1, this day is Tomb-Sweeping Day. The poet Du Mu happened to get caught in the rain during his trip. Qingming, although it is a season of blooming green flowers and bright spring, is also a period when the climate is easy to change, and it often catches up with "noisy weather"
2. As early as the Liang Dynasty, it was recorded that there were often "strong winds and continuous rain" during the Cold Food Festival in Tomb-Sweeping Day two days ago. If it rains on Qingming Day, there is also a special name called "pouring rain on fire". The poet Du Mu met such a day.
The historical origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day;
1 and "Twenty-four solar terms" are the products of ancient farming civilization, which are related to the time of official support and gossip and have a long history.
2. Twenty-four solar terms were originally determined by the direction of Beidou bucket handle. Bucket handle started from "Yin position" and turned clockwise, one year old. When the barrel handle points to the "B position", it is clear.
3. So Huainanzi said: "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to B, and the Qingming wind comes." Another article, A Hundred Questions at the Age, explains this: "Everything grows clean and bright at this time. So it is called Qingming. " Tomb-Sweeping Day was named after "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival shows everything".
