1. In the long summer, the flowers blooming in spring withered, the swallows on the eaves came out of their shells to feed, and the leaves of Sophora japonica began to flourish. Under such a landscape, Lu You, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote Long Summer:
The red flag was planted on the gate, and Dong Jun drove home. Mud nests are noisy and flowers are scarce. The shade of Sophora japonica is dense at first, and the curtain is still slightly hot. Soak a soup in the sunset and try on clothes skillfully.
His first "Long Summer", the first pair of couplets and couplets created a lofty artistic conception; Summer came to Chi Di, and the national flag was planted on the head of the city. In the spring, Dong Jun packed up his army and left. In summer, the new swallows are playing with mud and building new nests. All the flowers withered and there were fewer bees than before.
Neck couplet and tail couplet focus on scenery, which also makes the whole poem more poetic. The locust trees outside are lush and luxuriant, and it is very hot outside, which is also the most charming appearance in summer. Every evening, you should take a bath, put on new summer clothes and prepare for the hot summer.
Xiang Anshi, who is also a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, also wrote Two Famous Works of Summer South Wind. The first part "according to this scenario:
The city is full of willows and green willows, flying freely with the spring breeze on its back. However, Huayang was brilliant. At that time, she packed up and returned to spring.
His first "Summer South Wind" is two masterpieces. Part I is also beautifully written, and the first two sentences are even more ingenious and write new ideas; The gutter in the city is lush in the breeze and looks very spectacular and beautiful. Because the face is facing the wind, the willow is free in the spring breeze. Only Huayang has the most ideas. By this season, spring has ended, and finally it is summer.
Yan Wu, a poet in Ming Dynasty, wrote "Mr. Yosuke will not go to the summer suburbs":
It's not too late to mend after a spring outing. The shade on the ground is like a cloth mat and a poem. A few days first won't do any good, and then it's no wonder. People who laugh at killing grass in the east of the city never know.
Yanwu's poems also describe the scenery after spring. It is said that many flowers begin to fall after spring, and it is not too late to catch the tail of spring and go for a spring outing. In the long summer, green leaves are different every day. This is their home. This kind of fresh shade, which is both dense in summer and green with new leaves, is projected on the ground to form the most beautiful green space. When you play here, you will meet catkins flying all over the sky and scattered peony grass, which are quiet and beautiful, just like late spring. And the temperature is comfortable, or sitting or drinking, there is a kind of green cave beauty.
Second, the long summer is not only beautiful, but also an important harvest season for farmers. Not only the crops in the field, but also many fruits and vegetables are in the most delicious moment. In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Youzhi recorded the harvest scene in the farmland with poems and wrote "Long Summer":
At four o'clock, the weather urged each other and the wind brought summer heat overnight. Steamed wheat grows in acres and days, and the garden rain ripens yellow plum. Ti Ying's spring has gone to sorrow, and recent love has gone back several times. Sleeping in the south window, thinking tired, watching Huaiyin full pavilion.
Zhao Youzhi's Long Summer is also very interesting. The whole poem has a beautiful artistic conception, but at the same time it is slightly sad. The first and second couplets focus on the weather and ordinary scenery in Xia Hou. The four seasons are different, closely linked and urged each other. Only after the spring breeze overnight will it bring summer heat. The wheat in the field has grown, and the plums in the garden are ripe.
Neck couplets and tail couplets also describe the sentimental feelings inside. After the orioles sing, spring has passed, and there are still worries. Butterflies linger on the residual flowers, only hating the premature death of spring. After a sleep, the wind blowing in from the south window still made people sleepy, so they had to silently look at the pavilion shaded by locust trees.
Zhang Ying, a poet in Qing Dynasty, wrote Twenty-seven Poems on Bamboo Branches in Wumen, which described the festivals of ethnic minorities in the long summer and the fruits and vegetables in the long summer;
Bathing Buddha meets long summer, and cherry shoots come to Tiger Hill. Last night, when spring came back, a toast rose slowly in the new shade.
The long summer season is the Buddha bathing festival of the remote southern minorities. Zhang Ying just wants to go to the nearby Tiger Hill Temple and taste the seasonal specialties here in early summer. Sitting in Tiger Hill's restaurant, I ate the most beautiful cherries and bamboo shoots this season.
The shade outside the window jumped into the curtains, a singer sang a farewell song in the restaurant, and the bell of the Buddhist temple floated faintly. In such a green atmosphere, slowly raise a glass and think lazily and elegantly.
Sun Yunfeng, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, also recorded the seasonal fruit "Youth Tour-Long Summer" in poems:
Last year, today was very dry, warm during the day and bright in the afternoon. Red cherry picking, green plum picking, where to send love.
Today last year, it was also a long summer, but there was a sun. The sun is shining and the noon wind is blowing gently. The poet and his family are picking cherries and eating green plums in the yard. Cheerful, fresh and smart home beauty is vivid in my mind.
Third, the long summer season also has its own customs. Chang Qing, a poet in the Song Dynasty, described Chang Xia's small study for weighing people in his poem Chang Xia:
The days in southern Xinjiang are long and the spring in northern Xinjiang is noisy. The new taste is nine meats and thirteen vegetables, and no village is called a person.
According to legend, the custom of saying "Man" in the Long Summer originated from Dou in the Three Kingdoms period. Because Liu Bei fought in the north and fought in the south, it was inconvenient to take Adou with him, so he was escorted by Zhao Yun and raised by Mrs. Sun. As a stepmother, Mrs. Sun was afraid that others would say that she abused Dou, so she called Dou in front of Zhao Yun. Today, it is in the long summer. Next year, Chang Xia once again said that if you gain weight, it will prove that there is no abuse. Later, it was introduced to the people and became a custom.
Lu You, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, also recorded another long summer custom "drinking tea" in "Living in seclusion in early summer".
The new crop of bamboo shoots has matured, and the magnolia has just begun to blossom. Alas, let bygones be bygones, who * * * will sleep in afternoon European tea.
As the saying goes, "if you don't drink long summer tea, summer will be bitter." On the day of long summer, drinking tea is essential. According to legend, seven teas in the long summer originated in the Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, residents of the capital offered tea to their neighbors or invited them to have tea at home, which led to the custom of drinking tea in the neighborhood. Later, when the capital was moved in the Southern Song Dynasty, the original Kaifeng residents brought this tradition to the new capital Hangzhou, and the custom of eating "seven teas" spread in tea towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
In order to facilitate the understanding of Chang Xia's poems, let's introduce some knowledge about Chang Xia:
Long summer is the seventh of the 24 solar terms. Long summer is the long summer in traditional astronomical time, that is, from the day of long summer, from spring to summer. In the long summer, the temperature rises and accumulates rapidly, and the ocean brings a lot of precipitation to the inland, which is the time when many trees and vegetation enter the vigorous fruiting period and mature period.
If spring is an ocean of flowers, then summer is a green world, with green mountains and green waters, towering vegetation, mature Xia Guo, early wheat harvest in the fields, green rice fields, full of lotus flowers, and sunshine and green coexist.
Folk activities in the long summer are also very interesting, such as weighing people, observing physical changes in summer and keeping in good health. Children will also have picnics in the long summer, and they should ask their neighbors about the rice, beans and bamboo shoots used to cook long summer rice. Children can dig bamboo shoots in other bamboo gardens and pick beans at will in the fields. When the host sees it, he won't scold, but will answer with a smile.
In the long summer, people eat in time, adjust the pace of life, and throw themselves into the natural sequence with rich long summer customs such as colorful diet and interesting entertainment.
