Ancient festivals and related customs

New Year's Day

On the first day of the first month, also known as Yuanri, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to the gods and sticking peach symbols. According to legend, there are two immortals, Tea and Lei Yu, under the peach tree in Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea, who can eat all kinds of ghosts. The ancients painted two statues in peach wood and hung them at the door to exorcise ghosts. The Five Dynasties began to write couplets on symbols, which later evolved into Spring Festival couplets. Wang Anshi has a poem "January Day": "Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old ones."

Shangyuan

On the fifteenth day of the first month, it is also called Yuanxiao, Yuanxiao and Yuanxiao. It is also called the Lantern Festival, because on the last night of the Lantern Festival, people hang lanterns to play. Song notes Shu Zhen's Cha Sheng Zi Yuan Xi: "Last year's Lantern Festival, the flower market was full of lights."

Sheri

The day when farmers offered sacrifices to the land gods. Before the Han dynasty, there were only spring clubs, and after the Han dynasty, there began to be autumn clubs. Spring club is around the vernal equinox, and autumn club is around the autumnal equinox. On the social day, neighbors gathered in the land temple to prepare wine and meat to sacrifice to the gods, and then held a banquet. The Wangs' "Poetry of Social Day" "Sang Zheying left the Spring Society and everyone was intoxicated."

An outdated festival (Qingming Festival) that started one or two days ago in Tomb-Sweeping Day, when only cold food is served for three days.

Two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day, that is, after the winter solstice 105, sometimes 106. Legend has it that it originated from Jin Wengong's mourning for Jie Zhitui, who lived in seclusion in Mianshan. Jin Wengong forced him to let Yamakaji go, and he clung to the tree. Jin Wengong banned fire and cold food on this day, which later evolved into a cold food festival. During the Cold Food Festival, people will ban fire for three days. Yuan Zhen's "Lianchang Palace Ci": "After the first cold food of 160, spread smokeless green."

Qingming Festival

The customs in Tomb-Sweeping Day are mainly hiking and sweeping graves. Du Mu has a poem "Qingming Festival": "It rains a lot during Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to die."

Shangsi

It was originally scheduled for the third day of early March, so it was called Shangsi. After Cao Wei, this festival was fixed on March 3. Earlier, people went to the water to pick orchids to drive away evil spirits. Later, it evolved into a festival of feasting and spring outing by the water in the suburbs. Du Fu wrote two sentences for this road: "On the third day, it was sunny and sunny, and many beauties enjoyed the cool by the Chang 'an River."

Dragon Boat Festival

On the fifth day of May, it is also called "Duanyang" and "Chongwu". "Duanyang" means "Chu". It is said that Qu Yuan threw himself into the river on the fifth day of May, and people rushed to save Qu Yuan, which later evolved into a tradition of rowing dragon boats. People also throw zongzi into the river to protect Qu Yuan's health, and there is a tradition of eating zongzi. After the Tang Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival became a big festival, which was rewarded by the imperial court. Du Fu wrote "Giving Clothes in the Afternoon": "Dragon Boat Festival Glory."

Chinese Valentine's Day; Qixi Festival

July 7th. According to folklore, the cowherd and the weaver girl meet at the magpie bridge at night, women make colorful buildings, and old wine and preserved fruit beg for cleverness in court. Ning He's Gong Ci: "The stars are flickering and the Qixi Palace is busy."

Mid-Autumn Festival

August fifteenth. August 15th is in the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, the autumn is crisp and the moonlight is the most beautiful. It is a festival to enjoy the moon. Su Shi said, "When will there be a bright moon? Ask for wine. " Wei Zhuang's "Send a Scholar to Jingxi": "In August, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be over, and you will be sent to the Mulan boat."

Double Ninth Festival

September ninth. Also known as double nine. The ancients thought that nine was the number of yang, and the sun and the moon combined nine, which was called Chongyang. The ancients thought it would be safe to drink chrysanthemum wine with Cornus officinalis capsules on this day, so they had the habit of climbing high and drinking on this day. Wang Wei's "Remembering Brothers in Shandong on Vacation in the Mountain": "I know from a distance where my brother climbed, and there is one person missing from the dogwood."

Winter memorial day

Wax is the name of sacrifice, and the sacrifice to the gods at the end of the year is called wax (so December is called twelfth month). In ancient times, the eighth day of December was the twelfth month, and villagers played drums to drive away the plague. Du Fu has a poem "La Ri": "La Ri is warm every year, and this year it is completely frozen."

New Year's Eve

The night of the last day of the year. Except for the old cloth, it is new. The last day of the year is called "New Year's Eve" and that night is called "New Year's Eve".

Jiuqing Sangong

Both Qinghe Palace are official names. According to historical records, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, both the Zhou Dynasty and the governors had ministers, which were divided into upper, middle and lower levels. During the Warring States period, many countries used it. Shang Qing was the highest official position at that time.

The theory of "Jiuqing" began in Qin and Han Dynasties, and refers to nine official positions: Taichang, Guangluxun, Wei, Tingwei, Taifu, Dahonglu, Zong Zheng, Dasinong and Shaofu.

Specifically, Tai Chang is responsible for the sacrificial ceremony and etiquette of the ancestral temple; Guang Luxun is in charge of the guards and guards of the imperial court; Wei Wei is responsible for guarding the palace gate; The courtiers were in charge of the emperor's chariots and horses; Ting Wei is the highest judicial official, in charge of prisons and trial of cases. Dahonglu, also known as Dianke or Dahongling, is responsible for foreign affairs and ethnic affairs; Zong Zheng is responsible for the management of royal and clan affairs; Dasinong, also known as the internal history of millet management or agricultural order, is in charge of grain, goods, taxes, taxes, finance and so on. Shaofu is in charge of the tax revenue of Shanhai pond and supports the emperor. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a young lady under the Qing Dynasty, which was abolished in the late Qing Dynasty.

The theory of "three publics" also began very early. Sima, Situ and Xi 'an were the three publics in the Zhou Dynasty, and the Prime Minister (Da Situ), Qiu (Da Sima) and Tai Yi (Da) were the three publics in the Western Han Dynasty. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the names had changed, referring to Qiu, Situ and Sima respectively. The three fairs, also known as the "three divisions", are responsible for both military and political affairs.

Examples of naming ancient poetry anthologies

There are many ancient poetry collections involved in middle school Chinese textbooks. The names of these poems include surnames (such as Mencius, Sun Tzu and Liezi), names (such as Cen Can and Lu You), ideographic characters (such as the complete works of Li Taibai) and nicknames (such as the poems of Bai Xiangshan and the complete works of Dongpo).

① Title type. In ancient times, kings often gave titles to their officials, and titles could also be used as collective names. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ji, whose real name was Bowen, was named Cheng Yibo, and the anthology "Cheng Yibo Collection". Wang Anshi in the Northern Song Dynasty, named Jing Guogong, is the author of Wang Shi Zhu.

② posthumous title's style. After the death of a senior official of the ancient emperor, according to the deeds of the deceased before his death, the court gave him the title of "posthumous title" to praise or criticize good and evil. "posthumous title" can also be named as a collection of poems, such as Fan Zhongyan, a writer in the Song Dynasty. After his death, Wen Gong Zheng was added, and his collection was named Fan Wenzheng Gong Ji; Ouyang Xiu is posthumous title Wenzhong, and his anthology is Ouyang Wenzhong's official document.

(3) official rank style. Sima Qian in the Western Han Dynasty was a Taishi order, known as Taishi Gong in the world and Taishi Gong Shu in the history books. Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was originally named Yuan Wailang, also known as Du Gongbu, and his works are also called The Collection of Du Gongbu. Song Lian, a writer in the early Ming Dynasty, was a bachelor of Hanlin, and was the author of Song Anthology.

(4) Original style. In ancient times, people were called by their native place to show respect or modesty and elegance, which was often used as a collective name. For example, Liu Zongyuan, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Xie Xian County, Hedong, also known as Liu Hedong. His anthology is called Liuhe Dongji. Wang Anshi, an essayist in Song Dynasty, was born in Linchuan, Fuzhou. His collection of works is called The Collection of Mr. Linchuan's Works.

(5) place names. In other words, the poetry collection is named after the place where he works or lives in seclusion. For example, Du Mu Villa, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, was in Fan Chuan, so there was Fan Chuanji. Shen Kuo, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Runzhou "Meng Xi Park" in his later years, so Meng Qian wrote about it.

6 style of study. The ancients often named their study after themselves or others, and fasting can also be used as the name of poetry collections. For example, Yao Nai, an essayist in the Qing Dynasty, whose room number is "Xi Baoxuan" and poetry anthology "Xi Baoxuan Poetry Anthology"; In modern Liang Qichao, his study was called "Drinking Ice Room", and there was a book called "Drinking Ice Room Collection".

⑦ Year type. Take the emperor's title as the title of poetry collection. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi had "Bai's Changqing Collection", which was named after it was compiled in Changqing. Su Xun has Jia, Jia has the title.

8 dominant style. Use the title of the book to indicate the purpose of writing a book. For example, Zi Tong Zhi Jian, edited by Sima Guang in the Northern Song Dynasty, was named Zi Tong Zhi Jian by Song Shenzong, whose purpose was to "learn from the ups and downs of previous lives and test the loss of today's trip".

We analyze the cultural roots of our country. Finally, whether it is Laozi, Confucius, a hundred schools of thought contend, the state religion Taoism and other pure China cultural elements, all come from the Book of Changes.

Undeniably, China was greatly influenced by Confucianism. Is Confucianism really a factor affecting China's backwardness?

Yes, but please note that the Confucianism we accept now was really put forward by that son for so many years.

Are you sure it hasn't changed? I doubt it. It can be seen that people who study those classics now wear colored glasses.

It is really sad that Confucianism has fallen to the present. Yes, Confucianism has changed, and some of it has not.

Shameless people's tampering and graffiti have existed throughout the ages, and we can't just want to produce the party and the old hair. Just like that Zhu

It's a scourge, tampering with the family heirloom ideas such as the Book of Changes at will, making it worthless, mainly taking up the glory of Emperor Zhu. I didn't put forward this argument. Some time ago, CCTV had a program about this problem.

The question is really distorted. There is also a book written by Nan, a recognized master of Chinese studies. You can go and have a look. It's really classic

Canon. He also believes that classical thought is not available in any country at the same time, and his thought is particularly meticulous, which is simply unparalleled in the world.

He thinks that these masterpieces are worth reading by every Chinese son and daughter, but don't read the comments of later generations, which is needed by politics in the future.

Pollution is extremely serious, so you should use your own brain to learn, not others', so it is easy for viruses to invade.

Besides, all his works are written in vernacular, which is easy to understand. You can read them. Pay attention to the Book of Changes first, so that we can understand more thoroughly where the later books of philosophers such as Laozi and Confucius came from.

Then why did it decline? It still involves Zhouyi, whose thoughts are relatively open. He is a people's livelihood thinking.

It is believed that the unity of heaven and man should be advocated, and the influence of heaven and man should be equal, and people should live in harmony with the surrounding environment. Man is not the center, but nature is also life.

Man's survival is closely related to nature, unlike Americans who are domineering, regard themselves as God, do whatever they want, and advocate people's livelihood first. Later in that dynasty, there was a clothes hanger who wanted to kiss the emperor's ass.

The concept of "the son of heaven" came out, and there was a quarrel, which turned the people's livelihood of harmony between man and nature into grass for the people. Since then, people have been living in poverty, and political and bureaucratic governments have come out one after another until now.

We cannot humiliate ourselves. What our citizens lack is national self-confidence. If we are temporarily poor and feel that the culture is not as good as others. Wrong. Objectively speaking, China's ancient culture is absolutely excellent. I didn't find any country so good.

System philosophy is not famous, but they don't understand. We should think with our own brains. We should choose the best things left over from the previous generation, but only if we look at them objectively, and then we should study and ask for research. If we don't know them, we should call them dross. Remember, that's the behavior of politicians.

I don't believe that China culture is not the greatest.

To give the most practical example, it is easy for me to understand object technology and extend it with the thought of Zhouyi. The devil gave us fish instead of fish. What is useful on the computer is simple change and invariance, convergence and divergence.

These ideas can let you know why and how.
