China's traditional festival poems

Wang Song Anshi

The roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine.

The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old.

Every day, thousands of families always trade new peaches for old ones. Every time I read this sentence, I can always feel the vigorous vitality behind the poem. Only by unloading the burden of yesterday can we stand up straight and face the new sunrise.

first day of the lunar month

Xin Qiji in Southern Song Dynasty

Old illness forgets the season and still sleeps in the morning.

The child is awake. Today is the New Year.

"Children call Weng Qi, today is New Year", which means the beginning of the new year.

Lantern Festival (the fifteenth day of the first month)

Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, Xiaoyuanxi, Yuanxi or Lantern Festival, is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called "night" night, and the fifteenth day of the first month is the first full moon night in a year, so it is called "Lantern Festival".

Lantern Festival mainly includes a series of traditional folk activities, such as watching lanterns, eating glutinous rice balls, solve riddles on the lanterns and setting off fireworks.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month

Don Su Weidao

Silver flowers shine like bright lanterns on the tree. On this night, the bridge leading to bright stars opens.

The crowd is surging and the dust is flying under the horseshoe; Moonlight shines in every corner, where people can see the moon overhead.

The singer in the moonlight, dressed in makeup, sang Plum Blossom.

The capital has been abolished, so don't worry about the timing of leaking jade. Don't let the only midnight snack pass by in a hurry this year.

This poem by Su Weidao truly reproduces the prosperous scene of the 15th night of the first month of the Tang Dynasty.

Green Jade Cup: Lantern Festival

Song Xin qi Ji

One night, the east wind made up thousands of trees and flowers, blowing off the stars and rain.

BMW carved cars are full of incense.

Phoenix flute moves, jade pot turns, fish dragon dances all night.

Moths, snow, willows, gold thread, laughter and incense are all gone.

Looking for him in the crowd,

Suddenly looking back, the man was there, dimly lit.

The Lantern Festival in the Song Dynasty is as lively as that in the Tang Dynasty. Xin Qiji wrote: Like the east wind blowing away thousands of trees and flowers, fireworks blowing down raindrops. The luxurious carriage is full of fragrance. The melodious sound of the phoenix flute echoed everywhere, the moon like a jade pot gradually tilted westward, and the fish dragon lantern danced all night.

Dragon heads up (the second day of the second lunar month)

Dragon heads up (on the second day of the second lunar month), also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival, Qinglong Festival and Spring Dragon Festival. At the beginning of mid-spring, the "Dragon Horn Star" rises from the eastern horizon, so it is called "Dragon Head Up".

"Dragon Head Up" is a reflection of ancient farming culture in China on festivals, which indicates that the spirit of the sun will emerge from the ground, spring thunder will suddenly move, rain will increase, temperature will rise, everything will be full of vitality, and spring ploughing will begin. Since ancient times, people have also regarded the season when dragons look up as a day of blessing and good luck.

February 2(nd)

Tang Bai Juyi

On February 2, it was sunny and rainy, and grass sprouted for a while.

Light shirt, fine horse spring boy, cross full of words.

On February 2, after the rain cleared, grass and vegetable buds kept growing in the rain. Teenagers on spring outing rode horses and lined up at the ferry, showing that there were really many people on spring outing.

February 2(nd)

Song Fang Yue

Last night, there was no flat beach in the spring tide, and a rain urged the color to be half full.

The wild goose called Yuanxiao to Saibei, and Yan took the news agency to Jiangnan.

If you are unhappy, you don't have to swim in the flowers, and if you are sick, you don't have to buy a medicine basket.

Only answer the public loyalty to heaven and earth and teach children to make a fuss.

On February 2, after the spring rain, the flowers bloomed in half. Yuanxiao is far away, society is new, flowers and trees are newly opened, and swallows are back. Why are you unhappy? From then on, I will repay the beautiful scenery given by heaven and earth. It is the greatest happiness to enjoy happiness with my children.

Cold food (one or two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day)

Cold food, the first day after the winter solstice 105, a few days before Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Folk believe that the Cold Food Festival comes from commemorating Jiexiu, and its traditional virtues of being indifferent to fame and fortune, preferring death to surrender, loyalty and filial piety are highly respected.

cold drink and snack

plum

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.

Han Yi is one of the "Ten Talents in Dali Period". There are at least 400 poems related to the Cold Food Festival in the whole Tang Dynasty, and this one by Han Yi is the best.

cold drink and snack

prosperous

I have eaten cold food seven times and have never been to a graveyard.

His hometown is separated by mountains and rivers.

The moon flies in the black magpie, and the cuckoo sings in the empty mountain.

Gao Tang with white hair, tears in the morning and evening.

This poem by Hong Sheng tells the true feelings of missing parents and relatives during the Cold Food Festival.

Qingming (around April 5 of Gregorian calendar)

Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the 24 solar terms, and it is also a traditional festival in China. It is a day for China people to worship their ancestors and sweep graves.

At the age of 100, I asked, "When everything grows, it is pure and bright, so it is called Qingming."

day of mourning

Don Dumu

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.

Tomb-Sweeping Day's period was at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. "There are many rains during the Qingming period, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." On this sunny day, there will be no generosity.

Tomb-Sweeping Day travels with friends.

Tang laihu

Several Su Chunshan chased Lu Lang, and Tomb-Sweeping Day was so smoky.

Go back to wear a thin boat and slip on the bow, and get drunk and step on the residual flowers.

The wind is rushing, the clouds are floating wild, and the rain falls on the square pond.

I can't bear to look back, frogs are full of sunset.

Qingming is the day when the ancients went out for an outing. "Going back to the boat and sliding the bow, getting drunk and stepping on the broken teeth" truly reproduces the scene of the Qingming travel in the Tang Dynasty.

Dragon Boat Festival (the fifth day of the fifth lunar month)

The Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of May, is one of the festivals that have been circulating in China for more than two thousand years. The concept of "the fifth day of May is an evil day and an evil month" originated from the ancients in the pre-Qin period and developed into a day to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan's concern for the country and the people.

Yuezhou Guan Dujing

Don Zhang said

Painting flying boat, the two compete with each other.

The color of the low-lying mountains changes and the spray floats.

Clay is still very popular in San Lv. Two women are traveling by the river.

Sing a song to welcome Meng Lao and dance solo to send Yang Hou.

Drum South Lake Bell, bid for Xiyou Building.

Often speeding, not afraid of the sun.

As Zhang Shuoshi said, "Tushang is popular in San Lv, and two women walk along the river." Dragon Boat Festival, how can you not think of Qu Yuan?
