I have always liked this sentence, which is more in line with my current mentality.
I didn't pay much attention to this sentence when I first read it. Later, I went to middle school for military training. After the boring and tiring training every day, I walked on the gravel road and returned to the bungalow dormitory where water overflowed from the outside when it rained. I lay down and all I could hear was the crooning of crickets.
Then I seem to remember something. For an era with a long history and few records in history books ("July in the Wind" is about the pioneering period of Wang Wen's ancestors), it is linked to more than 3,000 years just through a poem! It is not force or words that inherit history, but endless life.
Some time ago, I went to Houma, Shanxi Province with great expectations to see the ruins of the ancient city of Jin, but I looked around for a long time and couldn't find it. When I was about to give up, I was instructed to go to a village. Next to an unremarkable path in the village, I saw the ruins that I had been looking forward to for many years: a mound more than ten meters square, a farmer's house next to the ruins, and a large cornfield outside. That mound, which is not much higher than the farmhouse, should be the foundation of the Jin Palace in the center of the ancient city! The rammed earth of the city wall, the moat to protect the city, together with the old ancient city, have already been buried by loess. It's not what I expected. I'm a little disappointed.
Immediately, I thought of crickets again. Cricket, who once comforted Zhou ancestors after their work, also sang in this bustling city with the princes and grandchildren of Zhou people? When prosperity disappears, does cricket accompany the descendants of Wang Sun through the spring and autumn cycle?
Everything changes, and it goes round and round.
The poem July describes the universal laws in this universe. The sun rises and sets in the west. The four seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the dynasty has its ups and downs. The end of one means the beginning of another, and we seem to be back to the original point? It seems not. The angle at which the sun rises changes every day, which is the so-called "late autumn". Accumulated, the climate will change, the times will develop, and the rolling wheel of history will slowly move forward!
"In autumn and August, guild directors and Jin Dafu formed an alliance." In the prosperous era of this city, historians left such a narrative, with clear praise and criticism, overstepping status and system collapse, but how can this stop the wheel of the times? (* Note 1)
Constant is the center of life, never leaving the land. When the ancestors of Zhou people cultivated the land between Jingwei and Ershui, they thought of their own food and clothing; When the princes and grandchildren are planning the hegemony of the family in the city, they are worried about the food and grass of the army; People living in this land still expect a bumper harvest of food.
A cricket saw the hard work of Zhou tribe; Crickets once again witnessed the hegemony of Zhou descendants; Or a cricket, silently accompanying people in this land to spend a prosperous time.
Dynasties rise and fall, Gu Chenghui disappears. Now many people don't know that there used to be glory here.
But the land will never die, and life will never stop! Loess buried the old prosperity, but it also gave birth to new life!
When making bronzes, the ancients always liked to add the words "for future generations to use forever", hoping to pass on the blessings from generation to generation through artifacts and pass them on to future generations in distant times.
When these cultural relics were buried, crickets were singing softly on the mound of the grave!
Thought of here, I can't help but sigh! Tears in my eyes! Behind cricket, it seems that you can see an elderly father, silently looking at his children and grandchildren, smiling and blessing them!
Finally, the original text of July is attached: (by the way, it is wrong to see that July is the longest in the Book of Songs, and the longest is the Tang Palace by truffles, which is the longest in the national style)
Fire is full in July, and clothes are delivered in September. The first day I was fat, the next day I was fierce. No clothes, no brown, why die! On the third and fourth day, I stood on tiptoe. And my daughter-in-law. The Guardian said, "Very good".
Fire is full in July, and clothes are delivered in September. In spring, the sun shines and Amin is in the sky. The woman followed with a basket, begging for soft mulberry. Spring came and Qi Qi was adopted. The woman was so sad that she almost took her son home.
Fire is full in July and reeds are full in August. Silkworm, moon, mulberry, take axe fork, cut far and wide, as the mother mulberry. Singing in July, achievement in August. Xuan zai Huang, I, for the childe petticoats.
Beautiful in April, singing in May. Harvest in August and crush in October. A day to raccoon, fox, for the child. The next day, they were still the same, carrying martial arts. Privately, publicly.
In May, geese move, and in June, pheasants vibrate. I was outdoors in July, at home in August and September, and crickets came under my bed in October. The dome suffocated the mouse, stuffed it into the door, licked my wife and son, and said that I would enter this room in another era.
In June, food is depressed and stinging, in July, anemones and stingrays. Peel dates in August and get rice in October. To this end, spring wine, with the help of eyebrows. Eat melons in July, break the pot in August, and uncle in September. Pay for picking tea and eat my farmer.
Nursery will be built in September and crops will be harvested in October. The millet is heavy, and the grass is shelled. Well, I am a farmer. Because I have the same crops, I went to work in the palace. The day is in the grass and the night is in the rope. I was so anxious to hitch a ride in the house that I began to broadcast Baigu.
The next day, the ice was rushing, and the third day, it was blocked by ice. On the fourth day, its flea sacrificed the lamb to the leek. First frost in September, washing the floor in October. Friends drink and say they killed the lamb. When you are in court, you can call him a man with great courage and infinite longevity!
PS: I thought I felt two sentences, but I actually wrote so many words XD.
Actually, I think after reading this article, I think many places are quite funny. I wanted to change it, but I thought about it. The purpose of the complaint has been achieved, and it feels good!
I remember six or seven years ago, someone posted a photo of a trip to Qishui on the Internet, saying that "most of the ancient rivers have been cut off, Qishui is still clear, and the ancient appearance of Qishui Tang Dynasty is faintly visible". At that time, I couldn't help yearning. Later, when the excavation of the Duke of Zhou Temple made a lot of noise, I saw someone say that they must go to Joo Won? to "see my beloved Duke of Zhou" (this is the exact words, I was particularly impressed, and this gentleman seems to be a man). This time I went to see the ruins in the hinterland of Jin, probably out of similar ideas. I hope that I can understand the thoughts and ideas of ancient people's life through the local natural features, but it is still difficult for times to change.
In addition, complaints other than complaints: what about people from the Cultural Relics Bureau? At least the ancient city is also a national key cultural relics protection unit! How come there isn't even a railing! There is a conductor at the gate of Yumenguan!
* Note 1: This passage is basically copied from Tiger Gong's "The Great Power is Clear". I thought it was good, so I used it. I hereby declare that the exact words are as follows:
"This kind of alliance is still described in the Spring and Autumn Annals with traditional etiquette:" In autumn and August, guild governors formed an alliance with Jin doctors. "This word contains praise and criticism, but what's the use? Times are changing, and the so-called "Spring and Autumn Pen" is of no help. How can we stop the progress of auto time theory? "
The so-called praise or criticism is because the owner of this alliance is Zhao Dun, the ruler of the State of Jin. According to the etiquette, he shouldn't take part in the alliance between princes, but he did, and he was the one who presided over the Covenant. But this sentence was written behind the vassal according to etiquette, and his name was not mentioned, because his identity was Qing.
