A thin layer of sun covers the city of Beijing in winter, and the white air between the breaths burns a meager temperature.
If there is less snow on a heavy snow day, it is somewhat regrettable, after all, there is always an excessive amount of romantic feelings between this ancient capital and **.
Listening to the snow in midwinter, talking around the fireplace, although I can't look forward to this scene of crumbs and jade, you might as well review the fun life of the ancients in winter.
Warm and cold will. The Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order contains: "Heavy snow, so far and the snow is also abundant." The heavy snow and the winter moon are when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the ancients have the custom of gathering guests during the heavy snow solar term, which is called the "warm and cold meeting".
Write couplet poems on the night of autumn lights, and pour warm cold wine in the spring snow. (Don Bai Juyi), winter has arrived, heaven and earth are slaughtered, and it is the moment when we need to rely on huddles to warm up to defeat the harsh winter emo.
This is a winter Xi that began in the Tang Dynasty, where literati and scholars take turns to be the east, calling friends and companions, gathering together, chanting poetry, drinking and cooling off, outdoor ** for painting, indoor rich and poetic, it is really a joy in the world.
Plum blossom paper tent. In the Song Dynasty, the social atmosphere was released from the outside to the introspection, turning to the elegant and pure aesthetic fashion, and because of the improvement of papermaking skills, the paper tent of "having a large square top on the bed, and using a fine white jacket as a tent cover" was very popular.
It was originally a winter cold protection tool that was widely welcomed by poor families because of its low price, but it was regarded by the scholar class as a symbol of high morality that was poor and happy, and did not seek fame and fortune.
Paper tent plum blossom drunk dream leisure", the literati of the Song Dynasty heavy plum blossom, prefer its cold aroma, in the winter when the cold plum first blooms, the newly folded plum branch is inserted in the wall bottle hanging by the paper tent pillar, so that the plum branch shadow falls on the paper, and the plum fragrance is gathered in a tent. The paper curtain is like snow, cold and fragrant, which is the winter aesthetic code of the literati doctors of the Song Dynasty.
Smell the fragrance and make offerings. The obsession with incense, not only in the Song Dynasty, the way of sending elegant things, smelling incense and purifying offerings, and nourishing body and mind was more prosperous in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the oranges and mandarins of the genus Citrus of the Rutaceae family were even more popular, with the treatment of "new oranges in September and October, dozens of boudoirs competing for the market, piling up the plates and listing the cases, and being the clear offering".
Confessions are divided into "nominal offerings" and "anonymous offerings". Among them, there is a famous offering, that is, according to the festival division, if it is a vase for plum blossoms, a plate to raise narcissus, and then scatter a few Buddha's hands, Ruyi, it is the "year of the Qing offering" before and after the Spring Festival.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, court paintings, there are also many Buddha's hands, citrons and other indoor offerings placed on incense tables, cases, and bed tents, which are not only the observance of the chronological etiquette system, but also the elegant interest of using the Qing offering to enjoy the joy of recuperation in the long boring days of winter.
Halfway through December, winter is already getting deeper.
On this day, the heavy snow did not come.
But you can get a glimpse of the ancients.
Have fun in the midst of a fun winter season.
And step into the ancient Temple of Heaven in midwinter.
I'm also looking forward to seeing you again when I wear white.
