    Ching Ming Festival is not only a solemn festival for sweeping tombs and offering sacrifices to ancestors, but also a joyful season for people to get close to nature, go for outings and enjoy the spring.

    Qing Wan is going to take her younger brother Mu Yu back to her natal home to "round up the grave" for her late mother.  Zhen Youqian arranged for his servant Wang Dazi to drive them off, but Xiao Muyu insisted that his teacher Ji Xu also go with him.

    Zhen You said to Ji Xu dryly, "Sir, look at my nephew. I'm an uncle, so it's not easy to discipline me too much. Otherwise, can I trouble you?"

    Ji Xu smiled and said: "It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway. How about this, let talented people go together, after sweeping the grave, I will take them for an outing together"

    In this way, Ji Xu drove the car, Mu Yu sat in Ji Xu's arms, and Zhen Youcai sat in the co-pilot's seat; the carriage was much quieter, only Qing Wan sat in it.

    [1] "Magnolia Slowly. Demolition of Tung Blossoms - Shangque" Liu Yong. Ci

    The tung blossoms are blooming,

    ? Drain the rain at first, wash clear.

    Zhengyan apricot burning forest,

    Xiang peach embroidered wild, fragrant scenery like a screen.

    Allure.

    After all the victories were gone, the carved saddle cyanide suddenly went out of the suburbs.

    The wind warms the strings and pipes, and thousands of families compete to play new sounds.

    Ji Xu's driving skills were top-notch, he drove the carriage fast and steadily.  Seeing that their teacher can do everything, the two children treat Ji Xu like a god.

    The carriage was galloping on the official road on the bank of the Gaoliang River, and the plane trees on both sides were in full bloom.  Just after a drizzling rain, the suburbs were clear and fresh, as if washed.  The gorgeous red apricot forest in the distance is like a burning flame, and the light red peach blossoms dress up the red sorghum that has just sprouted in the field, making the spring scenery as beautiful as a painting.

    ? Close to the capital.

    The outing people came out of the city, all of them went to enjoy the scenic spots-people rode their horses and drove to the outer suburbs; the gentle breeze came, sending bursts of novel and beautiful melodies, which were orchestral music played by thousands of families  .

    The carriage slowed down when passing Yuyuantan [1], because there were so many people here for spring outing.  Seeing Ji Xu's good looks, a group of gorgeous and coquettish singers put the bouquets in Mu Yu's hands in Ji Xu's arms.

    Mu Yu looked at the flower that the woman forced over, and asked Ji Xu: "Sir, what is this?"

    "This is the sycamore flower [2]."

    "Can I eat it?"

    "can not eat."

    "Since they can't eat it, why do they still hold it?"

    "Because the image of the sycamore flower has a 'tranquil atmosphere'; it implies the girl's 'love at the beginning'."

    Seeing the generous singing girl molesting their teacher in front of the students, Qing Wan moved her body to the front of the car, opened the curtain, and watched how Ji Xu explained to her students.

    When I heard Ji Xu use the phrase "the beginning of love", I wanted to dismiss the matter, and said, "What did you tell the two boys about the first love? They don't understand!"

    "You understand, that's fine."

    "I understand, what's the use? I'm not your student." Qingwan listened to Xiuran, and Ji Xu was very good at speaking!  How much can you say?  Today I had a hard time with him, so I smiled and said, "Han Yu said¡ªteacher, so preaching and teaching karma to solve doubts. Students ask you, why are women all over the street holding a bunch of sycamore flowers? It is not good.  It doesn't look goodyou should explain it to them in detail and the ins and outs"

    Ji Xu slapped the whip and said, "Okay! As long as you don't tire of trouble and listen to me, it's fine."

    "I won't listen."

    "Don't listen, what are you doing here?"

    "Look at the 'scenery'!"

    Ji Xu said:

    "Wutong is the flower of Qingming's solar terms.

    Tomb-sweeping season, the spring is peaceful, the scenery is bright, the wind is smooth, and the vitality of spring has been fully released after brewing and incubation; but at the same time, there is "a lot of surplus", and the spring is already waning during the Tomb-sweeping season, and the weather changes drastically.  drift.  "Animals of spirit, touching of objects", the sycamore flower is not only the "high point" of the spring scene, but also a herald of the passing of spring.  This is the "double" emotion caused by Qingming's "two-sided" nature - joy and sorrow.  Therefore, you can vaguely see a trace of 'Xi Chun' from the girl's excited face.

    So, why don't they wave a "dog's tail flower" to show their favor to you?  "

    Qing Wan laughed with a "puchi".

    Ji Xu ignored him and continued:

    "Besides, 'dogtail grass' represents an image called 'secret love', doesn't it???The spring and cold are all over, and one point is still in the tung flower.

    Zhou Bangyan's "Locking the Cold" - dark willows and crows, standing in single clothes, with small curtains and vermilion houses.  Half an acre of tung flowers, silently locked in a courtyard to worry about the rain.  twilight.  Playing places, the main shop is smoke-free, and the forbidden city is one hundred and five.  

    ? Li Yu's "Feelings" - I saw the old branches of the tung blossoms again, and the misty rain on the first floor was desolate.  Who would be melancholy, unknowingly burst into tears.

    "Rain" appeared in all three works by coincidence.  Volume 6 of "Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty" records that after the death of the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Yu "every time in the flowers and moons and evenings, he was always sad"; this song "Respect" is a work of mourning.

    "If the fire ban gave the cold food poems of the Tang Dynasty a lonely and desolate background, the sacrificial and sweeping ceremony rendered this background even more desolate." The cold food in the Tang Dynasty had the custom of sacrifice and sweeping, and later evolved into Qingming sacrifice and sweeping  Tong is a common image in this lonely and sad atmosphere:

    ?Zhang Huichuan's "Cold Food" - After eating in the cold, smoke and cold, sweeping the tung blossoms in every house and alley.

    Xie Jin's "Shangbeiliu" - in March, Tengjiang listens to the rules, and the tung flowers are wet with drizzle.  I know from a distance that every cold food in the village, people go to the grave everywhere.

    ?Political ceremonies refer to imperial power and bureaucrats, feasts and outings refer to literati and ladies, and sacrifices and memorials refer to traditional society; the scope of references is gradually expanding.  Although the tung flower is not impressive, it is daily; the cultural connotation of the tung flower during the Qingming Festival is reflected in our "unconsciousness" at different levels.  ?
