What does the beginning of spring mean?
It means that the traditional Chinese 24 solar terms are ushering in a new reincarnation.
The beginning of spring is not only the transition of the natural seasons, but also an important time node in Chinese culture.
At this new starting point today, we ushered in the revision of the WeChat version of the 24 solar terms series of Xiangshan Park, through the customs in the solar terms or the display of characteristic plants in the solar terms, as well as the connection between the scenic buildings in Xiangshan Park and the solar terms. Lead you through the 24 solar terms in Xiangshan.
Lichun is the first of the 24 solar terms, and it occupies an extremely important position in China's agrarian society. As the first of the twenty-eight views of Jingyi Garden, there is a couplet describing the harvest scene of agricultural mulberry.
Qinzheng Hall Qinzheng Hall is the most iconic building of Xiangshan Jingyi Garden as the royal garden in the Qing Dynasty, located in the east palace gate of Xiangshan Jingyi Garden, which was the place where Emperor Qianlong governed the government.
There are five main halls of the Qinzheng Palace, and five rooms are equipped with halls on the left and right. The hall is a single eaves rest mountain type, the eaves are decorated with golden dragons and seal paintings, and the lintel is hung with Han gold characters "Qinzheng Palace" plaque.
The red lacquer floor in the middle of the hall is flat, the wooden gold-pasted nine dragon carving throne is displayed on the throne, the poem screen of the Qianlong imperial system "Qinzheng Palace" is displayed behind the seat, the bookcase is displayed against the wall on both sides of the throne, the north wall is hung with the Qianlong imperial system "Jingyi Garden Record", and the south wall is hung with the Qing court painting "Xiangshan Map".
The golden pillar in the hall said: "Lin Yue Yingxiao Yiliao is a hall of the emperor's ceremony", and the lower link says: "The pine wind spreads the day and leaks the four fields of agriculture and mulberry to paint the map". Roughly speaking, the moonlight shines through the woods on the emperor and ministers, who are still diligent in government affairs, and they gather to study the governing rules left by the previous emperor; The breeze through the pine forest brings the sound of the dawn of the change of time, and the four fields outside the hall can see the harvest scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment, busy with farming.
Here this couplet shows that "diligence can be exchanged for the people's peace and contentment", which is what the couplet wants to convey to us, and also conveys that "people are diligent in spring to early", watering the land with sweat and creating a better life with diligence has always been an eternal truth.
Soon after the beginning of the spring solar term, the traditional Chinese festival is the Spring Festival, and the current Qinzheng Hall is full of jubilant red lanterns in front of it, symbolizing the arrival of the new year and the breath of spring. The weather will gradually warm up, you may wish to come to Xiangshan, enjoy the antique Qinzheng Palace, think about the farming culture of the year, and feel the vitality of the approaching spring.
