What does Qingming mean? Explanation of the meaning of solar terms clarity.
Qingming refers to the warm climate, budding vegetation and blooming peach blossoms, giving people a fresh, clear and prosperous feeling everywhere. In the Qingming Festival, the climate in Huangjijiao and its vicinity has been refreshing and warm, and the earth presents a quiet scene in spring.
"Huainanzi Astronomical Training": "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to B, then the Qingming wind will arrive"; The "Qingming wind" in the article is a refreshing and clear wind. At the age of 100, I asked, "When everything grows, it is pure and bright, so it is called Qingming." "Almanac": "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to Ding, which is used for Qingming, when everything is clean and bright, and when it is covered, everything is clean and bright, hence the name."
According to the observation of nature, the ancients divided Qingming into three stages: "When Tung began to blossom; Second, voles become owls; The third rainbow is first seen. " The flower letter represented by the Qingming three seasons is: "Waiting for tung flowers, waiting for wheat flowers, waiting for willow flowers." Three flowers bloom, spring is full of branches, spring is full and green is budding.
As soon as Qingming arrives, the temperature rises and the rainfall increases, which is a good time for spring ploughing and planting. Therefore, there are agricultural proverbs such as "planting melons and beans before and after Qingming Festival" and "planting trees is not as good as Tomb-Sweeping Day". It can be seen that this solar term is closely related to agricultural production. Cui Ai's "Four-person Moon Order" in the Eastern Han Dynasty records: "Tomb-Sweeping Day booked a silkworm concubine to take care of the silkworm room ..." It is said that sericulture began at this time, and the "Tomb-Sweeping Day" described in the article is only a solar term, not a festival.

During the Qingming period, the average daily temperature in most areas of China has risen to 12tC except the northeast and northwest areas. At this time, the rain was the heaviest, and flowers and trees in most parts of the north began to grow new green leaves, changing the yellow scene in winter. Magnolia, Jasminum nudiflorum, etc. opened one after another, followed by cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and apricot blossoms. In the south, it is pink, willow green, pear white and vegetable yellow, and many plants enter flowering period. Poems such as "Peach and Plum Laugh in Qingming Festival" and "The original vegetation in rainy suburbs is soft" are vivid descriptions of the phenology of heaven and earth in Qingming Festival.
