Dragon Boat Festival---the most beautiful mistake

Dragon Boat Festival&1t;/p>

The most beautiful mistake&1t;/p>

When it comes to the origin of Dragon Boat Festival, the first thing I think of was Qu Yuan, so Kaiseki died from Miluo and inscribed this everlasting jg soul.&1t;/p>

However, this is just the most well-known statement. If you take the exam seriously, there are at least two more influential places.&1t;/p>

First, Wu Zixu said that when he was dying and hard to advise, he only further angered the stubborn King Fuchai, and even did not even have the opportunity to be buried in the land to make peace. He abandoned his body in the river. That day was May 5th. After that, the people of Wu felt his virtue and often worshiped and missed him here, and had such a feud.&1t;/p>

First, Cao E said that this woman who lived in Shaoxing during the Eastern Han Dynasty, ranked among the last twenty-four filial piety. Her father fell into the river and drowned. Misconduct. The most beautiful mistake in Wu saw the body. At that time, Cao E was only fourteen years old and cried along the river for more than ten days. Finally, she jumped into the river on May 5th. After five, she and her father's corpse came out. This was a myth. It also alarmed the unfamous scholar Handan Chun, who was the one who wrote Xiaolin, wrote a tribute to praise it. After that, the deeds were passed down and became a famous local celebrity. The local people began to worship on May 5th every year, and gradually became a ritual.&1t;/p>

In addition, there are also statements that originated from Jie Zitui or Yue Goujian, but they have really declined to the point where they can't even pick up legends, so I won't go into details here.&1t;/p>

All three statements are still circulating, and sometimes some boring literati jump out to fight. Most of them just want to fight for the glory of the origin of Dragon Boat Festival and related economic benefits for their hometown. Of course, this kind of thing is originally the believer Huan Xin, and no one can convince anyone.&1t;/p>

But to be honest, these three statements are not very tenable, especially the third statement, which is simply unscrupulously tampering with original historical materials. Of course, I will talk about this later.&1t;/p>

The only common point in the legend of the Three Legends is also the most interesting place, which is time. According to legend, the three of them died on May 5th. The most beautiful mistake of the afternoon went to the river and died. After that, the people in the local area set up rituals and sacrifices in this rimage, but it was too coincidental&1t;/p>

After carefully reviewing the earliest records, what did Taishi Gong tell us?&1t;/p>

Doctor Sanlu has no period of time, and there is only one sentence for reference: the sacred and scattered grass and trees. But at most this can prove that his death was in April or later, which cannot explain more.&1t;/p>

As for Wu Zixu, it was even simpler. He took Zixu's corpse and flew into the river with the zodiac signs. From the various historical records of the Han Dynasty, we can only see the research on the location and the method of sacrifice, and there is no record of the ri period.&1t;/p>

As for Cao E, it was clearer: According to the book of the Later Han Dynasty, the filial daughter Cao E was a native of Shangyu, Kuaiji. His father Xu was able to sing and sing, and was a witch. On May 5, 2018, he was in the second year of Han'an, and he drowned and could not get any corpses. At the age of 14, E cried along the river, and kept silent day and night. After seven thousand, he jumped into the river and died. In the first year of the Yuanjia period, the county magistrate Shang buried E on the Jiangnan Road and erected a monument.&1t;/p>

That is to say, May 5th is Cao E's father's taboo. Cao E jumped into the river on May 22nd, so at least at that time, it was impossible to commemorate her on May 5th. By the way, I passed by Shaoxing in 2004 and also specifically checked the local commemorative texts about Cao E. It turns out that Cao E, a famous filial daughter in Chinese history, jumped into the river on May 5th. The custom of Dragon Boat Festival was the result of this. To be honest, I felt really powerless at that time.&1t;/p>

So, who has determined this ri? We continue to search and select the ancient books we can still find now. There were no Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin Dynasties, and there were no ones. Until the Southern Dynasties, we would not have found a book called Jingchu Sui Shi Ji. Under the May Story, there is such a record.&1t;/p>

On May 5th, the custom of Qu Yuan jumping into Miluo, hurting him to die, so he ordered boats and boats to save him. Boats and boats took their light and profits and called flying ducks. One thought they were a navy army, and the other thought they were water horses. The generals and scholars all came to the water and looked at it. The stele of Cao'e of Chun, Handan, said: On May 5th, when we welcomed Wu Jun and went up against the waves, it was flooded by the water. This is also the custom of Eastern Wu, and the matter was in Zixu, and it was not related to Quping. The Yue Dynasty was spread from King Goujian of Yue, and it is not detailed.&1t;/p>

By the way, the so-called Cao'e stele is the stele that Cai Yong wrote a young woman in yellow silk, grandson Yuji, and finally killed Yang Xiu indirectly. However, this stele could not be found in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although there were many versions of the saint who wrote the book "Cai Bian" in person, the stele was still very proud to carry three hundred years later. The tomb of the stele should fall into the river. Should it fall into the river? If it falls, it will be a prophecy of Wang Kuangzhi, and this, considering the long history that we Chinese literati have used for random creation of ancient books, I have always been for reference only and will not be accepted.&1t;/p>

It is still very happy to see the records recorded in the Sui Shishi. It confirms all the three legends in a paragraph. It is really efficient. But if you look closely, it is a bit wrong.&1t;/p>

The common word Qu Yuan threw Luori, which is a common word, used to make Pili Yangqiu, also proves that the author himself has no confidence to implement this point, just to record this thing that everyone said.&1t;/p>

As for welcoming Wu Jun to go against the Tao, let’s compare Fan Ye’s writing on May 5, 2018, the second year of Han’an, and the Jiang Su Tao in Yu County was very obvious. It was obvious that it was just a religious activity. If you want to say that this god is Wu Zixu, first, there was no strong evidence, and second, Wu Zixu seemed to have no love for Yuedi. In terms of emotions, he probably wouldn’t be willing to go to bless Goujian’s descendants. Therefore, Wu Jun and so on can only be regarded as a romantic emotional work of writers. His value in verification can only be regarded as a circumstance of such a legend during the Eastern Han Dynasty.&1t;/p>

So, why, from the historical books, the death of Qu Yuan, who was more likely to be born in April, and the death of Wu Zixu, which seemed to be impossible to confirm, will be highly consistently locked on May 5th by public opinion hundreds of years later&1t;/p>

Here, please allow me to start talking about two other stories. One is about Yue Fei and the other is about Shi Kefa.&1t;/p>

Today, in Chizhou City, Anhui Province, there is a Qishan Scenic Area with a Cuiwei Pavilion on it. It was built by Li Bai's poems when he was an official in the late Tang Dynasty. However, today, everyone knows that this place is more because of Yue Fei.&1t;/p>

In the first year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei went north to fight against the Jin Dynasty, passed by Qishan, and was invited by local celebrities to visit Cuiwei. Yue Wumu climbed the mountain and looked into the distance. He saw the Yangtze River as a training ground and the pastoral paintings. He remembered Wang Dao's intention to resolve the crowd. He felt that the barbarians were occupying the north, and the time was no longer waiting. He helped the 17th quatrain, which was: In the year of the Conquest, the dust was full of clothes, and he specially looked for the fragrance to Cuiwei. The mountains and rivers were not enough to see enough, and the horse's hooves urged the moon to return brightly.&1t;/p>

According to history, after Yue Fei wrote a poem, he immediately rushed down the mountain after raising three cups and went north overnight. At that time, someone carved a stele and circulated. Although it was destroyed for the false things later, it was fair and free to the hearts of the people since ancient times. Yue Fei was loyal to the country, but he was so poisoned. All the heroes in the world were too jealous. The people in Chizhou would organize the so-called Qishan Temple Fair before and after Yue Fei was afraid of hiding every year. In terms of face, it was said that he respected the gods of heaven and earth, but in fact he was chasing Yue Fei. Judging from the notes of the Song people, none of the local officials who understood it at that time dared to take advantage of the world's great worries and infringe on the anger of the public. Even among the officials, some people would often contempt and make some sacrifices.&1t;/p>

Another.&1t;/p>

Shi Kefa struggled to guard Yangzhou and finally died exhausted. He hated him very much. Of course, he would not set up a temple to worship him. Although the tomb of Shige tribe was still left, the people would not allow the people to worship him. Since then, the people in Yangzhou have a trend of worshiping the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin, and even prostitutes and begging households have set up a house. When every day the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the whole city was seriously chanting Shi Gong, I believe that no Han person would really think that these incense was set up for the robber leader in the Northern Song Dynasty.&1t;/p>

The story is over, but I still don’t want to get back to the main topic immediately. I will talk about what May 5 is.&1t;/p>

In fact, the fifth day of the fifth month, worshiping the river god, performing boats and boats, and warding off evil spirits and seeking blessings is simply the inherent custom of the people in ancient China. Their qualifications are far beyond the year when Qu Zi threw himself into the river, let alone Wu Zixu or Cao E.&1t;/p>

A long time ago, when the Hanming Dynasty had not yet dreamed of Buddha, when the Five Barbarians had not yet invaded China, when Aguda Temujin and Nurhaci were still just a distant future, China had five most important festivals.&1t;/p>

The first day of the first lunar month, the third day of the third lunar month, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the seventh lunar month, the ninth lunar month.&1t;/p>

The first day of the first lunar month is the three-yuan ri, which is the first day of the year, the first day of the four seasons, and the first day of the twelve months. Until now, it is still very important.&1t;/p>

On the third day of the third month, it is the Shangsi River. On this day, the people will go to the shore of the river, and the witches will hold a ceremony to eliminate disasters, cure diseases, and wash away dirt. Later, especially after the Jin Dynasty crossed the south, it was combined with the children of aristocratic families and gradually evolved into outings. At this time of year, people with conditions will leave the city, recite in the wind, and drink at the water. It is called the scholars and people going out of the river and ponds, which is a drink of a stream of water. However, today, this festival has basically disappeared.&1t;/p>

On the seventh day of the seventh month, it is a rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous rigorous

On the ninth day of the ninth month, today is called Chongyang, which is a son who respects the elderly. However, at that time, it had nothing to do with filial piety and was also a son who was similar to March 3. It originated from leaving home to avoid disasters, and later forms usually involve family members and having a banquet and having fun.&1t;/p>

It should be pointed out that in ancient times, productivity was extremely low, and the people at that time had never had good interest in setting festivals and entertainment. At that time, every festival was more important than production. It was also why those ancestors who were slashing and burning gave up their work and passed these festivals seriously with respect and expectation.&1t;/p>

The five ancient festivals are actually five evil spirits that our ancestors believed deeply. I believe that this day requires worship of ghosts, gods and other unknowable existences. I believe that this will bring peace to the next few months. Strictly speaking, each so-called festival will make our ancestors worry and torture from the time they came out.&1t;/p>

And seriously, May 5 is the most fierce day among these five.&1t;/p>

In traditional customs, May is called the evil moon, and it is mostly forbidden. It cannot be drying quilts or building a house, especially the last one, and there is even a special ban. It was made after the Qin Dynasty unified the world. It was not changed during the Han and Wei dynasties. It can be said that it has tenacious vitality.&1t;/p>

May is the bad month, and May 5 is the bad month in the bad month. On this day, people should generally leave home and go to the suburbs, drink realgar wine, and draw specific symbols on the children's faces. Mugwort should be hung on the door to prevent poison gas, and tied five silk ribbons to their hands to protect them from swords and weapons. On this day, they should also worship the dragon god of the river and seek the unknown protection. Legend has it that the children born on this day will harm the mother, and the men will backfire their father.&1t;/p>

By the way, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was born on May 5th, so he was taken out of the palace to raise him since he was born and was not allowed to return to the palace. Well, from the final history, it was really a bad thing to lose, and he shouldn't have been taken back.&1t;/p>

In short, on this day, any large-scale commemorative, sacrificial and blessing activities are justified and no one can say anything. It is precisely this that led to Qu Yuanji being finally locked on this ri. At the same time, this greatly enhances the presence and significance of this ri, and allows it to stand out in the end. After thousands of years of time and countless cultural catastrophes, it has been winding to this day.&1t;/p>

Looking back at the past, let us calm down, think about it carefully, think about the past&1t;/p>

Qu Yuan, he is Jierandu, 1i, in that turbid and unborn life, he is loyal and capable, and has no way to serve the country. Finally, he passed away with hatred, leaving behind a prophecy that seems to be equivalent to a curse in the eyes of those who are interested. Huaisha says: "The way forward is the next time, and it is ignorant and ignorant; it is so sad that it is limited to greatness. In this case, it is really impossible to rely on King Qingxiang or Zilan to organize the commemoration of him. Even tolerate tolerance, they will never do it."&1t;/p>

However, the court was ruthless, but the people could not be unrighteous. With compassion, they began to use their stubborn and superstitious mood to offer sacrifices to this giant whom they had believed would become a god.&1t;/p>

But this is very dangerous. Facing the anger of the court in front of the court may cause people to lose everything in that era. Therefore, after a long-term fight between feelings and reason, smart people finally began to think of better solutions.&1t;/p>

That is, in later generations, the methods used by the people who also had a heart of remembrance were used by King Yue'e and Shigemen.&1t;/p>

Borrowing the rituals of everyone who have nothing to say, the rituals can be held publicly, just like the Qishan Temple Fair and the Jiuwenlong Shijin, the grand and righteous movements are helpless but sincere nostalgic heart.&1t;/p>

Later, time has changed and no longer needed such fakes, but time has accumulated, it has deeply imprinted this rikan into people's hearts. It is basically a culturally uncultured people. It is difficult for them to truly understand when the real rikan was at the beginning. They believed that it was the rikan. Year after year, in the end, the trickle of quietly circulating in the countryside has become a powerful river, rolled back to the temple, and began to cleanse the memories of the literati.&1t;/p>

May 5th, the custom of Qu Yuan throwing into Miluo. In my heart, this place is as convenient as the national style, like the earliest words that must have been rough and straightforward. After being silently circulated for a while, I finally came to the History Museum, forcing the scribes to record it and recognize it and inherit it. Although out of academic persistence, they still marked the suspicious word of this point, but it is useless. The fact is that May 5th, Sanlujiri, has become the common memory of all Chinese people for thousands of years, and has become the cultural bloodline that we inherit and inherit together. It has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the descendants of Yan and Huang. In comparison, a custom of a person is a record that no one cares about.&1t;/p>

The same reason can also be used to explain the legend about Wu Zixu, similar backgrounds, similar achievements, and similar encounters, so he received similar treatment: although he was deeply missed, only in the Chongwu year, this unfortunate giant who had witnessed the peak of Wu Kingdom can enjoy a little public offering and nostalgia under the cover of traditional customs.&1t;/p>

As for Cao E, it was just an accident, but in her father's profession, it was inevitable: on May 5th, Shutao Poswai welcomed the gods, which was originally the responsibility of being a witch. When countless witches complete various rituals on the rivers on this day every year, one of them fell into the water, which was an inevitable event that would arise every year.&1t;/p>

Therefore, May 5th is not a taboo for Qu Zi. If you have to strictly examine the oldest rules and choose to worship him on this day, it would be just a mistake.&1t;/p>

But what does it matter? That is a beautiful mistake, a mistake worthy of our deep remembrance. That is even more of a lucky one, the lucky one of May 5th, and it is also a glory, the glory that our Chinese culture continues to inherit.&1t;/p>

There is a couplet in Yue Temple in Hangzhou: Qingshan is fortunate to bury loyal bones, and Baiyao is innocent to cast treacherous ministers. Qingshan is fortunate to have been entrusted with Wumu, and no one dares to hurt him from now on. Baiyao is so innocent that he has cast a figure of Qin Wan, and has been spitting all over his lifetime.&1t;/p>

We can see many similar things, such as caring for the past and protecting the beans, loving the house and being a slut, Strictly speaking, this is also a kind of ascension to heaven, but it can make people extremely touching.&1t;/p>

Looking back at the oldest festivals: 33 Shangsi, almost no one remembers it now. 77 begging for skills, even one-fifth of the 14th and 50th of the 2nd month of the Gregorian calendar. It was only because it transformed itself and was successfully linked to filial piety, so that it can still be inherited as an ancient festival recognized by the state.&1t;/p>

In the end, it was May 5th, the evil in this evil month, one of the most fierce days of the year, became the most familiar and friendly son of people, and became the beautiful son who accompanied various festival activities, and also absorbed many customs that were originally unrelated to them.&1t;/p>

In fact, after a little proof, you can see that there were two times when eating rice dumplings in ancient times, one was the cold food and the other was the summer solstice, which had nothing to do with May 5. Moreover, from the perspective of food, it was absolutely not in line with it. I can guarantee that you would never want to taste the zongzi again with realgar wine.&1t;/p>

The fifth day of the fifth month, Dragon Boat Festival.&1t;/p>

Sometimes, because of the existence of a person and a name, it can add huge value to the entire place or the entire space. This is true of the Dragon Boat Festival. The original superstition that was originally a primitive superstition that avoided disasters and polite God, but because of the blessing of combining it with Qu Yuan, it has been passed down for thousands of years and has expanded its influence overseas.&1t;/p>

In the first place, it was the Dragon Boat Festival that provided protection for Qu Yuan, allowing him to enjoy people's nostalgia and sacrifices more quietly. However, in most places, it was Qu Yuan who protected the Dragon Boat Festival. It was his noble personality and great influence that transcended time and space, which allowed this ri to be immortal with him and inherit from generation to generation. If this was not the case, perhaps, today, no one remembered such a festival in ancient times.&1t;/p>

On the fifth day of the fifth month, we eat rice dumplings and race boats. At the same time, we must not forget history, we must not forget what we lived more than two thousand years ago, we must not forget the loyalty and persistence to the country, we must not forget the persistence of the heart that is sincere and thoughtful, and we must never forget the long-lasting and long-lasting thoughts. This person has passed away for a long time, but we should always remember everything, remember how one should be loyal to one person, remember how one should be dedicated to one person, remember how one should be persistent.&1t;/p>

Please remember: Qu Yuan's death was to worry about his country. He was not mourning for his power, position and wealth, otherwise he could turn back at any time. He fought for principles and was defeated because of principles. In the end, he died for principles. Until the last moment, what he cared about was the fate of Chu.&1t;/p>

Please remember that even the Taishigong once doubted: Qu Yuan used his talents to travel to the princes, and no country could tolerate him, but if he ordered him to remember, he finally found the answer for himself: a person who truly loves his country can only go with life and death, and he has no other choice.&1t;/p>

Remember that we can face it correctly, continue to move forward and move towards the future.&1t;/p>

Please remember, when another Dragon Boat Festival is coming, please remember.&1t;/p>

Kong Zhang's name was 16 June 2007 rig&1t;/p>
