Ancient poems of Cold Food Festival

Tang Dynasty: Shao Ye

Nine paths in spring. The spring breeze fascinated Luo Qi.

Wan rode out of the door and embraced the incense dust.

Don't talk about hanging bones, it has been like this for thousands of years.

Ann knows who she is today, not the ghost of the past.

But looking at swimming on the flat ground, you can also see destruction and death.

This article is written to satirize Wang Sun's son's spring outing. The poet has lived in Chang 'an for a long time and is familiar with the customs of Beijing, but he doesn't like the extravagant life of the ruler. After describing the lively scene of the butler's children wearing Luo Qi and riding a fine horse for a spring outing, the poem intends to change the pen to persuade them to hang on to the bones in the wild, because they may be reincarnated by ghosts in previous lives.

Finally, he expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the sentence "But if you look at the flat land, you will also see destruction and death". The so-called ghost metempsychosis is illusory, but it is still a kind of "fantasy" in terms of expression. Serve the reality. " ?

Tang Dynasty: Han Yi

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. ?

The first two sentences of the poem are written during the day, and the last two sentences are written at night: "When the sun sets, candles are passed in the Han Palace, and light smoke is scattered into the Wuhou House." Sunset is evening. "Han Palace" refers to the imperial palace in the Tang Dynasty. "Five Hou" generally refers to five eunuchs who were sealed on the same day in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Here, the Han Dynasty is used as a metaphor for the Tang Dynasty, alluding to eunuchs who have been favored by the emperor since the middle Tang Dynasty.

Every family can't make a fire on the Cold Food Festival, but the palace is an exception. Before dark, the palace was busy distributing candles. In addition to the palace, your near minister can also get this favor.

The poem vividly depicts a picture of candles passing by at night with "passing" and "scattering", which makes people see the light of candles and smell the faint smoke. It is a long-standing custom in China to ban fire from cold food, but powerful ministers can make an exception and place candles. The poet made a euphemistic satire on this corrupt political phenomenon.
