In the ancient people's concept, 108 is a large number that represents perfection, auspiciousness, eternity and profoundness. Putting Qingming on the 108th day after the winter solstice has a deep meaning. The name Qingming is not only due to the clean and clear growth of all things at this time, but also because the sun during this period is also a fresh sun, and the Yang Qi flowing between heaven and earth during this period is also fresh Yang Qi. The editor below brings you the original text and translation of the ancient poem "Qingming". I hope you like it!
"Qingming"
Author: Du Mu
It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival , Pedestrians on the road want to die.
May I ask where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.
Translation of "Qingming"
Drizzle falls one after another during the Qingming Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, and all the travelers on the road are in despair.
Ask the locals where to buy a drink to drown your sorrows? The shepherd boy smiled without answering and pointed to the village deep in the apricot blossoms.
Notes on "Qingming"
Qingming: one of the twenty-four solar terms, around April 5th in the Gregorian calendar. According to old customs, there are activities such as tomb sweeping, outing, and willow planting on that day. The palace regards that day as the Swing Festival. Swings are installed in Kunning Palace and various harems, and the concubines perform swing performances.
One after another: There are many descriptions.
Desperate the soul: Describes the deep sadness, as if the soul is about to be separated from the body. Broken soul: looking miserable and depressed. These two sentences mean that during the Qingming Festival, it rains continuously and continuously; with such weather and such a festival, pedestrians on the road are depressed and confused.
Excuse me.
Xinghua Village: A village deep in the apricot flowers. Today I am outside the gate of Xiushan, Guichi, Anhui Province. Influenced by this poem, later generations often used "Xinghua Village" as the name of the hotel.
