The first month of the lunar calendar is also called the first month. Wu Zimu said in "Meng Liang Lu·The First Month", "The first day of the first lunar month is called New Year's Day, and it is commonly known as the New Year." Su Weiwei of the Tang Dynasty wrote in the poem "The Fifteenth Night of the First Month" Description: "Fire trees and silver flowers bloom together, and the iron locks of star bridges open." The first month of the year is also called the Duan Yue. This was because the Qin Dynasty changed the first month to the Duan Yue in order to avoid the taboo of the First Emperor. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Feng Yanzhuan" says: "The beginning of the year brings spring, and all the flowers contain their beauty." The "Kaisui" here also refers to the first month of the lunar calendar.
“The garden is full of spring scenery and cannot be closed, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall.” The red apricot in the poem of Ye Shaoweng of the Song Dynasty is called the Apricot Moon because the flowers bloom in February. And because February is in spring, it is also called mid-spring. "Erya Shitian" said: "The second month is Ru." According to Hao Yi's Xingyi Shuyun: Ru, the meaning of following, all things follow each other, Ru Ru Ru. The second month of the lunar calendar is therefore also called Ruyue.
There are four seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Three months constitute one season. Spring ranks third, so March is called the quarter month. "The peach blossoms follow the flowing water all day long. Where is the hole in the clear stream?" The scenery described by Zhang Xu of the Tang Dynasty was in late spring, with colorful falling flowers, like flowing clouds on a stream, so March was also called Peach Moon. In addition, March is also known as late spring, late spring, silkworm moon, etc.
The fourth month of the lunar calendar is when wheat matures. "Book of Rites·Yue Ling" says: "In the month of Mengxia, wheat autumn arrives." Cai Yong explained in "Yue Ling Chapters" as: "Hundred grains each have their own harvest." When the wheat is first born, it is called spring, and when it is ripe, it is called autumn, so the wheat is called Mengxia. "The month of April is called the wheat month. In terms of seasonal climate, April is the plum rain season, when the plums are yellow and ripe, and the rain lasts for a long time. "Plum Rain" written by Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty says: "The plums are solid to welcome the rain, and the sky is full of late spring." Therefore, April is called the Plum Moon. . Another name for April is Yu Yue. "Erya Shitian" said: "April is Yu." Hao Yi Xingyi Shu said: "Everything in April has branches and leaves, so it is called Yu. Yu means Shu."
The fifth month of the lunar calendar is most commonly used. Also known as Zhongxia, it ranks among summer. The fifth day of this month is the Dragon Boat Festival. In the old days, farmers used calamus leaves and mugwort leaves to hang at the door to ward off evil spirits, so the fifth month was called May. "Erya Shitian" said: "The fifth month is Gao." Hao Yi Xingyi Shu explained, "Gao means the same height and the higher one goes up. In the fifth month, the yin is born, the desire does not go up, and everything is solid. ...." Therefore, May is also called Gao Yue.
"The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus blooms on both sides of the face." "Lotus Picking Song" by Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty. This lotus canopy, which is unstained by mud, brings relief to people in the summer months. It feels cool, so June is called Lotus Moon. It is said in "Yixi Ci" that "the sun and the moon move around, one is cold and the other is hot." There is also a saying that June is called the summer month. In addition, June is also called Jixia, Jiaoyue, Shushu, etc. For example, in the "Book of Rites·Yueling" it is said that "the month of Mengxia is stinky and burnt." "The month of Jixia has moist soil and warm summer weather, and heavy rains occur." < /p>
The first month of autumn is called New Autumn. In ancient times, melons and fruits also matured in autumn, and "rice, grains and beans are harvested in autumn and stored in winter." July was called the melon month. There is a kind of orchid that blooms in early autumn, so July is also called Orchid Autumn and Autumn Moon.
The eighth month of autumn is in the middle, which is called Zhongqiu. "Erya Shitian" says: "August is strong." Hao Yi Xingyi Shu explained, "Strong means great. In August, the yin is strong, and the "Yi" is strong, which means the yang is strong." Therefore, August is called the strong month. "The osmanthus falls in the middle of the month, and the fragrance of the sky floats outside." Song Zhiwen of the Tang Dynasty blew away the fragrance of osmanthus in the middle of the month. What's more, the country folk song sang: "The fragrance of osmanthus comes in August." Folks also call August For Guiyue.
"The young girl Su'e can withstand the cold, and she fights with the beautiful girl in the frost in the middle of the moon." Li Shangyin described the graceful and graceful posture of the goddess Qingnv who is responsible for frost and snow in a wonderful way. Characteristics that can withstand the severe cold test. In addition to Frost Moon, September is also known as Ji Qiu, Chrysanthemum Moon, Decay Moon, etc. Huang Chao's poem "Chrysanthemum" recited: "When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill hundreds of flowers after they bloom. The fragrance reaching the sky spreads through Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor." September is called the decaying moon, although there is no place for it. According to research, it may be because some plants and trees age and wither after winter.
Other names for October in the lunar calendar include: early winter, beginning of winter, dew month, good month, etc. "Erya Shitian" says: "October is Yang." Guo Pu's annotation is: "Pure Yin is used for things, which is too unyang-free, so it is named Xuan." "Book of the Later Han Dynasty·Ma Rong Biography" says: " As for the yangyue, the overcast weather makes all the grass fall. "After the beginning of winter in the countryside, in the old days, weddings and weddings and other weddings were held in the winter. At this time, the harvest has been completed, and it is the time when the farmers are slack, and there are many beautiful places to choose from.
"Book of Rites·Yue Ling": "The midwinter moon is named Chang Yue." Zheng Xuan's annotation is "Chang, still full." Therefore, the eleventh month of the lunar calendar is also called Chang Yue. Kong Yingda also annotated: "It is said that this month is the month of abundance, which should make all things full and not move." Sun Xidan's interpretation is, "Chang, Da Ye. When it is closed, it should be hidden and smooth, so it is called Chang." The moon is said to be against the sky. "In winter, November is also called midwinter according to the sequence. In addition, there are also the theories of Xingyue, Jiayue and Longqianyue, which cannot be tested.
"There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone. I know it is not snow from a distance, because there is a secret fragrance coming." Song Wang Anshi's poem about plum blossoms has combined the stubborn character of plum blossoms in the cold winter with the report that spring is coming. The information is described perfectly. Starting from the Zhou Dynasty, the ancients used the twelfth month of the lunar calendar as the day of the wax festival, where they hunted animals to sacrifice their ancestors. According to "Records of the Years of Jingchu": "December 8th is the twelfth lunar month." Du Fu's poem "The twelfth lunar month" says: The twelfth lunar month is still warm all year round, but this year's twelfth lunar month is completely cold. In the Qin Dynasty, December was designated as the twelfth lunar month, and it was followed later.
Since ancient times, the twelfth month of the lunar calendar has been synonymous with ice and snow, so it is also called the Ice Moon and the Yan Moon.
