Cherish the significance of the autumnal equinox.
The autumnal equinox is half, the yin and yang are half, and the half is just right.
"Kangxi Dictionary": "Divide, half also."
The autumnal equinox is also called "autumn half". This day is exactly half of the ninety days in autumn.
The arrival of the autumnal equinox means that autumn is already half over.
"Spring and Autumn Story": "The autumn equinox, Yin and Yang are also half-phase, so it is cold and summer day and night."
On the vernal equinox, yin and yang are equally divided, day and night are equal, and day is as long as night. Correspondingly, in the climate, the spring equinox season is also cool and hot, comfortable and pleasant.
Among the four seasons, this season can be said to be the best day of the year. There is no heat in summer, no humidity in spring and no biting cold in winter. Instead, it is a cool breeze, blue sky and Wan Li, sunny and not scorching. No wonder the ancients said "autumn is better than spring".
The beauty of the autumnal equinox can be said to be the wonderful use of the word "half" in nature, and it also inspires our wisdom about "half" life.
The ancients had a "half" philosophy. The so-called "flowers are half blooming, wine is half drunk", and "half" is just right, just right, with endless aftertaste.
Some people specially wrote a "Half Song", "He who sees through half a floating life, half a word is boundless, half a year is long, half a year is high-spirited ..."
There is a couplet in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, reminding the world that life can't be perfect, and everything is only half perfect.
Everyone wants everything to go well, but in this life, there are often unsatisfactory things. How can everything go well? "Everything is only half satisfied", so that you can be happy all the time.
San Mao said: "If there is an afterlife, be a tree and stand forever. There is no sad and happy posture: half is peaceful in the soil and half is flying in the wind;" Half cool, half sunny. Very silent and proud, never relying on or looking for. "
Life is half a fruit, half a pain and half a pleasure, rolling in the world of mortals, the world is boundless, half a life, half a life.
And the highest state of life is: half entering the WTO and half being born, and doing the cause of entering the WTO with the spirit of being born.
Equinox in spring and autumnal equinox, balance between yin and yang, cherish happiness is the duty.
Through yin and yang and yin and yang balance.
At the autumnal equinox, the yin and yang in nature reach a balance.
There are two days in a year when yin and yang are in balance: the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox.
The autumnal equinox, like the vernal equinox, is the critical point of the growth and decline of yin and yang in nature: the vernal equinox divides spring equally, and the autumnal equinox divides autumn equally; After the spring equinox, the yang is strong and the yin is weak, and after the autumn equinox, the yin is strong and the yang is weak.
Swallows come at the vernal equinox, and at the autumnal equinox, "Swallows leave tomorrow, at this time of autumn", they can't be seen.
There are three stages in the autumnal equinox: the first stage is when the thunder stops, the second stage is when the insect bites, and the third stage is when the water dries up.
At the vernal equinox, lightning and thunder began to ring, but after the autumnal equinox, lightning and thunder sneaked into the ground. As the weather gets colder, secluded insects begin to hide in Tibetan caves and seal the hole with fine soil to prevent the cold from invading.
After the vernal equinox, the spring water flows forever; After the autumnal equinox, autumn water gradually stagnated. Water is born in spring and summer and withered in autumn and winter, so plants come and go with the seasons.
The vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox are diametrically opposite poles, and the balance is only temporary. After the autumnal equinox, the nights get longer and colder. "An autumn rain and a cold" and "An autumn equinox with a white dew and a cold night."
The same is true in the world. Without absolute balance, prosperity will decline and prosperity will decline. For a long time, for a long time; There are ups and downs, there are ups and downs. ...
In ancient people's mind, the moon is "lunar", and its profit and loss symbolizes the rise and fall of Yin Qi, so the custom of "offering sacrifices to the moon" at the autumnal equinox was established in ancient times, that is, "offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn".
The time of the autumnal equinox in August of the lunar calendar is not fixed, and it is not necessarily a full moon every time. Later generations gradually moved this festival to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Changing "Mid-Autumn Festival" to August 15 reflects a collective unconsciousness of China people: they yearn for perfection, knowing that perfection can only be an ideal, and the real perfection does not exist in fact, but they are still full of yearning.
There is no absolute perfection in the world just as there is no absolute balance in the world. Therefore, for us ordinary people, it is a person's greatest duty to cherish the blessings. We can't enjoy all the blessings and we can't exhaust them. We should pursue perfection in the absence and learn to cherish blessings in knowing how to give up!
