There are many ancient poems about Tomb-Sweeping Day in our life. So, how much do you know? Come and have a look with me!
Before Qing dynasty and Ming dynasty
Every holiday season, I miss my parents, and the peaches and plums smile, and the Noda wilderness is only sad. Thunder stung dragons and snakes, and the original vegetation in the suburbs was soft after the rain.
It's unfair for people to sacrifice my arrogant concubine and wife, but it's unfair to burn them. A clever fool has known who it is for thousands of years, and his eyes are full of chrysanthemum.
Comments: I thought of the dead and the value of life in the wilderness from the flowers. No matter how wise or stupid,
In the end, it's all wormwood, but the meaning of life is very different. As the contemporary people say, whether you are an official or for the people, you will eventually return to the same point: old. It's just that the process of life is different. The author's conception of this Qingming poem is much more profound, not only to mourn the dead, but also to alert the living.
Cold food hanyi
In late spring, Chang 'an city is full of songs and dances, and countless flowers fall. The east wind of the Cold Food Festival blows on the willow trees in the royal garden. As night fell, the palace was busy lighting candles, and smoke drifted to the house of the prince and the marquis.
Comments: Different from other poems about Qingming, this poem is obviously endowed with political color. Before Tomb-Sweeping Day in Tang Dynasty, ministers were given Qingming candles in the palace. As a result, the smoke lit by those candles enveloped the palace and scattered around, cleverly satirizing the number of privileged and powerful people.
Yes, it's Lou's business.
The tiller calls for love boats, and the spring grass is green and boundless. Try going to Wumen to see the county outline. There are some new cigarettes in Qingming.
Comments: The subtle sentence of this poem is "There are new smoke in several places in Qingming Festival", but there is no new smoke, indicating that people are dying everywhere. Cigarettes that burn paper money are obviously old and still disappear every year. In particular, the word "give it a try" vividly outlines the author's fear of peeping at the bleak scene.
Du Mu in Tomb-Sweeping Day
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day; The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.
Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.
Comments: This is the most widely circulated Qingming poem. The most wonderful words are "I want to break my soul", and the sadness of the mourners is vividly on the paper. Later generations also adapted this poem into a short sitcom in different ways-it rained in succession during the Qingming Festival. On the road, pedestrians want to break their souls. Excuse me, "where is the restaurant?" Shepherd boy (pointing): Xinghua Village.
Bai Juyi in Cold Food and Wild Hope
The crow makes the trees faint, and the Qingming cold food cries. The wind blows the paper money in the wilderness, and the spring grass in the tomb is green.
Pears reflect poplars, full of life and death. I don't hear the heavy spring crying, but the rustling rain makes people return.
Comments: Bai Juyi is good at depicting the atmosphere in this poem. Paper money and ancient tombs fluttering in the wind give people a sense of killing and a sense of tranquility. Li Tang poplar was originally a landscape, but in Bai Juyi's eyes, "it's all life and death", which shows that life is impermanent.
On the Tomb of Cold Food Yang Wanli
Go straight to your husband! Can this bridge be out of danger? The maple leaves in the distant mountains are pale outside, and the broken houses are beside the lonely wheat. The spring breeze is coming again, and all the new buildings are gone. Pear blossoms are cold food, and it is only when you enter the festival that you are worried.
Comment: This is how the author felt when he went to the grave. Focus on rendering the bleak scene on the way to the underworld. Lonely broken houses and dangerous bridges all give people a feeling of helplessness. So "just worry about it."
Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as the outing festival, is between April 4th and 6th every year according to the solar calendar, which is a good time for people to have a spring outing. Therefore, the ancients had the custom of going for an outing in Qingming and carrying out a series of sports activities. This custom has a history of more than 2000 years. In the vast treasure house of ancient literature, there are countless poems about Qingming.
