Ancient poems about spring and cold food

Author: Zhu

Beautiful spring outing in Surabaya, the endless scenery is new.

Everyone can see the face of spring, the spring breeze blows flowers open, thousands of purple, and the scene of spring is everywhere.

Literally, this poem is the author's impression of spring outing. According to the age of the author's life, when this poem was written, Surabaya had already been occupied by Jin people, and swimming in Surabaya was not a real thing, but a virtual one.

The author has never been to Surabaya, but this poem was written in Surabaya. The reason is that Zhu's psychology is subtle, and he likes Confucius. He yearned for Confucius to live in our thoughts, recite string songs and preach the victory of teaching, so he hoped to wander and find incense. So this poem is actually based on Surabaya, the holy land of Confucius.

cold drink and snack

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.

In the Tang Dynasty, on Qingming Day, the emperor announced that he would reward his nearest minister with the fire of elm willow. This ceremony has two purposes: first, it marks the end of the Cold Food Festival, and fire can be used; The second is to remind courtiers and officials, so that everyone can learn from mesons who have made meritorious deeds.

After the mid-Tang Dynasty, several bad emperors favored eunuchs, so that they were in power, corrupted the state affairs and crowded out courtiers. Some people think that this poem was written for this purpose.
