Qingming is coming. What's the meaning of the rural saying "Clear and early winter clothes, money and food in spring, clothes in autumn"?

Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming, and everyone knows that it often rains on this day, because? It rains in succession during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls? . The topic that Cool Fish wants to talk about today is that there is a saying in the countryside? Qingming early cold clothes late, spring money autumn clothes? So what does this proverb mean?

First, let's talk about Tomb-Sweeping Day. Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the 24 solar terms, and it is a traditional festival in China with a history of thousands of years. I think it has different meanings in everyone's mind. Its origin is very intriguing. According to historical records, in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, fled and lived a hard life. He followed the meson push and cut a piece of meat from his leg to satisfy his hunger. Later, Zhong Er returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch (Jin Wengong, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period). All the followers who followed him in exile were rewarded for major events, but Jietui refused to accept the reward. He took his mother to Mianshan and refused to come out. He thought Jiexiu's filial piety to his mother would definitely bring her out. But the fire killed Jiexiu's mother and son. To commemorate Jiexiu, Jin Wengong ordered that no fire should be lit on this day every year, and every household could only eat cold food. This is the origin of the Cold Food Festival. The Cold Food Festival is the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day, and the ancients often extended the activities of the Cold Food Festival to Qingming. As time goes by, people combine cold food with Qingming.

For two thousand years, we in China have always attached great importance to this festival. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, every household does not use fire on this day, but only eats some vegetables or green groups the next day. Recently, China has designated it as a legal holiday. Let people have time to worship their ancestors, sweep graves and hike. Tomb-Sweeping Day marks a tradition of China for thousands of years, showing that China people are loyal and emotional, and China people will never forget their kindness. Get to the point, rural proverb? Qingming early cold clothes late, spring money autumn clothes? What does this mean? Today is Tomb-Sweeping Day, and October 1st is called? Cold clothing festival? , is also a festival to worship ancestors, in fact, and Tomb-Sweeping Day are corresponding to each other. At that time, the villagers had passed the busy farming season, and the ancestors should have a holiday, and the weather was getting colder and colder. What about now? Autumn festival? At this time, we should prepare some winter cotton-padded clothes for our ancestors. What are they called? Burn cold clothes? Burn some clothes made of paper Since our ancestors didn't have a holiday until the Cold Clothes Festival, if they sent it early, they wouldn't receive it, but they would receive it later. Really? Qingming early cold clothes late, spring money autumn clothes? The idea is to give ancestors money to spend, cotton-padded clothes for the winter, and food and clothing, thus bringing blessings to future generations. ?

Tomb-Sweeping Day, how should we pay homage to our deceased relatives? We must carry forward the fine traditions. In the past and now, we must carry forward the fine traditions and cultural customs of ancestor worship and mourning for the deceased relatives. Tomb-Sweeping Day, we should go to the graves of our loved ones and offer sacrifices, wreaths and offerings to express our memories. However, we should put an end to extravagant and meaningless sacrificial activities, so that Tomb-Sweeping Day can live up to its name. While adhering to the tradition, we should enrich the connotation of Tomb-Sweeping Day and give it more valuable new connotation. Many people think that Tomb-Sweeping Day is just a synonym for sacrifice. In fact, the customs in Tomb-Sweeping Day are rich and colorful, except for ancestor worship and mourning for relatives, hiking and tree planting. However, in today's rich material life, besides offering sacrifices, hiking and planting trees, we should also give it newer, more valuable and more socially meaningful connotations. This new connotation is: caring for the lonely elderly and children around us and paying attention to the socially disadvantaged groups. Yes, besides the sad process of sacrifice, there are other joys in our life, so we should look at everything optimistically.
