2. Clever ancient poems and sentences

Tanabata is a traditional festival in China with a long history.

Star worship, which began in ancient times, spread in the Western Han Dynasty and prevailed in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Later, it was passed down from generation to generation, and it continued to develop and evolve, becoming a daughter's day, a begging day, and a Valentine's day.

Valentine's Day in China is full of myths. The first is the constellation of stars, the seven fairies. It is the girls who worship Seven Sisters, pray and make wishes, beg for needle and thread, and pray for a beautiful marriage. Among them, Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Chang 'e, Houyi, WU GANG, osmanthus wine, Galaxy, Queqiao and Qiao Qi are all beautiful legends.

In view of the close relationship between Qixi, Niunv and people's lives, literati have been feeling history, experiencing life, describing love, moving the scene, and leaving countless articles and poems. There are many long poems about Qixi, but most of them are seven laws and five laws.

See Bixiao tonight on Tanabata, and cross the river bridge with the cowherd and the weaver girl. Every family watches the autumn moon, and every family wears HongLing.

The difference of this poem is that when he was writing the Galaxy autumn scenery, he lamented that time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, the girls are struggling for the moon, and their interest is strong, but the crescent moon is slowly fading in the sky. The Milky Way in the poem refers to the Milky Way, the new autumn refers to the early autumn, and Tanabata is in the autumn season.

Begging for ingenuity is mostly in the courtyard, and rich people are also embroidering in the boudoir.

From the scene in front of us, it is associated with the sad season on earth and in the sky. In the starry sky on the moon bank in the cloud world, the cowherd and the weaver girl are blocked by thousands of locks and have no chance to meet each other. We can only meet briefly once a year, and the rest of the time is like a floating river in the vast milky way, swimming around, unable to meet or get together.

The last two sentences explain the clever things clearly, concisely and vividly. In his poems, the poet did not specifically write out various wishes, but left room for imagination, which showed people's desire to seek wisdom and pursue happiness.

7. Poems about Valentine's Day in China

In ancient times, there were famous sentences describing Tanabata, such as "See Yun Lan tonight on Tanabata, see the morning glory and the weaver girl crossing the bridge", "See the morning glory and the weaver girl, the moon turns to the shadow of the buttonwood tree", "If two people love each other for a long time, it will be sooner or later" and so on.

(1) Watch Bixiao on Tanabata tonight and let the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl cross the river bridge. "Looking at the blue clouds on Tanabata tonight, leading the cowherd and the weaver girl across the river bridge" comes from Lin Jie's "Begging for Cleverness" in the Tang Dynasty. The poem says, "Tonight on Tanabata, watch the blue clouds and lead the cowherd and weaver girl across the river bridge. Every family watches the autumn moon and wears tens of thousands of HongLing. " Qiao Qi is a poem describing the grand occasion of Qiao Qi folk Tanabata. The first two sentences, "Look at the blue sky on Tanabata today and lead the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl across the river bridge", describe the folk story of Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, that is, the annual Tanabata is coming again, and people in every household can't help looking up at the vast sky and watching the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the bridge across the Tianhe River. This is because this beautiful legend has touched a kind and beautiful heart and aroused people's beautiful wishes and rich imagination. And "every family looks at the autumn moon and wears red threads", that is, every family looks at the autumn moon while threading a needle on the moon and wearing red threads. Poets do not specifically write out various wishes in their poems, but leave room for imagination, which more and more reflects people's joy at festivals.

(2) Look at the morning glory and Vega, and the moon turns to the shadow of the buttonwood tree. "Looking at the morning glory and weaving the stars, the moon turns to the shadow of the phoenix tree" comes from Lu Zhi's Drunk East Wind Tanabata in Yuan Dynasty. The poem says, "Silver candle is cold, Qiu Guang draws a screen, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the night is quiet." . Spider silk embroidery needle, dragon musk burning golden dome. Celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day on Earth. Lie down and look at the morning glory and Vega, and the moon casts the shadow of the buttonwood. "The main idea of the poem is that the light from the silver candlestick lights up the painting screen and sits quietly in the pavilion on a sunny night. Women thread spider silk through embroidery needles, dragons and incense burn in the golden tripod, and people are celebrating Chinese Valentine's Day. They lay watching the morning glory and Vega meet at the Magpie Bridge, and the moon floated across the buttonwood and cast a reflection. In the poem, the author draws a picture of a quiet night, that is, the night of Qixi, when the moon is bright and the wind is clear, people burn incense to celebrate the festival. The woman eager for ingenuity also took out the needle money to please under the buttonwood tree and watched the cowherd and weaver girl meet.

(3) If two kinds of feelings last for a long time, they will be in the morning and evening. "If two kinds of feelings last for a long time, how can it be sooner or later?" Que Qiao Xian, written by Qin Guan, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the poem, the cloud says, "The thin cloud is smart, the flying stars spread grievances, and the silver man is far away from darkness. On the seventh day of autumn dew and autumn, it is time to meet, mostly those who are together in the world, but the appearance of husband and wife. Common complaint against acacia, tender feelings like water, meet each other as if it were a dream, when it is hard to see the bridge. If you are in love for a long time, it will be sooner or later. " This is the preface of Valentine's Day in China. The first sentence shows the unique lyrical atmosphere of Tanabata, points out the theme of "begging for cleverness" and the tragic characteristics of the story of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", and praises the loyal and sincere love through the story of the joys and sorrows of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. That sentence "If two feelings last for a long time, how can it be sooner or later?" Reveals the true meaning of love: love should stand the test of long-term separation, as long as it can truly love each other, even if it is far apart all the year round, it is much more valuable than the low-level interest that accompanies day and night. These two emotional words have become the eternal swan song in love carols.
