The people attach great importance to the Qingming Festival and people's hearts are concerned about the country
- Thoughts on the Qingming Festival
? "On the Qingming Festival, the peaches and plums smile, and the wild fields and graves are filled with sorrow. Thunder shocks The heaven and earth are stung by dragons and snakes, and the rain is enough to soften the grass and trees in the suburbs." Tomb-Sweeping Festival is one of the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar. It is a day for us to worship our ancestors. Sacrifice on Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional custom of the Chinese nation. The ancients called this season "all things grow at this time and are clean and bright, so it is called Qingming." period".
"Qingming" was originally one of the twenty-four solar terms in the Chinese calendar. The festival falls around April 5 of each year in the Gregorian calendar. It is called "Qingming" because "everything grows at this time, clean and bright." For "Qingming". Qingming is closely related to agricultural production and is an important symbol of the arrival of spring plowing season. "Tangli flowers reflect the poplar trees, which is the place where life and death are separated." When mentioning "Qingming" today, most people directly think of offering sacrifices, sweeping tombs, and remembering. The custom of offering sacrifices and sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival comes from the "Cold Food Festival". Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once ordered the world to "go to the tombs with cold food." Since the "Cold Food Festival" usually occurs one or two days before the Qingming Festival, the customs of cold food and Qingming sacrifices and sweeping ancestors' tombs are combined into one. In modern times, Qingming Festival has become a festival to commemorate revolutionary martyrs. Revolutionary mausoleums everywhere have become a place for young people to educate young people about revolutionary traditions. Because since ancient times, the Chinese have not only paid attention to human "life", that is, the reproduction of the race; at the same time, they also attach great importance to human "death" and pay attention to "death in its proper place." Sima Qian once said, "Everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather." Therefore, the Chinese have always attached great importance to end-of-life care and are very particular about funerals and memorials after death, which is related to the so-called "filial piety" issue. Filial piety is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. In the ancient civilization that lasted for five thousand years, the patriarchal system based on blood relations has been preserved despite the changes of dynasties and the rise and fall of wars, and has never been fundamentally damaged.
The philosopher said: "Purity is an illusory feeling, and clarity is a lifelong pursuit; the sky is clear, the earth is clear, the wind is clear, the moon is clear, and clarity always belongs to nature." In fact, the word Qingming, in addition to specifically referring to a festival, its literal meaning often reminds people of the Qingming Festival in the world. Therefore, Qingming is still the pursuit of an ideal society. Let's just talk about Jie Zitui. He lived in exile with the Duke of Jin, Chong'er (later Duke Wen of Jin), for 19 years. When life was hard, he did not hesitate to cut a piece of meat from his own leg to feed Prince Chong'er. Later, when Chong'er came to the throne, Jie Zitui accompanied his mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan, unwilling to receive a title or reward. Duke Wen of Jin took the wrong measure of burning the mountain, but Jie Zitui still did not come out of the mountain and was burned. Wen Gong cried loudly and found a letter from Jie Zitui in the tree hole on the top of the mountain: I will sacrifice my flesh to you and hope that my lord will always be clear. It is better to be a ghost under the willow tree and never regret it than to accompany the king as a remonstrator. If my lord has me in your heart, remember me and always reflect on yourself. I have a clear conscience in Jiuquan, and I hope that the government will be clear and clear again! zhlzw.It is said that Duke Wen of Jin followed Jie Zitui's last words, worked diligently and honestly, and became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. The "harmonious society" we propose today should be the Qingming that people are pursuing today. A society that is democratic, fair, just, honest, friendly, full of vitality, stable and orderly, and where man and nature live in harmony should be modern people's interpretation of Qingming.
Ghosts are the essence of old things. "When the body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is the ghost." Some people call Qingming the "Ghost Festival". People die as ghosts. Ghosts are a favorite weapon used by adults to prey on children. There are times when adults become disloyal when talking about ghosts. However, "trying to go up to Wumen to get a glimpse of the county, there is new smoke in several places during the Qingming Festival." On a bright day like Qingming, we feel that even ghosts have become a little cute. The white or red paper money cut into strings of bronze coins on the grave and fluttering in the wind are so different from the soul-calling flags in front of the funeral hall. It doesn't make people feel scared at all, and children will even pull them out. Strings as playthings. They seem to be pieces of art, floating gracefully among the green trees and on the grass, embellishment of nature with a humanistic touch.
The key to commemorating deceased loved ones is to be mindful. Good performance and family harmony are the best condolences for deceased loved ones than anything else. Yes, people live in this world and face social reality. The Chinese nation has a long civilization tradition and is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. On the basis of carrying forward the national cultural spirit, inheriting the past and linking up with the future, passing it on from generation to generation, it becomes the spiritual force that unites the Chinese nation. This force is invincible and is the core force for the rise of the Chinese nation. They are busy paying homage to the martyrs and deceased relatives, expressing everyone's emotions in different forms, to remember the souls of those in heaven, and to comfort the deceased martyrs and relatives. Let your loved ones rest in peace and hope that they will live well in the heavenly world. The living can use this to enhance their emotional inner motivation and live better, in order to fulfill their promises, realize the last wishes of the martyrs, and realize the unfulfilled ideals of their relatives.
Today we remember those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the Republic of China. It was they who built the country of the Republic of China with their own flesh and blood. We remember them, pay homage to them, sweep their tombs, erect monuments and biographies for them, praise their lofty ideals, sing their great achievements, and release all emotions during the Qingming Festival, which generates huge spiritual power and promotes society to continue to move forward. Keep moving forward. This is what it should be, and it also reflects the spiritual outlook of a nation.
Don’t forget the people who dug the wells when you were ready. Without the bloody sacrifices of those martyrs who fought bloody battles, there would be no Republic of China today. We must do this every year, from generation to generation, passing on the glorious tradition, allowing future generations to understand history, understand the history of social development, cherish the fruits of labor, and inspire the broad masses of the people to work hard and make greater contributions to the development of society.
There is no greater kindness than knowing how to repay kindness. Gratitude is soul health. As a society, if there is no "touch", it will be a numb society, and if there is no "gratitude", it will be a society that is difficult to develop in the long term. Yes, on Qingming Festival, the continuous rain and continuous memories wet the threshold of memory. Looking up at the sky, where the clouds are deep and dim, where is the kingdom of heaven? It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival. How sad are you when you miss your loved ones? I want to shout to the sky, but my children and grandchildren miss me deeply! It's always the drizzle, it's always the hurried pedestrians, it's always the mountains full of cuckoos, it's always the longing. Every Qingming Festival, it seems that every drop of spring rain turns into thoughts of missing relatives. Relatives who have passed away far away, but at the end of the day, looking down at you, the descendants of the world, repeating the memorial ceremony year after year in this season of missing you? Flowers bloom and wither, flying all over the sky. Maybe he was praying silently, hoping that everyone in the world would pay attention to the place pointed by the "shepherd boy" during the rainy days of Qingming. zhlzw. It is the Qingming Festival every year, every family is like this, every year, to pay homage to the eternal love in our hearts. May our ancestors have spirits in heaven and bless all people in this world with peace and harmony year after year.
The kindness of our ancestors cannot be forgotten, and the traditional culture cannot be lost. It’s another spring with green grass and a distant east wind. Qingming Festival is a sentimental festival. Our ancestors chose for us such a revival of everything, a peaceful and quiet festival, to live in a peaceful era, in this beautiful and comfortable environment. Qingming Festival should be allowed to return to its tradition. Let us inherit the glorious virtues and civilization of China in this way, worship our ancestors, and remember our ancestors. Pay homage to relatives and friends, and pay homage to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country and the people. Be more down-to-earth, convey positive energy, and let’s work hard together to serve the motherland, create a beautiful dream for the motherland, and build a happy tomorrow!
The plan for the year lies in spring and Qingming Festival It is spring within spring. Qingming every year, I miss you dearly. It is worth mentioning that if we want to cultivate the gratitude of Chinese people, we might as well celebrate Tomb-Sweeping Day as a Thanksgiving Day. On this festival, by being grateful to our ancestors, especially to the revolutionary martyrs, we can deeply appreciate the hard-won happiness of today, deeply understand the greatness of life and the meaning of life, and thus consciously assume the responsibilities of family and society. At the same time, traditional Qingming Festival customs also include a series of activities such as outing, planting willows, and green planting. This is consistent with the concept of maintaining harmony between man and nature advocated today. Make Qingming Festival a festival that respects nature. Most importantly, we must take this as an opportunity to strengthen patriotic education, remember the merits of our ancestors, hold high the red flag and stride forward to push the economic development of society to a new level. Only in this way can the martyrs and relatives in heaven be comforted and rest in peace! Only those relatives can protect us and protect our health, and only then can heaven and earth be harmonious and happy.
Let’s end with a famous poem:
The flowers bloom in spring to express my gratitude to my parents, and my condolences are conveyed in the loess ridges.
Think carefully as spring passes and spring comes, there is always a time when the flowers fade and the flowers bloom.
I think from afar that my kindness is as deep as the sea, but heaven and earth are far away.
The drizzle is flying like catkins, and the sky is like heartbreak.
It’s the Qingming Festival again. How much do you feel when you miss your loved ones? (Chen Yingfeng)
