper ashes fly into white butterflies, tears and blood stain red cuckoos.
During the Song Dynasty, the life of the common people was still very good, the Chinese sons and daughters at that time had a strong ability to do business, only relying on a land area of several million square kilometers, it accounted for one-half of the world's GDP, this poem depicts the scene of sweeping the tomb on the Qingming Festival, the paper ash is flying, the tears and blood stain the red azalea, expressing people's sorrow for the deceased relatives.
"Folding Gui Ling, Guest Window Qingming"
Yuan Dynasty Qiaoji
Ups and downs pear blossoms, narrow cable curtains, small window screens.
In front of the emotional lamp, the guest is on the pillow, and the heart is at the end of the world.
Three thousand zhang of sorrowful sideburns, fifty years of spring dreams prosperous.
Suddenly, the willows were smoked and the eaves were raised.
Tight windows and small curtains open up a space for a view. How many gusts of wind and rain have fluttered outside the window, but the pear blossoms are still so dazzling.
I don't need to say the gloomy mood in front of the guest lamp, the sadness of living alone on the pillow, my thoughts always fly far, far away.
Too much sorrow has prompted three thousand feet of white hair hanging down the shoulders, and no matter how long the prosperity is, it is just a flash in the spring dream.
Suddenly, I noticed wisps of smoke rising from the willow trees and climbing up the eaves of the houses.
"The Princes in the Qingming Pavilion"
Ming Dynasty Gao Qi
The new smoke is oblique with the willow forbidden wall, and the apricot cheese is fragrant and vulgar.
There are mountains under the white sky, and there are no guests and no homesickness in Qingming.
Under the tomb of Marquis Bian, the grass is lost, and the flowers are reflected in front of the door of the Lu woman.
I am happy to have the old people to wait for the edict, and I plan to sell spring wine and get drunk in Beijing.
A tree and willow are draped in the light smoke of the new fire, meandering along the official wall, and the aroma of almond porridge is overflowing, and every household feeds each other, and is full of joy. Around the city of Nanjing, the capital city, endless green mountains can be seen as far as the eye can see, and the festival coincides with the Qingming Festival, which makes the guests all deeply miss their hometown. Look at the spring grass on the edge of the Bian Pot Temple, and the former residence of Mo Chou Nu has been covered with falling flowers. Fortunately, there are also the princes in the museum as companions, so you might as well call for a good wine and get drunk.
These ancient poems not only depict the scene of the Qingming Festival, but also express people's deep emotions and memories of this festival.
