February in Jiangnan is the season when flowers are in full bloom, like smoke and fog. And I am far away from home, but I met the Cold Food Festival, which is infinitely sad. Poor people often have three meals, and there are no fireworks in the stove. It's just that there is no need to commemorate the ancient literati's meson push for tomorrow's broken cooking custom. Creation background
Cold Food Festival is a traditional festival in ancient China, which usually takes place from winter to the day after 105 and two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day. The ancients attached great importance to this festival. According to the custom, every family banned fire and only ate ready-made food, hence the name cold food. In the system of the Tang Dynasty, on Qingming Day, the emperor announced that he would take the fire of elms and willows as a reward for his recent ministers to show his gratitude.
This ceremony has two purposes: first, it marks the end of the Cold Food Festival, and fire can be used; The second is to remind courtiers and officials, so that everyone can learn from mesons who have made meritorious deeds but not rewarded, and work diligently for the people.
After the mid-Tang Dynasty, several bad emperors were partial to eunuchs, so that they were in power, corrupted the court affairs and excluded courtiers. The upright people were extremely indignant about this. Some people think that this poem was written for this purpose.
