"Cold Food" Han Hong

Flowers are flying everywhere in the Spring City, and the east wind of Cold Food keeps the willows from slanting.

At dusk, candles were passed around the Han Palace, and light smoke dispersed into the house of the Five Marquises.

Note "Spring City" refers to Chang'an, the capital city in spring. "Flying flowers" are petals falling one after another, highlighting the late spring season. "Imperial willow" refers to the willow tree in the imperial garden. At that time, it was customary to break willows and insert doors during the cold eclipse day. The first two lines of the poem describe the day, and the last two lines describe the night. These two sentences mean that during the Cold Food Festival, every household is not allowed to light fires and light lamps, but the palace is an exception. Before it gets dark, the palace is busy distributing candles. In addition to the palace, nobles and favored ministers can also receive this grace. It quotes appropriate allusions to satirize the corruption phenomenon of eunuchs gaining favor and monopolizing power.

"Cold Food Night" Han Wei

Sad and cold, the wind blows, and the little plum blossoms are snowing and the apricot blossoms are red.

Lying on the swing rope late at night, the pavilion is hazy in the mist and rain.

The first sentence of the explanation, "Sadness for the light cold wind in the wind," first casts a melancholy atmosphere into the poem; the second sentence, "The plum blossoms are falling in the snow and the apricot blossoms are red," adds a layer of bright color to the poem. . With these two layers of dyeing, it is possible to bring out the sense of emptiness of the missing "that person" in the third sentence and the beautiful thoughts of "the delicate hands are fragrant." As for the concluding sentence of the poem, "The pavilion is hazy in the mist and rain", it originates directly from the third sentence and is an extension of the third sentence. It pushes the poet's affection and warmth into the pavilion in the hazy rain at night, secretly pointing out his residence. The location and the focus of the poet's mind can deepen the artistic conception and bring out the distant spirit, making people feel vague affection and endless aftertaste after reading. There is no such conclusion, and of course there is no third sentence. As a whole, it should be said that this poem not only centers on the third sentence, but also relies on the upper and lower contrasts to become an artistically perfect work.

"Cold Food" by Meng Yunqing

In February, the branches in the south of the Yangtze River are full of flowers, and the cold food in a foreign country is far from sad.

Poor people often have no fireworks, not only in the Ming Dynasty.

Explanation: Due to the warm climate in Jiangnan, the branches are already full of flowers in February. The first sentence of the poem describes the phenology and seasons. The word "full" conveys the feeling of blooming flowers in the spring of Jiangnan. It's quite natural to be emotionally aroused by such a scene. It should be a pleasure to go with this kind of good time and beautiful scenery, but the second sentence unexpectedly says "sad". The author is a native of Kansai, traveling to the south of the Yangtze River, alone in a foreign land, as a stranger. During the cold food festival, I miss my relatives more than ever, and I can't help but feel sad. In addition, the word "cold food" here, in addition to referring to the seasonal order, also implies eating less or no food, which is a pun, so "cold food in a foreign country" is even more sad. "Poor people often have no fireworks, not just the Ming Dynasty for Zitui." In the poet's view, Jie Zitui is actually a dispensable factor in the Cold Food Festival.

For the poor people in the world, the "Cold Food Festival" is celebrated almost every day, because life is cramped and there is often no cooking, so where do the fireworks come from?
