The poems related to Qingming are as follows:
1. "Cold Food on the Way"
(Tang Dynasty) Song Zhiwen.
It will be cold food soon, and it will be late spring on the way.
Poor Jiangpuwang, there are no Luoqiao people.
The North Pole is the master of Ming Dynasty, and the South Pole is the minister.
The broken heart of my hometown is new day and night.
Translation: I spent the Cold Food Festival in late spring on a horse. Unfortunately, looking from the dock on the riverside, I could not see the people coming from Baqiao, Luoyang. Although he was demoted as a subordinate and exiled to the south, his heart still missed the wise king in the north, his hometown and home, a heartbreaking place. After days and nights, new willow branches grew again.
2. "On Qingming Day from Xiwu Bridge to Guayan Village"
(Tang Dynasty) Zhang Ji.
Longmen rain in the late night, and wind in Ruxue in spring.
The road is quiet when birds are chirping, and the flowers are ruining the sky.
Mingyu is ashamed of his generation and imitates the old man in hanging silk.
The old tourists have disappeared, and I feel melancholy in the east of Luocheng.
Translation: The overnight rain in Longmen, Luoyang has gradually stopped in the evening. The arrival of spring has brought constant wind to your cave. Only a few birds were heard on the official road, which made the surrounding area even more quiet. In the gaps between the collapsed walls, a few wild flowers bloomed, decorating the silence here. Now I want to become an official, but I feel ashamed that my talents are not as good as those of my peers at that time. He had no choice but to retreat into seclusion and imitate the carefree old fisherman in the rivers and lakes. The close friends I made in the past are no longer able to meet each other, and I can only wander around the east of Luoyang City with melancholy.
3. "Chang'an Qingming"
(Tang Dynasty) Wei Zhuang.
Fleas hurt spring dreams and rainy days, but the grass is even more vibrant.
The internal officials gave Qingming fire at the beginning, and the prime minister divided the money among them.
The purple streets are hissing and the red ones are barking, and the green poplars are high, reflecting the swings.
Visitors remember the peaceful events and secretly rejoice that the scenery is as good as in the past.
Translation: Suddenly, it is spring with drizzle. Fleas are common in the morning. Mengyu, the silky drizzle of spring. How can the grass be so green? Kekan means unbearable, unbearable, and often modifies relatively strong feelings or other things. This sentence actually means that the grass is very beautiful. The new fire was given to the ministers in the palace. The ancient custom of prohibiting cold food and fire extinguished the fire retained in winter.
At the Qingming Festival, we have to drill wood again to make fire. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty would hold a grand "Qingming Fire Giving" ceremony on this day, giving new fire to his ministers to show his love for his subjects. The ministers had nothing to do, so they played Cuju. Prime minister generally refers to ministers. To play the Cuju game for free, the winner is given money, which is called "free money". When it comes to making money for free, it refers to cockfighting. Personally, I think the first one is accurate.
The horses barked wildly on the road. Red Chibo: Tang Tianbao's six sweat-blooded horses from the Central and Western Regions were named red, purple, green, yellow, lilac, and peach blossom Chibo. Generally refers to a horse. In the green poplar bushes, swings were flying up and down. Paint a Swing: Decorate a beautiful swing. Visitors still remember the grand events of the past in peacetime. Wei Zhuang was born in the late Tang Dynasty, when the society was in turmoil. This scenery is similar to that of the past, which arouses a faint joy in my heart.
