The most beautiful hometown month in autumn

The most beautiful hometown month in autumn

□ Luo Bingchong

  One night when the autumn wind rises, the hometown wakes up in the clear morning light.

  This season, nature's enthusiastic brush can't help but go crazy, and when you look at it, golden, vermilion, dark purple, gray-green... Intersecting and merging, the heavens and the earth are rendered into a colorful picture.

  Autumn is joyful, after a season of cultivation and waiting, "like to see the rice and a thousand heavy waves", finally in exchange for the full home, Yingche Jiasui; autumn is also sad, the north geese fly south, the fall of wood XiaoXiao, "since ancient times autumn sad and lonely", the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang is most likely to make people miss the intestines, full of sorrow. Perhaps because of this, autumn is more worthy of retention and cherishing.

  Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, thinking of the times, sweeping the grave and worshipping the ancestors is undoubtedly the most solemn activity of our family. We have always regarded this as an important task of honoring the ancestors and respecting the ancestors, respecting the ancestors, honoring the family, uniting and helping each other, and emphasizing filial piety and promoting honesty, without interruption. At present, the ancestral tomb sweeping of our Yuzhangtang Luoshi Wumei Sect has been passed down to the thirty-first generation, and since this generation (except for female dependents), it has a share. Due to the large size of the family, each tomb sweeping sacrifice activity is led by a house of brothers, who take turns to perform the main sacrifice. The infirmary, who is the turn of the chief priest, often treats this activity as a glorious and sacred task. If there is no special reason, the tribesmen in the north and south of the sky will put aside the things at hand and return to their hometowns for reunion.

  This year, due to the epidemic, many relatives from other places have not been able to return to their hometowns, but it will not affect the normal progress of tomb sweeping and ancestor worship activities. At this moment, our ancestor worship team is marching in the autumn wilderness, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the sea of reeds and flowers ripples layer by layer, and from time to time, a few unknown wild birds are startled, breaking into the sky and turning into jumping notes.

  In every grave in the wild, we must carefully weed, clean, clean the drainage ditch, and then light incense candles, press the hanging paper, put on the offerings, prostrate one by one according to the generations, lay wine, sprinkle salt, burn paper, and set off cannons, and the ceremony will be over, and then we will wade through the mountains and waters and move to the next place. Finally, they gathered at the Luoshi Splendid Cemetery to hold a solemn sacrifice ceremony. In the evening, everyone gathered together in a lively way, drank tomb wine and discussed family affairs.

  In the process, the elders always reminisced about the things of their predecessors from time to time. They talked about the ancestor of Yuzhang and the great si nong Luozhu of the Early Han Dynasty, who was not tolerated by the traitors because he was just and righteous, and later served as the Taishou of Yuzhang, planting pines and cypresses to show discipline. Speaking of Luo Daxiang, who was of the nineteenth generation, he was endowed with wisdom and was proficient in the history of scriptures, and he participated in the temple examination but fell on the list but had a favor for Pei Yingzhang, and then Pei Yingzhang was personally through Liancheng province, turning a blind eye to the county order and others, and paying tribute to Luo Daxiang as a farmer, and there was a good news of "small Liancheng County, Great Wenheng Province". Speaking of Luo Chen's ancestor Luo Rou, at the end of the Song Dynasty, he avoided chaos and traveled to Longyan and entered the Family of Chen Shikui, because the Chen clan had no heirs to inherit the industry, with Rou as the son, And Luo Rou worked hard and did not forget the family business, he assumed the surname of Chen and did not forget the ancestors, so it was agreed that the surname of the surviving generations of those who were alive was Chen not surnamed Luo, and after death the tomb was engraved "Luo surname", which is the origin of "Yang Chen Yin Luo". There is also the early death of his relative Luo Shikui's loving mother, in order to make the sixty-year-old father have a warm life again, he is determined to marry his father and add a brother to show his filial piety...

  More recently, I will also talk about my grandfather, whom I have never met, who is an industrialist and businessman, honest and proud, diligent and frugal in life, but often saves money and is helpful, and has left a very good reputation. Speaking of my great uncle, he was generous to his duty, devoted to his job, conscientious, hard work, and neglected his body for the cause, so that he died young. There is also my mother (the second aunt in the family) and the fourth aunt who died not long ago, they are all models of virtuousness and virtue, worthy of praise by future generations... Although it is small talk, it is the speaker's intention and good intentions, and they hope that by remembering the former sages, they will educate the future generations with reverence, cautiously pursue the long distance, and follow the principle of being a man.

  It was night, and the clan gradually dispersed. Although I was tired after a day's work, my thoughts were difficult and I could not sleep. Leaning on the window, the night is as cool as water, there is no sound, and a round of pure full moon hangs high in the blue sky, cold and lonely. "Today's people do not see the ancient time and month, this month once illuminated the ancients", this scene, I can not forget those deceased relatives, their (her) voice and smile are so familiar, kind, but in the blink of an eye is yin and yang separated, never seen, how to make people not sigh! No wonder the ancients would say: "White grass and yellow clouds are all sorrows, persuade the king to rest on the building!" ”

  Turn on the music, it is the familiar "Half Moon Serenade", those lyrics touch the tip of the heart: "Still leaning on the sleepless night, looking at the stars in the sky... Man is like the moon in the sky, he cannot have... Why is there only a crescent moon left in my sky... The bright moon is half leaning on the late autumn, my worries, until later..." Unconsciously, my eyes were already hazy.

  Yes, we have thoughts, we have concerns, and we have a future, and life always has to move forward. Although it is said that "since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely", there is the next sentence "I say that autumn is better than spring dynasty". I believe that autumn is not the end of the fallen leaves, nor is it the end of the residual flowers, it is just the dormancy before the budding of the next season, and the nirvana before rebirth. No matter how much suffering and suffering there is in life, there will always be a brilliant sunrise tomorrow. Just because life is short, people who are alive should cherish the present and cherish what they have.

  Thinking about it, my heart is relieved, looking up at the bright moon in my hometown, it is so bright and beautiful... (The author's affiliation is Longyan Big Data Bureau)
