The "Ninth Five-Year Plan" is a pastime for the people and the palace in the long winter.

"99-year-old cold relief map" is a custom of Han nationality at the age of 20 (custom at the age of 20: what we call traditional festivals and customs, such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and Dragon Boat Festival). Winter is very long. In order to survive the cold winter, the Han people use the method of counting nine, which can not only pass the time, but also predict the abundance and shortage of the coming year, so that the cold winter will not be so long, with a little fun and expectation.

The earliest book that recorded nine words was the Chronicle of Jingchu written by Liang Chaozong in 550 AD, which included the sentence "The number of winter solstice days, 9981 is the end of cold".

The solstice of winter begins in 99 days and ends in 6 days after the next year's fright. Nine days is "September 19th", which is 998 1 day. Therefore, the 99-99 map of eliminating the cold was hung on the winter solstice and removed after the shock. In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ruoyu also recorded in "Random Thoughts": "After the winter solstice, more posters of" Introduction to Sheep "were hung indoors, and" Relief Map in Cold Area in 1999 "was printed as a courtesy. It can be seen that the custom has been followed at that time.

According to legend, Wen Tianxiang, a national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, was captured in Haifeng, Guangdong Province. At that time, it was freezing for nine days, so he painted a red plum on the wall, one petal a day, one flower every nine days. In 998 1 year, the red plum opened on the wall and died heroically on the day when the cold disappeared. The arrogant red plum praised the heroic spirit of Wen Tianxiang Shuang Ling Aoxue, and the "Nine-Year Plan to Eliminate Cold" was circulated among the people.

99-99 cold relief map is also called 99-99 map, which is divided into pattern 99 map, text 99 map and circle 99 map. The most elegant and exquisite of the nine-nine pictures belongs to Su Meitu. In the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded in "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital": "On the day of the winter solstice, one plum blossom was painted, and one petal was dyed every day. In 1999, the petals came out and the spring was deep, which was called' 99 Cold Relief Map' ". Draw a petal with red ink every day until the tree is full of flowers, and red is better than fire, and spring returns to the world.

When I first saw these nine-petal plum blossoms, I also made a joke. In my hometown, only Jiujiu songs are popular, and I have never heard of Jiujiu Cold Map. I also left a message on someone else's official WeChat account, euphemistically telling her that the plum blossom painting was wrong, and it should be five petals. Thank you for your patient answer, which made me understand a custom of Han nationality 18 years old.

Sumeitu is deeply loved by scholars. It is recorded in "One Hundred Poems with Mixed Scenery" that "after the winter solstice, stick a plum flower in the window, and the beauty will make up. Rouge will make a circle every day, 8 1 circle is enough, and it will become apricot flowers, which is to warm the back. " Yang Yunfu of Amin Dynasty dyed the custom of Mei Yonghe with women's makeup, adding a touch of elegance to Sumitomo.

There are two kinds of drawings, which are also called poems to cool the cold in 1999. One is a gourd-shaped diagram for dispelling cold, and the other is a diagram formed by hooking up sentences for dispelling cold with two lines. Both of them are descriptive characters, * * * has nine characters, all of which are traditional Chinese characters, with nine strokes for each character and nine strokes for * * *.

There is a fixed poem "Wild geese fly south, willow buds wait for spring" (the word "wild goose crossing" should be connected in the beautiful part) in the gourd. The map of removing cold and gourd was written by Daoguang, and it is composed of neat small characters and poems. This is a popular crossword puzzle in Qing Dynasty. The fine print around is 99 poems, which evolved from 99 songs. Poetry reflects the climate characteristics of every September, and also compiles the history of our country. Judging from the recitation of "the first nine days are cold for winter", there are four poems in September every year, nine poems are finished, and spring is coming.

The most famous sentence in "99-99" is "weeping willows in front of the pavilion cherish the spring breeze" written by Daoguang. Other classic sentences include "White phoenix in the vestibule sends spring fragrance all over the house" and "grass in the spring lane weighs the courtyard". This painting is painted once a day, in red, shade blue, rain green, wind yellow, snow white, or in lead powder (recorded in Yan Jingwan's "Examination of Anti-infection Devices"), and the weather of that day will be marked on the strokes. The degree of detail recorded every day depends on the length of the strokes of that day.

The most elegant thing is to make nine-body couplets, each with nine words and nine pictures. Fill in the couplets every day, and when beginning of winter is finished, it is called "99 Cold Spring Festival couplets".

There are copper coins and cold-dispelling and qi-invigorating pictures in the circle of 99, with nine squares and 81 circles. From winter to Sunday, stain spots according to the weather every day and apply a circle every day. It will be cloudy, sunny and rainy on the left, and windy on the right. If it snows, it will be in the middle.

Puyi lived in a secluded palace, and she felt sad and lonely. In order to get rid of loneliness, courtiers compiled a song for him to dispel cold and replenish qi. The diagram of dispelling cold is nine squares and eighty-one circles. "Kyoto customs" also has "the winter solstice, which is called nine, or drawing eighty-one circles of paper. The sentence "divide the weather into a circle every day, record the ups and downs, and call it" 99 cold current map "to explain the abundance and regret of the coming year" should refer to this schema.

Plum blossoms turn white into apricot blossoms, and cold winter turns cold into warm spring.

Beauty rouge painted plum, Xiao makeup beautiful spring.

Sing a song to commemorate the custom of that year.
