After the vernal equinox, there will be cold food and all things in the world will be clear and bright. From Song to Ming, Qingming and cold food were often combined together, and in the Qing Dynasty, Qingming was cold food, especially when Hanshi Qingming’s grave went to the grave, which continued the memory of sadness and joy of generation to generation. showing the narration of life and death, one after another, an unforgettable trace in life. Dongpo (Su Shi) has said: “Life is just cold food, stress nine, be careful not to waste, change in four seasons, there is no such festival.” Dongpo’s rhythm of life from birth, old age, illness and death in the collection of poems is intertwined with cold food and clear time and space, showing clear and deep feeling.
Huamancheng Life is so clear
During the Ching Ming Festival, Shaoyang is strong and vigorous, breaking the fence of Yin Qi, bringing vitality and vitality. In the Qingming breeze, “pear blossoms are pale white and willows are deep green, and catkins fly over the city,” supporting the youth. Sensitive people are surprised, good times are easy to miss, and life is impermanent. Even the poet Su Dongpo once said: “There are two snow trees in melancholic Donglan, life is clear and clear.”
During the Qingming Festival of the year, Dongpo was invited to a picturesque place to enjoy the flowers. The eyes are full of beautiful flowers, the bars are open, and the wonderful flowers compete for beauty, and love is blooming. One of the groups appeared to be an agate plate with a golden hazelnut cup, and each ordered a glass of spring wine. Dongpo commented, “And I eat vegetables and Fang Qingzhai, I guess if I don’t drink flowers.” In the flowers and admire the spring flowers, keep a mirror heart of dust, reflect the clarity of heaven and earth, regardless of the change of the stars, innocent and not old!
Qingming stone spring Sophora cold food and fire: know the fate, no need
When Dongpo was twenty years old, he won the gold list and wrote the highest honor record in the palace exam, most of which is when his life is full of flowers. Later, there were unusual ups and downs on the road of life, and his mentality also went up and down several times.
At that time, Dongpo violated the way in the old and new party disputes. When he was arrested and imprisoned on the brink of death, he was sent back from Guimenguan with the help of a nobleman and exiled from Huangzhou. At that time, his relatives did not dare to hear from him, they did not dare to leave letters or words. Dongpo’s family reclaimed vacant lots with strenuous efforts. Poet friend Saint Liozi (Taoqian monk), traveled thousands of miles to Huangzhou, sent heat in the snow, and stayed with him in Dongcheng for a full year.
Once, Dongpo and Sanliaozi traveled together in the western mountain of Wuchang and wrote poems in their dreams. After waking up from the dream, they clearly remembered the phrases “Cold Food Qingming” and “Shiquan Huaihuo”. Neither of them knew how to get out of the dust. Where is the kingdom of? Unexpectedly, this is a “prophet dream”, and they have entered that time and space nine years ahead of time.
Seven years after the dream, Dongpo became the prefect of Qian Tang (Hangzhou). At that time, Shen Liezi was also practicing there, and the relationship between the two continued. It took another two years for Shenliozi’s new residence to be built, and Dongpo’s cold food that year was about to leave Qiantang and leave for farewell. In the old days, there was a clear spring under Sanliaozi’s house. After he moved home, he chiseled the rocks and watched new springs gush forth. Shen Liozi gathered new tea, built a new fire to boil the spring, and befriended the tea. He smiled and said, “This is cold food and Qingming, Shiquan Huaihuo, nine years ago, the dream was in the middle of the scene.” And the dream has lasted a long time! “
Everyone in the audience was in awe. Dongpo personally experienced “The truth is a dream, the dream is the truth; Shiquan Huaihuo, believe for nine years”, and realized the truth of “knowing fate without seeking” in the face of adversity.
The Buddha does not stay in Sanxia Sangxia to avoid obstacles to practice.
Dongpo brought his son Su Mai to Huangzhou on February 1 of Yuanfeng’s third year and met Zhongchun. At that time, my home was very far away in the southern capital. Dongpo used to go alone with his cane to the river, and the clouds and waves were cold and weak, so people moved too. More than ten days later, a visitor suddenly came to the house. It turned out that his friend Wen Fu’s disciple argued that he had come to Huangzhou and had come to visit especially. The sudden appearance of old knowledge, like the early spring wind, warmed his cold heart. Zibian stayed half a day and said, “Cold food is coming and I must get back to East Lake first” to signal the end of this visit.
Under the light breeze and drizzle, Dongpo said goodbye to the river and watched it travel in a small boat to Hengjiang. Dongpo tackled Xia Aowei’s high hill alone and looked at Zhou Ying in the distance, as if seeing that the ship had reached Wuchang before walking down the hill and back.
In the next four years, they came and went hundreds of times. In the fifth year, Dongpo had to leave Huangzhou again. Looking ahead, the encounter between the two parties may not be predictable, and the feeling of impermanence for a time is very sad. Unfortunately, he recalled the Buddhist saying: “The Buddha (the monk) does not stay in the moor.” He was afraid of getting along for a long time to make way for love and love, and the sad feeling of parting would hinder the practice. This is indeed the truth.
The feeling of separation and reunion in life is between cold food and Qingming.
The breeze from the river is far and wide, and the friend is lost from sight, and in the middle of life, there are many troubles and troubles, and when the cold food is clear, the sound is like a sound. Looking back at the first half of my life, life gathers and disperses joys and sorrows suddenly like a horse, when it comes to cold food and Qingming to go to the grave, birth, aging, disease and death. death are even more emotional: “The middle-aged feeling of separation and harmony occurs between cold food and Qingming.”
Su Shi has a cousin, Cheng Deru, who once shared the growing memories of youth and masculinity: “wildly roaming people to find pears and chestnuts” at the age of fifteen, and “as healthy as a yellow calf. and can’t be trusted. over. ” Time is like a white horse that whistles past his eyes without pretending to stay, there was a time when the yellow calf caught a wind disease and thanked the pen, which aged and put people to sleep.
That year, when his cousin was about to become governor of Chuzhou, Dongpo told him not to let his fame and fame go to waste when he said goodbye, and remember to return to his hometown as soon as possible! Let’s make an appointment with you to sweep the grave at the Cold Food Festival Remember, from childhood to old age, Ewha has been with us during the Cold Food Festival. Ewha will wait for you to come home for nothing, and can also serve us as our cold meal. a year, and there will be a day when I will go to the grave; Cheng Toubai came back early and borrowed pear blossoms for cold food. “
After half life, the nostalgia for life is more vivid during the cold food and Qingming period. Seeing boundless hair and Cangcang suddenly arrive, can’t you be alarmed and the twilight in front of you? The older ones passed away sadly, and the younger generations flapped and left their nests to chase the clouds, and the responsibility of connecting the above and the next fell on their shoulders, solid and heavy.
Thinking back to the life I’ve been through, “I’ll eat cold before going back to sleep, and my kids will sing white beard.” Han Shi goes to the grave to pay homage to ancestors, a bond that unites ancestors and offspring, and there is always a series of alternations of life between generations. From landing a healer to whitening a teenager’s head, leaving and returning home, wandering lives always find their way back to their roots between life and death.
Qingming new fire divided into infinite lights
Dongpo’s life depression was also experienced in cold food. It was the fourth year of Dongpo’s arrival in Huangzhou. From the world’s perspective, it can be said that it is horrible. His “Two Pieces of Cold Food” picks up the mood at that moment, which is more bleak, sticky and painful than cold food without fire.
Before the cold meal, Dongpo was already sick. This horrible disease is really serious, it robbed you of your youth overnight. Continuous spring rain turned into continuous heavy rain, the cabin was like a pontoon, the stove broke and the wet reeds were used up, and the cold dishes were left in the empty kitchen. but I see the black paper. “
The crow that came from where Ming moved the paper in his hand. As soon as he saw it, Dongpo remembered that the first tomb was thousands of miles away, and the imperial court was nine layers away. He struggled in his career and longed for his home in his country, in his serious illness he did not even have the strength to shed tears, his life was like ashes and the wind could not blow. Is this the end of the end of Dongpo?
We saw that Dongpo transformed his life into the situation, let go of everything, no longer moved by foreign objects and escaped the pain and joy of success in life. Dongpo saw the portrait of Li Gonglin painted for him in the Jinshan temple in his later years, and wrote the “Portrait of Jinshan”: “The heart is like a wood that is already ash, and the body is like a ship that is not is tied up. ” . Ask the life achievements of Ru, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou. “You can prove your reincarnation.
That year, Qingming split into new fires. Huangzhou Governor Xu Shijun felt sorry for Dongpo’s long illness and especially gave him a new fire. Dongpo “picked up and carried the wax torch across the empty room, and there was nothing to cook and fry,” and there was nothing to cook at home. Despite this, he wanted this new fire to perform its best function, illuminating thousands of lights with one light, “dividing into infinite lights, breaking ten dim locks” (“Xu Shijun Dividing New Fires”), illuminating the spiritual world of many persons.
Epilogue
After the baptism of cold food, the new Qingming fire ignites the infinite lights of the world. “Endless lamp”, a lamp lights thousands of lamps in the world in ten directions, just as the light of Buddhism illuminates all ten directions, saving countless sentient beings. Dongpo goes ahead, who will be his successor?
