Natural Change after Qingming
清明節後的自然變化A society of natural farming economy employed slash-and-bum cultivation ，burning mountains and destroying forest. Spring was a time when grass and trees start sprouting. To keep a balanced ecology and to preserve a better living environment was a necessity to human being's own survival. It was said in Li Ji—Yue Ling，“During this month,the air pressure of the sky comes down and the air pressure of earth rises up. When the sky and earth come together,grass and trees germinate. It is an edict from god to start farming. ”
自然農耕經濟的社會燒荒陸耕，燒山毀林。春天是花草樹木開始發芽的季節。爲了保持生態平衡，並保持一個更好的生活環境對人類自身的生存是必不可少的。據禮記——月令記載，“在這個月中，天空的壓力下滑，地球的空氣壓力上升。當天空與大地合在一起，草木發芽。這是來自上帝的開始農耕的法令。”
