        大雪,每年公历12月6-8日交节,是二十四节气中的第21个节气,也是冬季的第3个节气。大雪节气是一个气候概念,它代表的是大雪节气期间的气候特征,即气温与降水量。大雪的到来,意味着天气已经越来越冷,下雪的可能性大增。本期邀请商英2306班王海月作为说书人,带我们一同探寻“大雪”的世界。

本文摘录自CGTN 07-Dec-2022,《Major Snow: Cold makes wintersweet bloom》

原文

    Major Snow, or Daxue in Chinese, is the 21st solar term on the traditional Chinese calendar. It falls on December 6 this year.Here's a poem by Wang Anshi from the Song Dynasty (960-1279), translated by Qin Dachuan.

《Plum Blossoms》

The plum flowers at the corner of the wall.Blossom all alone in the chilly snowfall;You can't mistake them for snow mass from afar.For a subtle fragrance keeps coming forth.

The arrival of Major Snow marks the beginning of midwinter, the coldest days for most of China. Like Minor Snow, Major Snow brings a change in temperature. At this time of the year, northern China usually experiences plummeting temperatures, and people enjoy charming landscapes of heavy snow.

This poem admires the strong quality of plum blossoms. In Chinese culture, plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum symbolize the four gentlemen of the flowers. The plum blossom fulfills the roles of hope, nobility, and an unwavering human spirit in harsh times, a fitting metaphor given that it is the only flower you will find blooming in the snow-covered fields of northern China.

Are we going to see some snow this year? Let's wait and see. No matter what, please keep warm and be optimistic because someday, we'll look back and refer to these as the good old days.


译文

大雪,乃是中国传统历法里的第 21 个节气,今年其降临之日为12月6日。且看这一首诗,乃是宋朝(960 - 1279)王安石所作,经由秦大川翻译而成。

《梅花》

墙角数枝梅,凌寒独自开。

遥知不是雪,为有暗香来。

大雪的悄然莅临,昭告着隆冬已然拉开帷幕,此乃中国大部分地域最为寒冷之际。恰似小雪一般,大雪亦会致使气温有所更迭。每至岁末此时,中国北方往往会遭遇气温的急剧下降,人们得以尽情领略那迷人的大雪盛景。

此诗盛赞梅花之馥郁芬芳。于中国文化的广袤星空中,梅花与兰花、竹子、菊花并称为花中四君子。梅花所彰显的,乃是希望之光、高贵之质以及在艰难困苦岁月里坚定不移的人类精神,此喻甚为贴切,盖因它是在中国北方那白雪茫茫的田野间唯一傲然绽放的花朵。

今年究竟是否会瑞雪纷飞呢?且让我们满怀期待,静心观望。但无论怎样,都请诸位务必做好保暖措施,同时心怀乐观,只因终有一日,当我们回首往昔时,会将这些时光视作美好的旧日回忆。
