"The original poetry"

Rains fall heavily as qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits go.

Restaurant where?The shepherd boy pointed apricot blossom village.

Note: "this song poetry circle almost certainly this is a pseudo poem.First, this poem is probably not the tu mu, second, probably not written for the tomb-sweeping day."A researcher at the Chinese academy of social sciences institute of literature ShiAiDong Dr Guest people pointed out that "jin tai hall".

Because at the end of the song poetry originated in the southern song dynasty, made up tu mu a variety of collection in the past, have never seen this poem, the tu mu also don't know how this poem, then out of nowhere, marked the is tu mu (write), the earliest time don't call "qingming festival", is called "apricot blossom village", is actually looking for a person in the ching Ming festival wine to drink, is not a person go to the grave, the in the mind very sad weep tears, not to mention who is the author of this poem, the main is he not go to the grave.Members mainly with wine, meat, offering their own ancestors called "meat", is blessed, ancestors drank the wine, we call "wine", these wine meat is can't afford to waste, must eat, so formed the custom of the tang dynasty to first ancestor worship, and then put the wine meat to eat.If who wrote this poem should carry the wine by yourself, otherwise is counterintuitive.So the song poetry to be sure even tu mu, also not go to the grave.

The tomb-sweeping day is a Spring Festival, in the past there have cold food, have the tomb-sweeping day, in the third quarter, then only be clear, qingming festival brings together all the characteristics of the Spring Festival in the past.Sometimes singing the tomb-sweeping day is singing in the spring, so the ching Ming festival of poetry have visited tragicomic already, also have is pure pleasure, is a large number of poems YouChun joy.

"Poetry appreciation"

First sentence of the poem "as", point out the poet in time, weather and other natural conditions.Tomb sweeping day for the tang dynasty, one of the big festival on this day, or family reunions, or grave tomb sweeping, or outing for an outing, diverse activities.But tu mu in chizhou the qingming festival is not the sun, just "Yin rain embellish like cake", drizzly.

Qingming comes the second sentence "passers-by with lowered spirits go", written by the objective to copy the subjective, rewrite the emotional world of the poet.Pedestrians on the road he saw hanging read, lost heart, BeiSi sad sorrows for themselves.

"May I ask restaurant where" sentence.Poets concerned base, and to the road in the rain, the rain wet clothes, chill.The poet hope for drinking.So he went to ask the way.

Complimentary closure "the shepherd boy pointed almond flowers village", point out the words of the poet in the way of objects, "the shepherd boy pointed" the reader into a front and a new realm of different sad sad, little shepherds keen sweet voice, almond flowers in the distance like brocade, the awaken of spring the branches, the village head wine flag fluttering, true have "steady" the charm of the first two sentences of the poem created a.in sentimental art picture, after two sentences is to create a vivid picture, before or after, contrast, set each other off becomes an interest.Consistent with the pulse of the poet's feelings.

This poem describes the weather characteristics of tomb-sweeping day, express the mood of a journey alone and hope.

Tomb-sweeping day, the weather is changeable, sometimes bright spring, a profusion of garden flowers, sometimes a drizzly, overflow with.First sentence "as" to write the characteristics of "pour rain of fire" (two days before the qingming festival is a cold day, prominence to the fire for three days, at that timeIt rainsKnown as the "pour rain of fire").Qingming comes time "passers-by with lowered spirits go" written on the state of mind."Qingming comes", refers to the inner very.in sad feelings and not exposed.Why the pedestrian to qingming comes?As usual, because the qingming festival is a big festival in ancient China, the family reunion, with grave martyrs, or for an outing YouChun.Now the pedestrian alone, in a strange place, the taste of the in the mind have unpleasant, unluckily caught in the rain, clothes are all wet, state of mind are more.in the fluff.

How to send the thoughts?Pedestrians natural think: had better find a nearby restaurant, relax, avoid shelter;And drink a little wine, solving cold;More major can lend wine to dispel melancholy.So he ask: "restaurant where?"Ask who, there is no point.At the end of the sentence "the shepherd boy pointed almond flowers village" in the word "cowboy", is the subject of the sentences, and added the sentence ask object.The shepherd boy reply with actions instead of words, his fingers pedestrians along the direction, see flowers bloom in a accidentallyalso a red almond trees, vaguely revealed a wine WangZi (ancient hotel logo).How to an abrupt end here, as for pedestrians were called and pleased, excited to catch up with the forward and find a hotel to drink a few cups, won a shelter, cold, deserve to meet, etc., for readers to imagine.

Due to the widespread of the poem, "apricot blossom village" three characters in the later became restaurant allow.

This day is the qingming festival.The poet komori, in the middle of the road was caught in the rain.Qingming festival, although it is all the colors of spring, beautiful spring scenery of the season, but is also easy to climate change, even there is "high wind rain".But the day of rain, is that "Yin rain embellish as crisp" kind of rain, and - which is characteristic of the spring rain.Convey the "rain", the "cold deceives flower, will smoke trapped willow".in and beautiful realm.

The "have" in the nature is no doubt that the artistic conception of spring rain;But it is not so much, it also has a special function, that is, it also described the XingLuZhe mood in the rain.

And look at the following sentence: "qingming comes passers-by with lowered spirits go.""Passers-by", the travelled man is away from home.What is "qingming comes"?In poetry, "soul" means mostly mental and emotional aspects of things."Qingming comes", is trying to describe the sort of very strong, but not understand in the deep hidden feelings outside.In ancient customs, ching Ming festival is a big color emotional appeal is very strong holiday, what was supposed to be a family reunion, or pleasure, or grave grave;Now alone on pedestrian, touch base scene, the taste of my heart are complex.Unluckily catch up with the rain, all wet spring unlined upper garment, it adds a layer of melancholy.Thus the poet with the word "qingming comes";Otherwise, a little bit of rain, is worth "qingming comes", that is not very well?- in this way, we can back to the "to" two characters.Originally, the season on the road, there have been a lot of heart, plus a body in the rain the wind, have spread, Zan line in the rain, the mood of doubly.in the fluff.So, describe spring rain in succession, but also describe emotions, - even might as well say, describe the spring rain, in order to describe the mood.This is China's classical poetry mood in the scene, the scene is a wondrous love, a scenic spot.

The preceding two sentences handed the scene, and then write a pedestrian at this moment in a thought: where it is good to find a small hotel.Thing is clear: find a small hotel, relax, shelter, and small drink three cups, solving chill in spring, warm wet clothes, - that is the most important thing to also can spread heart sad sorrows for themselves.So, who to ask for directions.

Ask who?The poet didn't tell us in the third sentence, not clever in the fourth sentence: "the shepherd boy pointed almond flowers village".In grammar, "cowboy" is the subject in this sentence, but it was again on the words of "may I ask" object - which make up the words of the two sides on both sides of a question and answer.The boy answer?We don't know, but with "action" for the answer, in strong than answer.We read the play small cattle, when someone ask cowboy elder brother, he will hand a finger, said: "you to follow my hand look!"Is even answer to take action - is "music" and "image", both are earned the viewer a beautiful enjoyment;Now the poet technique is more simple, more advanced: he will only give readers "picture", and eliminate the "music", - no, than include the "music".The readers appreciate the beauty of a guiding "picture", at the same time also faintly heard the answer of "music".

"Remote", literal meaning is far.Yet here do not hold the righteousness.This means, has been made as we see, faintly accidentallyalso a red almond clumps, pick a wine shop sign - clearly WangZi "wine".If really far away, it will be difficult to contact art, if really is just around the corner, the lost of endless fun again: is clever between not nearly not far away.In one of the grand view garden in "a dream of red mansions" she questions as "apricot shade in sight," that "in sight" expression, it is from here to feel off, just as Du Lang this sentence as a footnote."Apricot blossom village" is not necessarily true villagers, does not necessarily means that restaurant.It only takes that refers to the depth of this beautiful apricot blossom village is enough, it goes without saying that there is a small hotel in waiting for the reception guests walking in the rain.

Only wrote about "pointed almond flowers village" is an abrupt end, not more.How the remaining, pedestrians were called that pleased, how Zan to work harder, how excited to find a hotel, how happy to get a shelter, deserve two aspects of satisfaction and pleasure...That, the poet can "whatever".He put all of these give the reader's imagination, for the reader to develop a far wider than poem language words shows more room for imagination.This is the art of "more than not.

This little poem, a hard words also have no, a story also need not, the whole piece is very popular language, write freely, there is no business of mark.Syllables very fulfilling, sight is very pure and fresh, vivid, and beautiful, fun en jump.Poems by law article speak naturally, is the order way.First statement account situation, environment and atmosphere, is the "up";The second sentence is "bearing" and write the characters, shows the character of.in troubled state of mind.The third sentence is a "turn", but also put forward how to get rid of this state of mind;And this is forced out of the fourth sentence directly, as the exciting part of the whole paper - "close".In art, which is by the low and high rise gradually, the culmination in the final.So-called culmination, the but again not take in everything in a glance, less popular completely, but finish following, intriguing.These, all is the brillant part that the great poet, is also worthy of our learning inherited place!!!!

The tomb-sweeping day

[song] huang tingjian

Festival tomb-sweeping plum laugh, noda abandoned grave authigenic sorrow.Ray extra snake stung, gentle rain fa jiao the original vegetation.

People begging for offering more arrogant concubine, and gansu consumes death even.There thousand years know who is that with basil, a mound.

Said the meaning of the poem is, tomb-sweeping day, heart Wan Jun, wake up, all things of the universe brought vitality to the earth.Spring rain, make the earth a circle in, peach blossom.Noda desolate place, and was buried in the cemetery of the dead, dead people are buried underground, living in the mind feel sad.The poet by the beauty of the clear thinking of the dead, from death thought about life, think of the meaning of life.The poet said, life is different.In ancient times a person every day to the shrine of family meals, the graveyard steal to eat others eat greasy face of nozzle.Back home, but also lied to his wife and concubines, he is in a great friend's home to eat and drink, how hospitable to his master.This person's life Withers its humble, no dignity.Other coats, such as the spring and autumn period and the warring states era of jie zitui, after the founding of the people he has helped the state, not top thick the importance, rather than in the mountain seclusion.Duke wen wanted him to come out a few, ordered set fire to the mountain.But, jie zitui its unshakable will, have burn to death in the continous mountain tree.Huang tingjian by the clarity of wild flowers in full bloom of the deceased, think about the values of life.He sighs, although in any wise fool, finally is covered artemisia a mound, but the meaning of life is different.

This is the poet want work, passes by comparing technique, elicits the impermanence of life lamented.The first league to tomb-sweeping day filled with laughter and abandoned grave sorrow make contrast, reveal to the world heartless sigh.Duplex pen, show the rebirth of nature, is behind with two couplet eyeful basil barren hillocks, constitutes a sharp contrast.From tomb-sweeping day thought of qi people begging, from cold food smoking thought of jie zitui burn to death, no matter there, in the end is a pile of loess.The poet saw a vitality of nature, the thought is in the world cannot escape the fate of death, is an expression of negative nihilistic thoughts, sad emotion in between the lines.The political obstacles and poets life and his strong influence of zen thought is inseparable.But work reflects the author's life value orientation and flay the evils in life, seems to be negative, but it is cool.

Ching Ming festival origin

Ching Ming festival is a traditional Chinese folk important festival, it is important to "open" (of summer has, qingming festival, Mid-Autumn festival, the dragon-boat festival, the yuan, and the winter solstice and the New Year's eve).Usually in the Gregorian calendar April 5, but the festival is very long, there are eight days and 10 days before the 10th day ten two versions in the future, the nearly 20 days are tomb-sweeping day.

The origin of the qingming festival, reportedly began in ancient Kings and princes "MuJi", later folk also follow, in this day ancestor worship, mourning ages follow and become a fixed custom of the Chinese nation.Originally, cold food and tomb sweeping day are two different festivals, in the tang dynasty, will be the day of worship grave as cold food.Cold days is one hundred and five days after the winter solstice correctly, about before and after the tomb-sweeping day, for the day, so will the tomb-sweeping day two combined into one day!

In front of the tomb ancestor worship, mourning the custom origin is very early in China.As early as the western zhou dynasty when the burials, attaches great importance to.(the warring states period "mencius · person article also mentioned a sneer at by the known JiGuoRen, often to a surname with begging the grave tomb offerings, ethos is visible in the warring states period of mourning.In the tang dynasty, the letter to pronounce well grave at that time, "one of the five rites", so every tomb-sweeping day comes, "the field road, is full aspects, yamen runner gai, all parents grave."(liu zongyuan and xu JingZhao book) grave became important social customs.

And in some cold spring, to the fire to eat cold food, afraid of some of the old women and children to resist the cold resistance, in order to prevent the cold food buffet also killed the cat, so he settled for an outing, outing, swing, play football, play polo, inserted liu, tug-of-war, chicken and other outdoor activities, let everybody come out in the sun, exercise, increase resistance.Therefore, qingming festival, besides the ancestors grave and outdoor fitness activities, make this holiday, in addition to the ShenZhongZhuiYuan sentimental feelings, also is a blend of joy enjoy the atmosphere of the spring;Both sad and bitter tears shenglisibie, and there is a school of pure and fresh and bright and beautiful vivid scenes.It is really a very characteristic, very special holiday.Qingming festival martyrs of tombs is vulgar and mortuary practices related to the pitch.According to the load, the ancient tomb "and not grave", that is to say only play, yielded not built the grave-mound, and martyrs are not for load.Later, and grave tomb of the martyrs common have rely on.Qin and han dynasties era, MuJi has become a indispensable custom activities.

Han shu. YanYanNian biography, kindred even if Beijing li will in qingming festival "also return to the east China sea grave".It developed the Chinese ancestor worship and the sense of kinship, strong, YanYanNian is reasonable.So the later the ancient MuJi not included in the specification are classified as five rites: "family of ordinary, appropriate on xu's tomb, into five, a routine forever."Get the official affirmation, MuJi wind is big.

Due to the tomb-sweeping day and two days, and folk fire ban cold food is tomb-sweeping day, gradually, cold food and clarity is close 2 for one, and cold food became not only clear and nickname, also become a custom for the tomb-sweeping day, tomb-sweeping day fireworks, only eat cold food.One of the 24 solar terms.In April every year four or five, six, folk grave in this period.

Due to China's vast areas in the day of the tomb-sweeping day ancestor worship, the custom of the grave, outing, gradually evolved into Chinese to commemorate ancestors grave, worship and other forms of a Chinese traditional festival, in the air and spring, generally for 106 days after the winter solstice, cold the day after.Grave activities can continue after the first ten days or so.

Ching Ming legend

The Chinese traditional tomb-sweeping day began about the zhou dynasty, has a history of more than two thousand five hundred years.Clear at the beginning is a very important solar term, the tomb-sweeping day arrived, and rising temperatures, it is spring spring a good season, reason has "melon seeds before and after the tomb-sweeping day, kinds of beans".Qingming festival ", "afforestation, the farmer's proverb.Later, due to the tomb-sweeping day and cold food day approaches, and folk fire ban cold food is tomb-sweeping day, gradually, cold food and clarity is close 2 for one, and cold food became not only clear and nickname, also become a custom for the tomb-sweeping day, tomb-sweeping day fireworks, only eat cold food.

On the cold food, there is such a legend:

According to legend the spring and autumn period and the warring states era, duke xian of male concubine le ji to make his own son, he ascended the throne, prince xiqi of jin is a deadly trap against prince prince shensheng of jin, prince shensheng of jin was forced to suicide.The younger brother of prince shensheng of jin chong 'er, in order to avoid evil, exodus.In exile, chong 'er suffered humiliation.Original phraortes fled thence followed him along the retainer, mostly after another way out their own way.Only a handful of loyal person, always follow him.One of them named jie zitui.On one occasion, chong 'er hungry faint.Jie zitui to save chong 'er, cut a piece of flesh from his leg meat, roasted with fire gave chong 'er to eat.Nineteen years later, chong 'er back home to do the monarch, is the spring and autumn period and the famous five bully is one of the state.

After the state power, to those who share the joys and sorrows with him continually been raised, and forgot jie zitui.Someone in front of the faithful to jie zitui cry foul.Duke suddenly remembering the past, guilty, immediately sent meson, please push toward an official who.But, sent a few trips, jie zitui not to come.The state had to close to please.However, when the state to jie zitui home, saw the door shut.Jie zitui don't want to see him, has been back to the old mother hid in continous mountain (now southeast shanxi jiexiu county).Duke gave his body-guard continous mountain search, didn't find it.Hence, someone out of the idea, and said, be inferior to set fire to the mountain, the ignition on three sides, with the left side,The fireWhen jie zitui might come out of yourself.Duke wen is ordered for fire mountain, what burned for three days and three nights, after the fire, will see meson.Up the mountain a look, jie zitui hold a big willow burning in both mother and son is dead.Duke looked at jie zituiThe bodyCry a, and then buried bodies, jie zitui found back wall with a willow tree hole, the hole seems to be something.Took a look, turned out to be a flap, the above problem a blood poem:

Cutting in your steps, I wish the tetrarch temperamental predominance.

Under the willow ZuoGui eventually disappear, indeed the suggestion I accompany you.

If master heart have me, have I regularly.

Minister in jiuquan heart clear conscience, industrious tomb-sweeping day after the tomb-sweeping day.

Duke wen hid bloodletter into the sleeve.Then push the meson and his mother were buried in the charred under the big willow tree.In memory of jie zitui, duke wen ordered the continous mountain is changed to "lie mountain", building ancestral temple in the mountain, and set fire to mount this day as the cold food, spoke to the nation, every year this day taboo fireworks, only eat cold food.

Walking, he cut a piece of burning in the willow, the court made a pair of clogs, looked at it every day sigh a way: "sad indeed the first step.""First step" is mutual respect between the ancients to supervisor or peers at a lower level, it is said that is derived from this.

In the second year, the state took the princes and white clothing hiking festivals, condolences.To the grave, I saw the old willow resurrection of the dead tree, green branches, one thousand, playing with the wind.Duke looked at the resurrection of the old willow, like saw jie zitui.He walked to the front of respect and cherish to choke the branch, made up a circle on the head.Martyrs, after the state given the resurrection of the old willow called "qingming festival", and to this day as the tomb-sweeping day.

After wandering around bloodletter sleeve, often as a spur his motto.His diligent clear, hard, take good governance.

Since then, the state of jin people to live, to active the jie zitui missed, not with a silver spoon in her mouth.On the day of his death, people forbid fireworks to represent the honor.Also with flour and the jujube paste, molded into the swallow, with willow strung together, put on the door, calling his soul, it is called "the push of yan" (jie zitui also push for interface).Since then, the cold food, qingming festival has become the people of the country's grand festival.Whenever the cold food, people that don't make a fire to cook, only eat cold food.In the north, people eat only prepared cold food such as jujube cake, wheat cake;In the south, more for green group and glutinous rice sugar lotus root.Each year, the tomb-sweeping day, people put wicker rings to wear on her head, the insert willow branches, behind the house to show his miss.

Qingming festival is characterization of phenology solar terms, it's sunny, lush.As the saying goes: "snow, grain rain frost."Up to the tomb-sweeping day, south China climate is warm, the awaken of spring is thick.You have cold air invasion in the before and after the tomb-sweeping day, but still, even for 3 consecutive days or more lower than the average daily temperature 12 ℃, cause middle-season rice LanYang and early rice seedlings death, so rice seeding, ZaiCha warm tail cold head to avoid.In the northwest plateau, livestock through the winter and the influence of the lack of forage, resistance is weak, need to keep a strong cooling after spring weather the harm of old and young."As", is a famous tang dynasty poet tu mu of jiangnan spring rain.

But in terms of some areas, and this is not the case.Especially in the south China in spring drought period, early April rain only in 10 to 20 mm, less than half of the jiangnan area.Although spring rains in south east more, but early April 20 to 40 mm rainfall in general, however, also don't apply the agricultural production of natural precipitation need water supplement must also rely on years ago.In addition, may and June is hail the most in a year, should strengthen the defense of hailstorm.
