Another year of clearing

In the rain at night, I read the Song lyrics and listened to the poetry of the Northern Song Dynasty: "When the Swallows came to the Spring Society, the pears were behind Qingming." After turning over a few pages, I heard a sigh of sighs from the seventh son of Yan Shu: "Dance, smoke, and rain."

?? My heart was shocked, the Spring Society has passed, and the Qingming is coming again.

Unconsciously, we missed the season and missed the memories, leaving only one couplet, wandering in the long hours of the sun: "Winter solstice, frosty eaves, watching snow and snow, white dew. Summer solstice summer day , horror pavilion, hope that the cold and cold is all day clear."

?? The day of worshiping the land god in spring. There is no fixed day, and the times of the Qin, Han, Wei, and Jin are different. Since the Song Dynasty, the fifth day of the Spring Day has been the social day, commonly known as the "Spring Society." "Spring Society" has the distinction of official and private organizations. "Book of Rites. "Mingtang" has the record of the official website: "It is the summer spoon, the autumn taste, the winter 烝, the spring club, the autumn province, and the 遂 遂 in wax, the sacrifice of the emperor." Tang poet Zhang Ji, Wang Jia depicts the civil society The grand scene of "the spring bird in front of the court, the sound of the forest, the red clips and the quilting are not completed. Today, the social day and the needle line, starting from the Zhu Yingshu down." "Sang Yuying oblique spring club scattered, the family helped intoxicated."

Born in the mountains and villages, I have special feelings for the land and the seasons. When enjoying the rich and delicious food, we always remember the virtues of the "land father". In Mianyang, the most solemn "Spring Club" blessing ceremony is the "Spring Club Stepping Bridge" in Lushuiguan, Anxian County. The bridge is called "Taiping Bridge". It was built in the Qing Dynasty for four years. It has a history of more than 200 years. The bridge is a giant single-hole arc frame of more than 20 meters. It is like a rainbow lying on the water. Half a month, the reputation of Changhong under Hutouyan. I don't know when it started, the local people believed that they would come here to step on the bridge on the day of the "Spring Society" day, so that they can eliminate the disaster and pray for peace. Later, this custom was understood by more people and gradually became the most prestigious folk spring club activity in northwestern Sichuan. Every time on the "Spring Society" day, the cauliflower clusters, the firecrackers burst, the tides of people gathered here, stretching for dozens of kilometers, praying for themselves and their families.

?? Contrary to the "Swallows come to the Spring Society", the "Pear Blossoms are clear and clear" is seemingly deserted.

?? Qingming is both a solar term and a festival. It is also called the March Festival in ancient times and has a history of more than 2,000 years. "All things grow at this time, they are clean and clear. So it is clear." After the Ching Ming Festival, the rain increased, everything turned from yin to yang, and spit out the new, a scene of spring and Jingming. Qingming originally had a happy festival, and Beichuan, the hometown of Daxie, has always had the success of “Qingming” He Zhishui, and the villagers rushed to tell each other and celebrate the world’s peace. From the Tang Dynasty, "Qingming" gradually became synonymous with the spring tour, and the inheritance of the past became a habit. At this time, people have stepped out of the outdoors, going out, going out, swinging, playing football, playing polo, inserting willows, tug-of-war, fighting chicken... It’s fun. The children love the most, they must fly kites. Some kites also contain bamboo flutes. When the wind blows, they can make a sound, like the sound of a kite. It is said that the name of the kite is like this.

In the eyes of modern people, the connection between Qingming and the memorial service is even closer. This is because the day before Ching Ming Festival is the Cold Food Festival. The cold food was passed down from the Jinwen Gong dynasty. Later, Emperor Xuanzong was moved by this story. In the 20th year of Kaiyuan, he ordered the world to "cold on the tomb" and was listed as one of the "five rituals" at that time. Cold food and Qingming are only one day apart. For the sake of the map, people simply decided to sweep the tomb in Qingming. When the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Qingming grave was more popular. After the founding of New China, people also chose to worship the tomb of the martyrs on this day and remember the revolutionary ancestors.

?? "The annual sacrifice of the tomb of the ancestors, there is still the wind of the elderly everywhere." Mianyang has always had the habit of sweeping the tomb, every "Qingming", the descendants of every family will carry wine, fruit, paper money, firecrackers, etc. to the graveyard, will The food is sacrificed in front of the ancestors' tomb, and then the paper money is incinerated, the guns are prayed, the new soil is planted for the grave, a few flowers are planted or a few new branches are inserted in the grave, and then the gongs are worshipped, and finally, they must be in front of the tomb. Eat the food and go home.

?? In 2008, "Qingming" has become a statutory holiday in a long-awaited call. However, there are still many different opinions on the interpretation of "Qingming". In these two days, the famous scholar and the ancient Chinese verse expert Xiong Wei also called for the original "clear face". In the view of Xiong Wei, according to the "Book of Rites", "the month of Zhongchun, the men and women, the singer can not help", the Ching Ming Festival should be a good time to promote men and women to talk about love. ”

?? Xiong Wei said that in the Ching Ming Festival, young men and women are most suitable to go to the waterside to relax, rowing and playing, and even to the wild to talk about love. However, Xiong Wei did not say, what should I do for middle-aged and older people?

?? I think, or do what you like, such as walking, sweeping the tomb, worshiping the ancestors, and saving the family.
