In the ancient Tanabata, wasn't it Valentine's Day?In the Song Dynasty, the ancients passed the Qixi Festival like this

Author:Fudan University press Time:2022.08.04

The annual Tanabata is now a romantic "Chinese Valentine's Day". But many people may not know that in ancient times, Qixi was not a festival of lovers, but the "Beggar Festival" of ancient women, also called "Daughter's Day".

"Jing Chu Shi Ji Ji" cloud: "The Tanabata woman wearing a seven -hole needle, Chen Guaguo begged in the court." The young woman prayed to the weaver to pray for the cleverness to the weaver on the seventh day of July. Passing seven consecutive stitches under the moonlight, who is dressed fast and may be "coincidental".

These scenarios are also recorded by Song Ci:

They "begging Qiao Shuang Moth and Painting" (Yan Jidao's "Butterfly Love Flower"), in addition to carefully dressing themselves, also "Fun Qianshi wear a girl upstairs" (Liu Yong "Erlang God").

Different festivals have different scenery and customs, adding a different kind of emotions to the daily life of Zhou and the beginning, and naturally evoke the interest of the literati chanting. There are more than 1,400 festivals in "Song Ci", which involves 24 festivals from New Year's Day to New Year's Eve. Each order has its unique scenery:

There are "Ruiri Baked Clouds, Hefeng Trikes" (Hu Haoran's "Huan Qianying");

Yuan Ye has "Spring on the Spring on the Spring" (Wang Ye's "Moon Moon");

There is a cold food "The moonlight is clear and clear, and countless poplars pass the shadow" (Zhang Xian "Magnolia Orchid");

Qingming has "Disassembling Tung Flowers, Yanxing Burning Forest, Embroidered Wild, Fang Jingting like a screen" (Liu Yong's "Magnolia Orchids Slow");

There is "Mei Lin's first break, the righteous sea grenade is fighting" (Wu Lizhi's "Huan Qian Ying");

Qixi Festival has "Yan Guang converged, the golden hook side falls to the west" (Ouyang Xiu's "Fisheries Ao");

Mid -Autumn Festival has "long sky, no clouds," "paintings are picturesque, and the smoke trees are vivid" (Su Shi "Niannu Jiao");

Chongyang has "dogwood stream blooming chrysanthemum" (Li Gang "Jiangchengzi");

On New Year's Eve, there is "Snow Spring Spring" (Shi Hao's "Hi Qianying").

Such a natural scenery, etc., starts and restores one of the important reasons that evoke the preface to chanting the festival.

There are many special customs in the festival, which is the artificial "landscape":

Lantern Festival, "Flower Market Lights Lights Day" (Ouyang Xiu "Shengcuzi");

The Yongjin Gate of the Cold Food Festival "Blows the Lakes with Lakes" outside the Golden Gate of Hangzhou, and there are "three thousand pink daisters" (monks "" Viewing "); Under the tree, or between the gardens, the cup plate is listed and paid for each other.

Liu Yong's "Magnolia Orchids Slow" cloud: "The city. Find the victory, the sudden saddle is out of the suburbs. The wind is warm and crispy. Every wing. Often, the widow fell into the roadside, and the beads and the green. "

The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival said in Zhou Bangyan: "The corner of the corner is gold, the mug fluster." "("information")

Chongyang is one of the important festivals in autumn. The "Magnolia Orchids Slow" of Jingzhang wrote the Jiu Jiu of the Shu people: "The curtain of the Yaoshi family, the restaurants everywhere." The household, the gods are loud and thunderous. "

In addition to the special natural landscape and folk customs, the prefixes often write the history and legends related to festivals. The cold food was written to the meson that refused to leave the mountain, the Dragon Boat Festival wrote Qu Yuan in Huaisha Shenjiang, the legend of the cowherd and weaver girl in the Qixi Festival, and the myth of Chang'e to the moon in Mid -Autumn Festival. In short, nodes have certain cultural aesthetic value and folk cognitive value. These words are also worthy of reference in terms of skills. For example, Hu Haoran's "Hi Qianying" "Listening to the Moon in the Moon", "Remember the sequence of the festival, and describe the banquet. Zhang Yan also praised Zhou Bangyan Fu Yuanxi's "Xieyu Flower", Star Zu Fu Lichun's "The First Branches of Dongfeng" and Fu Yuanxi's "Hi Qian Ying", thinking that "the consequence of the unique wording, and the prosperity of the timing of the wind , The same feast is the same. "

However, as Zhang Yan criticized, some of the time -promoting work is not only vulgar, but also the same, and for the recipients at the time, those words can not talk about the cognitive value of the folk customs -the recipients There is no historical distance with the creator, so it is reasonable to require nodes to be interesting. In fact, traditional Chinese poetry writing sequences often do not show folk customs as the main purpose. Like Liu Yong, they write festive carnival, such as "Liehua Lights, thousands of households. The trees. Aoshan towering, noisy flute drums "(" Welcome to the Spring Festival "" 嶰 "), such works are not many in poetry. However, he missed his loved ones during the festival, such as Wang Wei's "Recalling Shandong Brothers on September 9"; friends who missed friends in the festival, such as Du Fu's "Send Cen Ginseng on the Nine Days"; I thought about the hatred of the country in the festival, such as Du Fu " The fourth of the fourth day of the ninth day said, "Jiachen's thieves, sorrows are more arguing", etc., which are quite common. Part of the Song Ci Festival inherits this tradition. Su Shi's Mid -Autumn Festival asked the moon and said: "What is the chairman to the other time?" Xiang Ziyi Lantern Festival remembered the tour of the former Beijing Division, and said: "When the river is on the river, the mountains are full of mountains, and the silk is thousands of silk." "(" Jiangchengzi ") Especially Li Qingzhao's Lantern Festival" Yong Yuele "in his later years" sunset Jin Jin "first compared the" Zhongzhou Shengri "and" now "of different time and space, and then used the same time, at the same time, at the same time, The joy of people in the same space compares with their loneliness and sadness, and the two comparisons have expressed the sadness in the festival.
