The ancients thought it was an auspicious day to celebrate, and this festival was celebrated from a very young age. The activities to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival are colorful and romantic, which generally include traveling to enjoy the scenery, climbing high into the distance, watching chrysanthemums, planting dogwood everywhere, eating the Double Ninth Festival cake, drinking chrysanthemum wine and other activities.

Moreover, autumn is also the golden season of harvest in a year, and the Double Ninth Festival has far-reaching influence. People have always had special feelings for this festival. There are many excellent poems in Tang poetry and Song poetry to congratulate the Double Ninth Festival and chant chrysanthemums. Today's Double Ninth Festival has been given a new meaning. 1989, China designated September 9th as the festival for the elderly, skillfully combining tradition with modernity, and becoming a festival to respect, care for and help the elderly.

At this time, organs, organizations and streets all over the country often organize retired old people to enjoy the scenery in autumn, or play near the water, or climb mountains to keep fit, so that their bodies and minds can be bathed in the embrace of nature; The younger generation of many families will also help the elderly to go to the suburbs or prepare some delicious food for the elderly. The origin of the Double Ninth Festival was mentioned as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Qu Yuan's Journey wrote: "Set Chongyang into the Emperor's Palace and see the capital of Qing Dynasty ten days later." The "Double Ninth Festival" here refers to the sky, not just festivals.

In Nine Days Zhong You written by Cao Pi, Wei Wendi in the Three Kingdoms period, it was clearly written that the Double Ninth Festival: "From the year to the month, I suddenly returned to September 9. Nine is the number of yang, and the sun and the moon coincide. It is well known and considered suitable for a long time, so it is a feast. "

Tao Yuanming, a scholar in Jin Dynasty, said in the preface to the poem "Idle for Nine Days": "I am idle and love the name of Nine. Autumn chrysanthemums are full of gardens, but they are sad, empty for Jiuhua, and precious words are like gold. "

Chrysanthemum and wine are mentioned here at the same time. Probably in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was a custom of drinking and enjoying chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival.

In the Tang Dynasty, Chongyang was officially designated as a folk festival. In the Ming Dynasty, on the Double Ninth Festival in September, the palace would eat flower cakes together to celebrate, and the emperor would personally climb the Long Live Mountain to celebrate his autumn ambition. This custom has been passed down to the Qing Dynasty.

Like most traditional festivals, the legend of the Double Ninth Festival has ancient legends. According to legend, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a plague demon in Ruhe. As soon as it appeared, people in every household fell ill and died every day, and people in this area were ravaged by plague demons.

A plague killed the parents of the teenager Hengjing, and he almost died of illness himself. After he recovered from his illness, he bid farewell to his beloved wife and fellow villagers and decided to go abroad to study fairy arts to rid the people of the plague.

Heng Jing visited teachers everywhere and famous scholars all over the world. Finally, he found an oldest mountain in the east. There is a miraculous fairy on the mountain. Under the guidance of the crane, Hengjing finally found the mountain and the immortal with magical power. The immortal was moved by his spirit, and finally took in Heng Jing, taught him the sword to subdue the demon, and gave him a sword to subdue the demon. Hengjing forgot to eat, sleep and practice hard, and finally became an extraordinary martial art.

On this day, the immortal called Heng Jing to his side and said, "Tomorrow is the ninth day of September, and the plague god will come out to do evil again. When you learn the skill, you should go back and kill the people. " Xianchang gave Hengjing a pack of dogwood leaves and a cup of chrysanthemum wine, and secretly taught him how to ward off evil spirits and let Hengjing ride a crane home.

Hengjing returned to his hometown. On the morning of the ninth day of September, according to the fairy's instructions, he led the villagers to a nearby mountain and gave everyone a dogwood leaf and a cup of chrysanthemum wine to prepare for subduing the evil spirits. At noon, with several strange calls, Mo Wen rushed out of the Ruhe River, but just as Mo Wen jumped down the mountain, he suddenly smelled the strange fragrance of Cornus officinalis and the alcohol smell of Chrysanthemum, and his face suddenly changed. At this time, Heng Jing chased Mo Wen down the mountain with a demon sword in his hand, and stabbed him to death in a few rounds. Since then, the custom of climbing mountains on the ninth day of September to avoid epidemics has been handed down year after year.

Wu Yun, a native of A Liang, recorded this point in his book Qi and He Xu. Later, people regarded the custom of climbing on the Double Ninth Festival as an activity to avoid disasters.

In addition, in the traditional concept of people in the Central Plains, the Double Ninth Festival still means longevity, health and longevity, so the Double Ninth Festival was later established as the festival for the elderly. The custom of Double Ninth Festival is sweet osmanthus fragrance in autumn. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the Double Ninth Festival is full of activities and fun, including climbing mountains, enjoying chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating double ninth cake and inserting dogwood.

Climbing high in ancient times, people had the custom of climbing high in Chongyang, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Climbing High Festival". According to legend, this custom began in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There are many climbing poems written by scholars in the Tang Dynasty, most of which are the custom of writing the Double Ninth Festival. Du Fu's Seven Laws "Ascending the Mountain" is a famous article about climbing the mountain in Chongyang. There is no uniform rule for climbing mountains. Generally, we climb mountains and towers.

There is also the custom of eating "Chongyang cake". According to historical records, Chongyang cake is also called flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake.

At dawn on September 9th, put a cake on the child's head and say something in his mouth, wishing the child all the best. This is the original intention of the ancients to make cakes in September. Exquisite Chongyang cake should be made into nine layers, like a pagoda, with two lambs on it, which conforms to the meaning of Chongyang (sheep).

Some people even put red paper flags on Chongyang cakes and light candles. This probably means "lighting a lamp" and "eating cakes" instead of "climbing", and using a red paper flag instead of dogwood.

At present, there is still no fixed variety of Chongyang cake, and the soft cakes eaten in Chongyang Festival all over the country are called Chongyang cakes. Watching chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine The Double Ninth Festival is the golden autumn season of the year, and chrysanthemums are in full bloom. It is said that watching chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine originated from Tao Yuanming, a great poet in Jin Dynasty.

Tao Yuanming is famous for his seclusion, his poems, his wine and his love for chrysanthemums. Later generations have followed suit, so Chongyang has the custom of enjoying chrysanthemums. In the old days, literati and officialdom also combined chrysanthemum appreciation with banquets in order to get close to Tao Yuanming.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng was the capital, and chrysanthemum appreciation on Chongyang was popular. At that time, there were many varieties and shapes of chrysanthemums. People also call September of the lunar calendar "Chrysanthemum Month". On the Double Ninth Festival, when chrysanthemums are in full bloom in Ao Shuang, viewing chrysanthemums has become an important part of the festival.

After the Qing dynasty, chrysanthemum appreciation was particularly popular, not limited to September 9, but still important.

8. What do you need to know to enjoy chrysanthemum and drink chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival?

In the traditional culture of China, "nine" is regarded as the largest positive number, but on the ninth day of September, the two words are equal, so the activities held on this day are endowed with various special meanings. Chongyang ascends the mountain in order to absorb the sun of heaven and earth, in order to avoid disaster; The custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine and inserting dogwood also implies the expectation of health and longevity.

Chrysanthemum and dogwood are two plants that play a very important role in the Double Ninth Festival, among which chrysanthemum is the most important. Seeing chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemum wine and eating chrysanthemum cakes have become the symbolic customs of the Double Ninth Festival.

The chrysanthemums enjoyed on the Double Ninth Festival are only one of more than 30,000 compositae plants in the world, namely chrysanthemums. However, this single variety, because of its long history and the love of our people, has become a large family with many varieties and wide uses, and has further become the representative of the whole Compositae.

Eat chrysanthemums for a long time.

Although chrysanthemums are colorful and have different shapes, people originally used chrysanthemums not for viewing, but for eating and making chrysanthemum wine.

The ancients preferred to eat chrysanthemums, which was actually caused by the association of various characteristics of chrysanthemums. First of all, unlike most other plants, including many compositae plants, chrysanthemums mostly bloom in late autumn, giving people a sense of pride. However, frost resistance is easily associated with "tenacity" and "longevity", so it also gives chrysanthemum the meaning of "longevity". Secondly, the stems, leaves and flowers of chrysanthemum contain a variety of volatile substances. If eaten or soaked in wine, it will give people a feeling of "refreshing" and even make people think that chrysanthemum will have the effects of "light body fit" and "body building". Therefore, in ancient times, when people believed in "harmony between man and nature", it was not surprising to eat chrysanthemums in order to achieve the effect of "prolonging life".

From "drinking" to "appreciating"

Of course, if people only used chrysanthemums as ingredients and flavoring agents for wine making, I'm afraid they wouldn't be famous today. Moreover, people began to actively plant chrysanthemums, which is why chrysanthemums have become so diverse.

For thousands of years, chrysanthemum has been closely related to the development and deepening of Double Ninth Festival and Double Ninth Festival culture, from unknown wild flowers to edible wild vegetables to the highly sought-after Xianpa in Yuen Long. The domestication and variety development of chrysanthemum show people's expectation of health and longevity and their pursuit of beauty, which is also an important connotation of the Double Ninth Festival.
