This Valentine’s Day I had planned to continue to plate eating plate drinking, Home to do a Western-style fast Food, set a heart-shaped fancy food is not difficult, I just hope that the years from now quiet, flowers, flowers, good moon, you love me.
Last night before going to bed to look at the recipes, inadvertently swept to the online news, saying what Wuhan people on the first day of the flower market explosion, Hubei Economic TV reports, said the economic recovery, Wuhan people buy chrysanthemums to celebrate the Spring Festival bullish, what so and so. I all of a sudden, burning – burst – up!
Dreams are hate, this morning woke up still remaining hate at the end!
This Valentine’s Day, Wuhan sister-in-law I want to send flowers, must be to Hubei Economic TV flowers, but not roses, is to send their pen that angry chrysanthemum!
In Wuhan, especially in the old Hankou city Life, all know the first day of the first month of chrysanthemum to the people of Wuhan means what! That is, “burning incense”, also called “burning heart incense “, “burning new incense”, or “burning Xinxiang”. It all means the same thing. It is the first year the Family has a new grave mourners. That chrysanthemum is first sent to the mourning family, and then sent up the hill to the new grave by the family of the deceased.
As long as there are chrysanthemums in their hands, and chrysanthemums inside and outside the house, then the family or the family of this person’s friends and relatives, are just the past year, the family added a new grave! Only families who died in the first year, as well as the friends and relatives of these families, will go to buy chrysanthemums to send their condolences, the fragrance of the heart a few wisps want to break their hearts! Therefore, it is said that Wuhan families who died in the first year are unable to celebrate the New Year on the first day of the first month.
As my family’s genealogy, the Feng family of Jiangxia Dalu has been testifying for 500 years, and the branches and vines of Wuhan are still taking root and spreading their leaves in Wuhan, they all know that Wuhan’s “burning incense” is like this The process of
The first day of the first month from zero hour, that is, New Year’s Eve at 12:00 midnight, in the past year, families with a dead family, will be prepared to incense hall, and their friends, look at the importance of people will even wait outside the door of the family before the zero hour, wait for the first day of the first month of the zero hour, holding chrysanthemums, into the house to the family incense. The valued will also bring some wine and fruit, if you bring fruit, the custom is three of each, offering, and then to the incense case in front of the incense, kowtowing, murmuring two prayers, to comfort the family, and then leave.
The reason why grab zero, is the importance and respect, to make an inappropriate analogy, just like today to go to the temple incense are to grab the first incense, but that is a blessing, this is a memorial. Not to say that the snow in the charcoal, but at least it is a family and friends between the inexhaustible care, not snow on the frost.
Most general friends and colleagues will come early in the morning of the first day of the first month to the family of the first year someone passed away, bring chrysanthemums, into the door to offer incense, New Year’s worship plus mourning, but only before 12 noon. This is the rule.
And this household someone in the first year someone died, whether it is the beginning or end of the year, as long as the family has added a new grave in the past year, on the first day of the first month, but also in fear and trepidation before the arrival of 12 noon, rushed to the cemetery in Wuhan’s Bian Tan Mountain, Jiufeng, Baiyu Mountain these places (equivalent to Beijing people’s eight treasure mountain).
From the city to the suburbs, these green hills buried new graves, the road is a long way, a road of tears, even if it is to drive, the car can not carry a lot of sorrow it! Car with friends before burning incense brought chrysanthemums, chrysanthemums sent to the new graves in front of the hills, for the new burial mound of the soul burning incense, heaven and earth with grief!
This is the burning of Qing incense in Wuhan, this is the use of those angry chrysanthemums.
So I have to scold Hubei TV, you local media in Wuhan, can not know this “burning incense” folklore?
The first day of the first month with chrysanthemums, from 00:00 to 12:00 noon, is the Wuhan people’s Qingming Festival! This is not the beginning of this year, but generations of Wuhan area folklore, and even some other cities in Hubei must have at the end, but the old Wuhan people, all know.
I admit, when I saw that write the first day of the first month of positive energy chrysanthemum, my heart was dripping blood, my hands were shivering, my liver was trembling.
I am not a sister out of Wuhan if I am indifferent and I don’t make a supplementary explanation of the chrysanthemum on the first day of the new year in Wuhan. That the first day of the first month out of the city on the mountain, that flattened mountain, the nine peaks of injustice which, if I do not scold those who live nonsense blind writing, I do not count as Wuhan sister-in-law.
At the moment I am in Shandong, three nine cold winter is almost over, five nine six nine riverside to see the willow, think Wuhan these days is also to go to the East Lake Mill Hill and Botanical Garden to see the plum and red plum Time, and cherry blossoms. That shoulder to shoulder with the sea of flowers and people, but how many people in the gengzi year passed away never to see this earthly spring color it?
Today is Valentine’s Day. But the deepest love, but also can not withstand the affection for each other. The most beautiful flowers and heroes in front of people, not as good as a bowl of porridge, a mother and father call children are still there, a child shouting father has answered.
