[Internet China Festival · Tanabata] Qixi Festival: A poetic holiday can touch people's spiritual depths

The Qixi Festival is here again. Now this festival seems to be the "Valentine's Day" in the Chinese version of the Chinese version. This impression is right. Of course, "Tanabata" is related to love.

How does the legend of "Cowherd Weaver" become what it is today?

The origin of the "Tanabata" was not a love story at first, but the astronomical mysteries found when the ancients approached science. In the early autumn night, looking up at the night sky, the ancients found that there was a star at both ends of the galaxy: the weaver actress was located in the piano seat west of the galaxy, and the glory star was located in the alarm of the east of Tianhe, which was far from the weaver actress. The two stars were difficult to get together, so it was attached to a love tragedy that everyone had since ancient times.

About the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an ancient poem:

Lingling the cattle star, the brilliant river Han daughter. Fiber -fiber hand, Zhazha 杼. Non -chapter all day, weeping like rain. Hehan is clear and shallow, how much is it? Yingying is a water, and the pulse is not allowed.

This poem reads the cattle star and the weaver actress. Two stars have become people, and they can't touch each other, so they wash their face with tears. Then, it became the story of the Cowherd Weaver.

In the Southern Dynasty Emperor Liang Wu, Yin Yun recorded the story in "Novel":

There is a weaver girl in the east of Tianhe, and the son of the emperor. Each year, we woven to Yunjin Tianyi, and the appearance is too late. Emperor pity him alone, Xu married Hexi's cattle, and after marriage, he was abandoned. The emperor was angry and ordered to return to Hedong, but made the annual meeting.

The plot of the story is relatively simple, but the rough outline has come out: the cowherd and weaver girl, each in the end of the world, gets together a year.

Mr. Gu Jiegang has a point of view- "causing ancient Chinese history", that is, a prototype story, and then the "oil and vinegar" of the one -layer, one generation, and generation became what it looks like today. This idea is also applicable in the field of mythology. From the observation phenomenon of Star Su, then the person, the storyline appears, and then to the festival of "July 7 Weaver Woods Marrying and Morning", and then add the details of the Qiaoqiao, the details of the seven fairies, etc. The continuous stack of stacking has finally become a twists and turns.

Since the ancient literati, the passionate Sheng Qixi poetry can be edited "three hundred poems"

As a result, Tanabata condensed into a classic story and became the classic theme of ancient poetry.

According to Mr. Cai Zhenchu's "Song Culture Research" statistics, Qixi Shi Wei is a great view:

According to Ouyang Xun's "Arts and Culture Gathering", from below the "Nineteen Poems of Ancient Poems" to Tang, Tanabata Poetry has 24 authors and 25 works; The author 82 poems (the topic is not included); the topic of the Tanabata of the "Song Ci" has 108 authors of the Tanabata.

In "The Song of Everlasting", Bai Juyi wrote a vow of the Qixi Festival of Tang Ming and Yang Guifei:

On July 7th, there was no one whispering in the middle of the night.

In the heavenly wisdom, wing birds, and the wishes in the place.

Li and Yang swore love in Qixi Festival, probably the well -known in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shangyin ridiculed in the poem "Horse": "The six armies of the six army on Malaysia at the time, at the time, laughed at the cow." At the time of the Qixi Festival, he laughed at the cowboy and the girl could not meet each other.

If Li and Yang laughed at the cowboy weaver, there were actually people envied the cattle and weaver. For example, Du Mu's "Tanabata":

Silver candle autumn light drawing screen, light Luo small fan fluttering fireflies.

The night of the sky is cool as water, watching the glory and weaver actress.

A woman was written in the poem, watching the glory of the glory and weaver in the Qiu Xixi night. Although she didn't write what she was thinking, it was just a space for readers to imagine: she should be envious of the glory of the glory. Although she is separated, she can still be one year, but she may not have the chance to have a chance once a year.

Speaking of the Qixi Festival, there are also articles in the case, thinking that this is not a tragedy, such as "Qiaoqiao Xian" in Qin Guan in the Song Dynasty:

The fiber clouds are clever, flying star hate, and the silver Han is dark. When Jinfeng Yulu met, it was countless but countless.

The tenderness is like water, and the good period is like a dream. If the two feelings are long and long, how can it be in the downside.

Qin Guan's anti -sadness, thinking that love "quality" is more important than "time". If the feelings are not harmonious, what is the meaning of hardships and next day, it is better to meet the happiness.

On the occasion of the Qixi Festival, chanting love, the above is just the representative. Opening Chinese poems, romance can be seen everywhere.

Tanabata is not only "Valentine's Day", but also "Labor Day"

Beginning with the story of the cowherd and weaver girl, slowly has the meaning of "begging". Girls pray that they are clever and advanced in craftsmanship.

According to Liang Chaozong's "Jing Chu Shi Ji Ji", the custom cloud at the time:

"On July 7th, the night of the glory and weaver gathers .... On the evening, the woman got into a colorful needle, wore seven clever needles, or used gold, silver, and vermiculite as a needle, and Chen Guaguo begged in the court."

Qixi, from the chanting of love to the beggar of craftsmanship, and then evolved the holiday content of games and meeting.

The labor connotation of Tanabata also entered the poet's pen. Such as the "Beggar" of Lin Jie in the Tang Dynasty:

Tanabata watched Bixiao tonight, Cowherd Weaver crossed the river bridge. Every family begged Qiaoqiu Qiuyue, wearing tens of thousands of red silk.

This poem depicts the customs of the Qixi Festival, that is, wearing a needle begging. It can be seen that the Qixi Festival was a popular festival in the Tang Dynasty, so that "wearing tens of thousands of red silk."

Luo Yin, the poet of the late Tang Dynasty, has a "Tanabata", which is particularly interesting:

The monthly account of the charter opened, and the two feelings are afraid of the dawn. At that time, people were treated with gold needles, and they had no mood to send it.

Poetry set the heavy responsibility of Qi Qiao on the cowherd and weaver girl. At the same time, they thought that they would get together all the year, for fear of separating every day, and how could there be time to send cleverness to the people on the world? Bar.

Of course, the "Labor Day" in the poem also has anti -tuning, such as Yang Pu's "Qixi Festival" in the Song Dynasty:

If you do n’t want to take the cow, you must invite the weaving women to get the golden shuttle.

Begging every year is ingenious, and there are more than many people in the world.

This is the poet's "stealing the concept". He stole the girls with "cleverness" into "working in the mind". He believed that there was enough "ingenuity" in the world. What else did he go? The poet sang against the festival, and it was understandable that after all, after all, the subject matter of Qiqiao wrote countless times for thousands of years, and of course, he also revealed new ideas. As a result, Qi Qiao was separated from the original intention of Tanabata, with a wider meaning of the times, and became the poet's criticism of the social atmosphere at that time.

Want to sort out the poems of Tanabata in an article, which is actually not enough. This also reflects the rich connotation of Qixi itself. We only understand it today as "Valentine's Day", which is actually narrowing. It is a "festival complex" including love, labor, games, and prayers. It has both text foundation, poetic explanation, and ritual specifications.

Of course, today we want to fully reproduce the various rituals of the Qixi Festival, fully restore its appearance, and have lost its era conditions. But its spirit has actually spread to the present, such as belief in love, hope for life, and continuity of culture.

On the day of Qixi Festival, in addition to the facts of commercial marketing and shaping all kinds of contemporary "rituals", you may also open up rolled poems and feel the poetic of culture. In fact, a poetic festival is a holiday with vitality, and it is a festival that can touch people's spirit.
