清明扫墓

“清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂,
借问酒家何处有,牧童遥指杏花村。”
唐代诗人杜牧的《清明》,写出了清明节的特殊气氛。

清明节来临,适逢假期,我跟着家人到汝莱孝恩园扫墓。天未亮就出发到伯父家拿祭祀物品,在附近吃点早餐就出发。像往年一样,先到大伯公庙上香,然后再到公公婆婆的墓地。把所有物品都放好后,所有人就开始给两位祖先上香。之后,再把纸制品烧给两位祖先。(现在的纸制品真的可以和人间的物品一样先进,焚烧纸制品的时候我还看到了LV手袋。。。)

早上八、九点的太阳真的很猛(虽然说早上的太阳有Vitamin),还好我往年都有跟着来,学聪明了,不带帽子就要带副太阳眼镜随身,因为真的很晒。。。焚烧纸制品的同时,我跟着堂哥到不远处姑姑的坟墓去拜拜,之前因为要上课没能出席出殡礼。

纸制品烧完以后,我们等了一会儿,上多支香,就开始享用食物。吃完,清理所有东西后,就离开了。

说到清明,大家都知道要祭拜祖先;说实在的,又有多少个人知道,清明节的由来和传说呢?

我国传统的清明节大约始于周代,已有二千五百多年的历史。清明最开始是一个很重要的节气,清明一到,气温升高,正是春耕春种的大好时节,故有“清明前后,种瓜种豆”。“植树造林,莫过清明”的农谚。后来,由于清明与寒食的日子接近,而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子,渐渐的,寒食与清明就合二为一了,而寒食既成为清明的别称,也变成为清明时节的一个习俗,清明之日不动烟火,只吃凉的食品。

  关于寒食,有这样一个传说: 
 
相传春秋战国时代,晋献公的妃子骊姬为了让自己的儿子奚齐继位,就设毒计谋害太子申生,申生被逼自杀。申生的弟弟重耳,为了躲避祸害,流亡出走。在流亡期间,重耳受尽了屈辱。原来跟着他一道出奔的臣子,大多陆陆续续地各奔出路去了。只剩下少数几个忠心耿耿的人,一直追随着他。其中一人叫介子推。有一次,重耳饿晕了过去。介子推为了救重耳,从自己腿上割下了一块肉,用火烤熟了就送给重耳吃。十九年后,重耳回国做了君主,就是著名春秋五霸之一晋文公。

晋文公执政后,对那些和他同甘共苦的臣子大加封赏,唯独忘了介子推。有人在晋文公面前为介子推叫屈。晋文公猛然忆起旧事,心中有愧,马上差人去请介子推上朝受赏封官。可是,差人去了几趟,介子推不来。晋文公只好亲去请。可是,当晋文公来到介子推家时,只见大门紧闭。介子推不愿见他,已经背着老母躲进了绵山(今山西介休县东南)。晋文公便让他的御林军上绵山搜索,没有找到。于是,有人出了个主意说,不如放火烧山,三面点火,留下一方,大火起时介子推会自己走出来的。晋文公乃下令举火烧山,孰料大火烧了三天三夜,大火熄灭后,终究不见介子推出来。上山一看,介子推母子俩抱着一棵烧焦的大柳树已经死了。晋文公望着介子推的尸体哭拜一阵,然后安葬遗体,发现介子推脊梁堵着个柳树树洞,洞里好象有什么东西。掏出一看,原来是片衣襟,上面题了一首血诗: 
 
割肉奉君尽丹心,
但愿主公常清明。
柳下作鬼终不见,
强似伴君作谏臣。
倘若主公心有我,
忆我之时常自省。
臣在九泉心无愧,
勤政清明复清明。  

晋文公将血书藏入袖中。然后把介子推和他的母亲分别安葬在那棵烧焦的大柳树下。为了纪念介子推,晋文公下令把绵山改为“介山”,在山上建立祠堂,并把放火烧山的这一天定为寒食节,晓谕全国,每年这天禁忌烟火,只吃寒食。  
 
走时,他伐了一段烧焦的柳木,到宫中做了双木屐,每天望着它叹道:“悲哉足下。”“足下”是古人下级对上级或同辈之间相互尊敬的称呼,据说就是来源于此。
  
第二年,晋文公领着群臣,素服徒步登山祭奠,表示哀悼。行至坟前,只见那棵老柳树死树复活,绿枝千条,随风飘舞。晋文公望着复活的老柳树,像看见了介子推一样。他敬重地走到跟前,珍爱地掐了一下枝,编了一个圈儿戴在头上。祭扫后,晋文公把复活的老柳树赐名为“清明柳”,又把这天定为清明节。 
 
以后,晋文公常把血书袖在身边,作为鞭策自己执政的座佑铭。他勤政清明,励精图治,把国家治理得很好。  

此后,晋国的百姓得以安居乐业,对有功不居、不图富贵的介子推非常怀念。每逢他死的那天,大家禁止烟火来表示纪念。还用面粉和着枣泥,捏成燕子的模样,用杨柳条串起来,插在门上,召唤他的灵魂,这东西叫“之推燕”(介子推亦作介之推)。此后,寒食、清明成了全国百姓的隆重节日。每逢寒食,人们即不生火做饭,只吃冷食。在北方,老百姓只吃事先做好的冷食如枣饼、麦糕等;在南方,则多为青团和糯米糖藕。每届清明,人们把柳条编成圈儿戴在头上,把柳条枝插在房前屋后,以示怀念。

揭发我内心性格的测验结果

前几天在马来西亚的其中一个论坛玩了个关于自己的性格的心理测验,结果如下:


大致而言,你算是一個冷靜的人,會讓你興奮的情況有:

1.當你愛的樂團或歌手要來舉行演唱會
2.和情人約會
3.和朋友跳舞的時候。

對你來說,朋友比什麼都重要,你愛好藝術和喜歡詩詞,你喜歡辦 party或幫朋友一起籌劃party,通常你身旁不缺追求的人,但你總 是三不五時碰到一些板不解風情的人。你喜歡戶外活動,即使下 雨天也影響不了你愛好戶外活動的精神。你有時候會嫉妒那些比你 聰明或比你美的人,但當你是個就事論事的人,不會因為私人情緒 影響你正確公正的判斷能力,你和你的父母關係良好,雖然有時你 會覺得快被他們搞瘋了。認識你的人都覺得你是一個可依賴、值得信賴的人


哈哈!了解自己的心理测验蛮好玩的。。。

想听的话

昨天考完housekeeping practical,终于可以松一口气了,因为接下来可以休息两天,才继续考试。考完试就和朋友到Mentari Business Park那里吃东西,当是庆祝终于考完这项我们都害怕的practical exam。

回到家原本打算要睡觉的,洗完脸后精神都回来了,就坐在电脑前上网、听歌,松懈一下。歌曲是没顺着歌名走,因为我按了shuffle,不然每次一开始都听一样的歌。歌曲跳到了新加坡歌手石欣卉和王建复合唱的《想听的话》,是某新加坡电视连续剧的片尾曲。

我突然觉得,每个人应该都有他们自己想听的话吧?而我自己呢,也确实有很多想听的话(当然是赞美的话啦!),不过目前最希望听到的,当然是‘你成功啦!’,或是‘你pass了啦!’。当然不止pass酱简单,我要的是honourable pass!不是我贪心,只是要求grade再高那么一点而已,我不奢望自己可以拿到very honourable pass,如果可以的话我当然求之不得,开心到‘飞’起来啦!

那你们呢?有什么想听的话可以跟大家分享吗?欢迎留言!

看现场的好处呢,就是当广告时间时,你可以知道主持人、明星们在做什么。当天有一段的广告时间,主持人叻哥嫌现场太静太闷,要观众们热起来,于是走到台上要其他三位主持人陪他聊。之后还走到台下,开起陈豪的玩笑,还逗着问他‘为何没带另一半来啊?’陈豪顿时羞得用双手遮脸,也逗得所有观众哈哈大笑。

The benefit of watching LIVE is, you can know what the host or the artists doing during break time for advertisement, which audiences at home will never know what they do. That day during a break, the host Ah Lek said too quiet and he then made the the audience laugh. He asked another 3 female hosts to join him, and then went down from stage and walked to Moses. He teased him by asking:"Why didn't bring 'your half' come together?" Moses felt shy and used his hands to cover his face, and all the audiences were laughing too!!



颁奖礼在大约10点多就结束了,两地的艺人都聚在台上拍大合照,直到所有明星都走到后台之后,我和妹妹才离开现场。

The show end up around 10 something, M'sian artists and Hong Kong artists gathered on the stage to have photo shooting. Me and my sis left after all the artists gone to back stage.



从云星剧场出来之后,我们就走到室内闲逛-漫无目的的逛。妹妹突然说不如到Genting Hotel的Lobby去,那里有沙发坐。上到那里,就看见往酒店Lobby的路围着好多人,路还被封了。当时还不知道什么事,后来想想,应该是艺人们在The Olive开庆祝会吧?果然被我才中了,哈哈!先看到主持人叻哥和老婆秀姑还有三位女主持人,其他本地艺人,香港艺人跟在后头。先有林峰、马德钟和宣萱,然后有杏儿、杨怡、关菊英和黄宗泽。等了许久,又看到了思琦、钟嘉欣、陈豪和李司棋,还有罗冠兰和许绍雄。

Came out from The Arena of Stars, me and my sis walked around at indoor theme park. She suddenly says why don't we go to the Genting Hotel's lobby?There are sofas for us to sit. When we reached there, we saw people crowded in front of The Olive Restaurant. At first, I still don't know what happened there. But then i think the artists will be having their celebration in the restaurant...I guess. That's really, the people shouted very loud when they saw the artists. I saw the host Ah Lek with his wife, Sau Gu what Hong Kong people called her like this also, and another 3 female hosts, other local artists and Hong Kong artists following behind. I saw Raymond Lam, Joe Ma and Jessica Hsuan, followed by Myolie, Tavia, Suzanne and Bosco. After a moment, I saw again Shirley, Linda, Moses and Louise, followed by Loh Gun Lan and Benz Hui.

大约12点35 分,妹妹受到了朋友传的简讯,说他们要回家了。我们还不舍得离开,因为我喜欢的艺人还在餐厅里面。。。没办法,因为我们是搭人家的顺风车,不要走也得走。就这样,心里和所有我喜爱的艺人说再见了!!此时我心想:接下来这几年的颁奖礼我还要出席!

Around 12.35am, sis got message from her friend that they wanted to leave Genting. We still not reluctant to leave because the artists still inside the restaurant. But no choice, cause we are taking people's car to go back home. Just say goodbye to the artists...I swear, I'll try to attend the award again for the year coming!
