中元節(jié)懷念父母親
梁生
【題記】每年的農(nóng)歷七月十五是一年一度的中元節(jié)，而在我國(guó)南方的部分地區(qū)（廣東廣西和香港）大多是以農(nóng)歷七月十四為中元節(jié)（又稱(chēng)為“鬼節(jié)”）。十四晚上出，十五晚上歸位，十六裝香拜伯公（祖宗）。讓伯公（祖宗〉穿上我們供奉的“新衣服”去趕集（廣東臺(tái)山人叫“等圩“）。特作此詩(shī)懷念遠(yuǎn)在天堂的父母雙親，愿你們一切安好！
轉(zhuǎn)眼中元又一年，心中掛念夜難眠。
父母離世十多載，魂歸故土寸心安。
無(wú)奈陰陽(yáng)兩相隔，夢(mèng)中追憶淚潸然。
難忘音容留遺訓(xùn)，每年銘記常掛牽。

Zhongyuan Festival: In Memory of My Parents
by Liang Sheng
【Note】The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is the annual Zhongyuan Festival. In some regions of southern China (such as Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hong Kong), the 14th day of the seventh lunar month is observed as the Zhongyuan Festival (also known as the "Ghost Festival"). On the evening of the 14th, spirits emerge, and on the evening of the 15th, they return. On the 16th, incense is offered to honor the ancestors (referred to as "Bogong" in some dialects), allowing them to "wear the new clothes" we have presented and attend the market (known as "dengxu" in Taishan, Guangdong). This poem is written in memory of my parents, who are now in heaven. May they rest in peace.
Another Zhongyuan year passes in the blink of an eye,
My heart aches with longing, keeping me awake at night.
Over a decade has passed since my parents left this world,
Yet my heart finds solace knowing their spirits rest in their homeland.
Though separated by the boundaries of life and death,
In dreams, memories bring tears that flow unrestrained.
Their voices, faces, and teachings remain unforgettable,
Etched in my heart, remembered and cherished year after year.
