Cold food is a seven-character quatrain written by Han Yi, a poet in Tang Dynasty. The first two sentences describe the scenery during the day, describing the charming spring scenery and the scenery of catkins flying and falling red in the palace garden in Chang' an city; The last two sentences are about the night scene. Although fire is forbidden in the Cold Food Festival, favored officials can get candles specially given by the emperor, and light smoke fills the air at home.
The poem is full of intoxication of the imperial city's spring scenery and praise of prosperity and tranquility, and at the same time it implies euphemistic irony. The whole poem is mainly about scenery description, realistic line drawing, rigorous structure, multiple turns, implicit brushwork and profound meaning.
Cold food: the name of the festival, one or two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day in the lunar calendar. Chronicle of Jingchu in Liang Zonggu of the Southern Dynasties: "One hundred and fifty days after the winter festival (that is, the winter solstice festival), there was a heavy rain, even rain, which was called cold food." Cold food is in March, and spring is strong. According to the ancient custom, the fire was forbidden for three days before and after cold food, which is said to commemorate the retreat of doctors in Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period.
According to legend, meson tui assisted Jin Wengong and Zhong Er, and lived in seclusion in the mountains after returning home. Jin Wengong burned the mountain and forced him out. The meson pushed the tree and died. In memory of him, Jin Wengong forbade Jietui to make a fire and cook on the day of his death, and only ate cold food. The latter phase follows the custom, which is called "cold food and no fire". Or the old system that the cloud banned fire for several weeks had nothing to do with the death of meson tui. The title of the poem is "Cold Food Festival is a Thing".
About the author:
Han Yi, a scholar in Tianbao 13th year, was a calligrapher in China.
Among the top ten talents in Dali, Han Yi and Yi Li are probably the two most famous. This is not because of their literary attainments, but because they are all famous figures in legend. See Tai Ping Guang Ji (Volume 4) Wu Xu Yaozuo's Liu Chuan.
Han Yi's poems were light in brushwork and unique in scenery, and were widely read at that time. Poems are mostly written in farewell songs, such as Poems of Han Junping and Poems of the Whole Tang Dynasty, in which three volumes of his poems are recorded.
Nine times out of ten, Han Yi's poems are farewell poems or chanting poems. It seems that the proportion of such works in other famous works in the Tang Dynasty is not as large as that in his poems. Han Yi is good at making the wish for a pleasant journey light and specific, so that ancient ships and cars seem to have the speed of modern transportation. Qing Zi Hou Yi Xi and Xuanwu Li Mian successively established shogunate.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, his poems were recognized by Dezong and appreciated by Dezong. He was awarded the titles of doctor who took the exam and patent knowledge, and finally became an official in Zhongshu. Han Yi, Qian Qi, Lu Lun and others are known as the Ten Talents in Dali. His poems are full of interest, one after another, which are cherished by the ruling and opposition parties.
