The origin of Qingming

“At that time, everything is clean and neat, the air is clear, the scenery is bright, and everything is in full display, so it is called Qingming.”

To honor relatives and ancestors during the Qingming Festival, I drove or walked for more than 200 kilometers from the noisy city and finally arrived at my hometown, a remote mountain village located at the southern foot of Wuyi Mountain, at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi, and surrounded by mountains.

In the early morning, after the new rain, the spring scenery is bright and the mountains are like black. A group of seven or eight of us walked through the mountainous valleys. The fresh air is filled with the fragrance of mountain flowers, refreshing your heart; on the hillside, red azaleas and white beech trees are blooming; in the mountains, streams gurgling and the sound of cuckoos is heard one after another; on the mountainside, looking back at the village at the foot of the mountain, Smoke curls from the cooking pots, chickens and dogs smell each other, it really feels like a paradise.

The mountain road has eighteen bends, and the old mountain trails have long been covered by weeds. We passed several natural villages in the mountains, which were once bustling places in the mountains. Maybe the outside world is very exciting, or the farmland is returned to the countryside. Because of the forest, these places are already empty of ten houses. Beside the ruined ruins, occasionally only one or two cattle can be seen strolling leisurely in the abandoned terraces.

We went through many obstacles along the way and came to our father’s grave. February 13, 1995, was an unforgettable day. My father left my mother and us siblings and slept quietly in the green mountains and beautiful waters where he was born and raised. I knelt in front of the tomb for a long time, feeling sad and missing even more.

When my father was young, his family was poor and he could not go to school. He could only look out the window and sigh. Since then, he has been alone, traveling north and south, and tasted the bitterness of the world. After he became a township cadre during the land reform, he worked conscientiously throughout his life and was willing to work as a ruziniu. During his lifetime, he valued family ties and had a strong sense of clan blood ties. He is loyal, courageous, upright, enthusiastic about his hometown, generous, eager for justice, and has high prestige among the masses, especially his tribe. For us brothers and sisters, we have strict requirements and earnest teachings.

According to my father, our Xie family in Guanzhuang migrated here from Shuiwei, Kefang, Jianning, Fujian more than 20 generations ago, and flourished. Historically, my Xie family was divided into two main branches: Chenliu County and Kuaiji County. Our branch belongs to Kuaiji County. We moved from Taikang, Henan to Wuyi Lane, Nanjing with the Jin Dynasty. At that time, we and the Wang family of the gentry were all well-known families. Liu Yuxi's "In the past, the king and Xie's family were in front of the hall, and they flew into the homes of ordinary people", which reflects the prominence of the Wang and Xie clans at that time. The most impressive thing is that during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jin Prime Minister Xie An faced the invasion of nearly a million troops by Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty. He rose up in Dongshan (now Shangyu County, Zhejiang Province) and created the famous battle of Feishui, in which a small number defeated a large number, and even reached Bagong Mountain. , Fu Jian's army was in a panic, and all the grass and trees were covered with soldiers.

Thinking about the long journey of heaven and earth, I shed tears with sadness. After studying the genealogy, I found out that the Xie family in my hometown is a typical Hakka. Like other Hakka surnames, the ancestors originally lived in the Central Plains. During the long history of thousands of years, due to natural disasters, wars, famine and other reasons, they traveled southward, migrated, migrated, and migrated again. Since the fertile plains had long been the territory of the indigenous people, they finally chose the vast mountainous and hilly areas of eastern Guangdong, southern Jiangxi, and western Fujian, which were sparsely populated and traffic-congested at the time, as their base camps. They felled trees, reclaimed wasteland, and built dams and fields. "Throw it into the papaya, and repay it to Qiong Yao." Every bit of sweat, every bit of harvest, finally turned the wild mountains of the past into noisy, criss-crossed, fertile, poetic and picturesque, and eventually formed scattered villages. , even a large thoroughfare town with bustling traffic. Relative to the few indigenous residents who originally lived here, immigrants are called guests, customers, and Hakkas. Later, after many years of integration with She and Yao cultures, a unique and outstanding Hakka ethnic group was created that is different from the Han people and the local ethnic groups.

Throughout the history of the Hakka people’s migration away from their hometowns and being displaced from place to place, the theme of hard work, perseverance, and determination to never give up is the main theme that lingers. Our fathers are all imbued with the lofty spirit of our ancestors who were not afraid of hardships, united as one, strive for self-improvement, repay their roots, and love their country and hometown in harsh circumstances. They are full of the profound humanistic connotation and aesthetic heritage of the Chinese nation.

Qingming, warm Qingming, misty rain Qingming, sunshine Qingming! Living on the top of a mountain, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, that place closer to the sky, there is no need to be confused, impetuous, or complaining. "Let your heart calm down gently, and use a clear mood to understand the dialogue between the sky and the flowers and trees." Use an indifferent attitude to listen to the soft whispers of insects and birds, and use an admiring gaze to share the stories of the ancestors. The joy of struggle of the great emperors! It feels like enlightenment and enlightenment, and the mind is also clear.

Tracing the footsteps of our ancestors’ struggles and questioning the pain and beauty of life, the glory of our ancestors has become history. How should we inherit it today? At this time, Lin Qingxuan once said to a small yellow flower in bud: "My dear, don't fall asleep in April!"

Friend, it's Qingming, so wake up too!
