How to understand the poem Spring Equinox?

Time gently pushes the door of spring, awakening the most beautiful season in the world - the vernal equinox. Read the poems about the Spring Equinox and feel the blooming mountain flowers, full of spring spirit, and singing of spring birds in the eyes of the ancients:

1. The beauty of the Spring Equinox in the eyes of the ancients:

In the Song Dynasty poet Ouyang Xiu's work "Treading on the Shasha" The beautiful scenery of the vernal equinox described in ":

Rainy scenery, vernal equinox weather. Thousands of flowers bloom brightly. Liang Xinyan is painted in pairs, and the parrot in the jade cage sleeps alone and sad. There are plum blossoms hanging against the wall, and the ground is covered with berries and moss.

The poet recorded the spring scenery and the spring swallows after the rain in beautiful verses. The poem not only described the flowers in bloom and the spring swallows coming in pairs, but also showed the characteristics of the moist air during the vernal equinox. The air makes moss crawl on the walls, and you can see the beautiful spring scenery at a glance.

Nowadays, if you want to see such beautiful spring scenery in Ouyang Xiu's works, you can only go to a small park where many flowers are planted. However, the artificially carved ones are definitely not as beautiful as the natural ones in ancient times. Now think about how envious it was to see flowers blooming everywhere in ancient times.

The vernal equinox in the work "Qijue·Awakening" by Xu Xuan, a poet from the Song Dynasty, is as follows:

On the vernal equinox, the rain falls softly, and the slanting wind from the willow bank brings the guests home.

The season is late in the north, which shows that there is green waist fertilizer early.

The gentle spring rain and the lush willow trees in the poet Xu Xuan's works all show a sense of spring. However, the characteristics of the vernal equinox in the north where the poet is located have not yet been fully highlighted, so the envious south is already full of grass and warblers. Flying, the flowers are red and the willows are green.

This poem shows the scenery and climate characteristics of the northern vernal equinox. The willow trees are particularly lush, and the spring rain is not heavy. Moreover, the poet also gave us some knowledge about the difference between the northern and southern vernal equinoxes, which seems very considerate now.

The poet Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty described the vernal equinox in his work "Poetry of the Twenty-Four Qi: Mid-February at the Spring Equinox":

The two Qi should not compete with each other, and the spring equinox will rain. OK. Watch a movie in the rain, listen to the thunder when the clouds pass.

The mountains are green and the sky is green, and the forest flowers are facing the bright sun. The birds singing in the beams are like understanding human feelings.

The poet described the scenery on the vernal equinox very comprehensively. Whether it is the spring rain in the sky, spring thunder, or the green trees, spring flowers, spring swallows, etc. on the ground, they are all so beautiful.

If you read this poem carefully, you will find that the poet has a sufficient reserve of knowledge, because the poem not only describes the spring scenery, but also tells us some little climate knowledge about the vernal equinox. For example, the "two airs" at the beginning are what is called cold air mass and warm air in today's climate. The author mentioned that cold and warm air masses mainly lead to the appearance of spring rain later. Because spring rain and thunder are caused by the collision of meteorological cold air masses and warm air.

The second half describes the spring scene after the rain. The green mountains are connected with the sky, and the flowers in the forest are connected with the sunlight, which is particularly bright. The swallows among the beams whisper. After reading this poem, I really admire the wisdom of the ancients. Even though we still have little knowledge about climate, the ancients could already use it to compose poems and write them so beautifully.

2. How did the ancients celebrate the Spring Equinox:

The poet Quan Deyu of the Tang Dynasty thought about it in "February 27th, the Spring Equinox". "" described his time on the day of the Spring Equinox:

Sitting with the curtains open in the clear day, the scenery is everywhere. I read flowers and write poems and think about them, but I feel sad about the drinkers.

On the social day, swallows fly twice, and at the spring equinox, hundreds of warblers sing. What you thought about is gone, but there is still a feeling.

The poet Quan Deyu sat in front of the window on the spring equinox, admiring the spring scenery, and then drank a glass of wine and missed his hometown.

Everywhere is full of life during the Spring Equinox. Swallows also come in pairs, and birds also show off their singing voices. Such beautiful scenery always makes some people think of their lonely lives and the scenery of spring. Out of place. Not only the ancients had such thoughts, but those of us in modern times who are running around for life are also like poets. We always feel homesick when facing beautiful scenery.

Zhao Changqing, a poet of the Song Dynasty, described the day of the spring equinox in his book "Dian Crimson Lips":

It is slightly warm and slightly cold, and it is almost half spring for flower viewing. Willow shakes the golden thread. Asking for friends orioles to call each other.

The jade wrists are like eyebrows, and the eyes are wandering frequently. The singing voice is soft. Yu Zhi was persuaded. When drunk, we should fight together.

During the spring equinox, the poet Zhao Changqing felt that half of the flower-viewing season was over and he would have missed it if he didn’t cherish it, so he quickly enjoyed the spring scenery, with the willow trees swaying and the orioles showing off their singing voices and holding cups to drink. Such a wonderful time , I won’t stop until I’m drunk.

What the poet did is what we should do in the face of the beautiful scenery of the Spring Equinox, cherish the spring scenery in front of us, drink and chat with friends we haven’t seen for a long time, put down all work and worries, and blend into the beautiful scenery for once Relax yourself.

Cen Shen, a writer from the Tang Dynasty, chose to enjoy the spring with his friends during the Spring Equinox:

Guo Nan was in a scholar's house, with mountains outside the door. The victorious concepts suddenly lead to each other, and the spring blossoms are now in full bloom. In the mountain kitchen, the bamboos are used for cooking, and in the wild, the weeds are pounded among the vines. There are several wine clouds and thousands of flowers on the rolling curtain.

Yanquan sighs until late, and the state and county want to go home. The color of the grass is accompanied by morning rain, and the sound of the beach is also the night bell. Ai Zi is concerned about the common customs, what's the matter with the old dust. There was an appointment under the forest, and he turned around and disappeared.

Cen and his friends went to the friend's house to play. The friend's house faced the mountains. The spring scenery was perfect, the spring water was endless, the grass was still covered with morning rain, and the sound of water on the river beach was mixed with the distant sound. The bells ringing everywhere, spring life is really leisurely.

Both the poet Cen Shen and Zhao Changqing are unwilling to live up to such beautiful scenery, but Cen Shen prefers to treat the spring scenery gently and feel the infinite beauty of the spring scenery with an appreciative eye. It really makes us envious in the fast-paced world.

3. The vernal equinox is not only a good time for flower appreciation and travel, but also an important time for spring plowing:

The poet Song Wan of the Qing Dynasty described spring plowing like this in "Spring Field House":< /p>

Noda's orioles are in a flock of their own, and the mountain old man talks to each other about old news.

In the middle of the night, the cow wakes up for dinner. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the spring equinox for planting trees.

This poem mainly writes that spring is the season of birds singing and flowers fragrant, and it is also the season of sowing. In the countryside, there are busy people everywhere.

In addition to the beautiful scenery during the Spring Equinox, there are naturally also some busy figures. Old farmers in the mountains must take advantage of the Spring Equinox to plant trees quickly, as the proverb goes: "Wherever you cultivate, there is the beauty of pastoral rice and wheat. Only then can life in this world last forever.” What you sow in the spring, you will reap in the fall.

In order to better understand these ancient poems, here is some little knowledge about the vernal equinox:

The vernal equinox is one of the twenty-four solar terms and the fourth solar term in spring. On the day of the spring equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the day and night time are equal in all parts of the earth. Therefore, in ancient times, the spring and autumn equinoxes were also called "day and night equinoxes." After the spring equinox, the climate is mild, with abundant rain and bright sunshine.

After the vernal equinox, overwintering crops in most areas of China enter the spring growth stage. As the saying goes: "When the wheat rises on the spring equinox, fertilizer and water must follow closely." A spring rain brings warmth, and after the spring rain, we are busy plowing the fields. The busy spring season is about to begin, and spring management, spring plowing, and spring planting are about to enter a busy stage. After the vernal equinox, overwintering crops enter the growth stage, and field management must be strengthened. Because the temperature is rising rapidly and water demand is relatively large, farmers must strengthen water storage and moisture conservation.
