Chongyang yuan

The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the traditional Double Ninth Festival, also called Ascending Festival. There are also folk sayings such as Double Ninth Festival, Cornus officinalis Festival and Chrysanthemum Festival.

Because the Book of Changes defines "six" as the yin number and "nine" as the yang number, on September 9, the sun and the moon are combined with yang, and 29 is the most important, so it is called Chongyang, also known as Jiujiu.

The Double Ninth Festival was formed as early as the Warring States Period. In the Tang Dynasty, the Double Ninth Festival was officially designated as a folk festival, which has been inherited ever since.

1989, China designated September 9th as the festival for the elderly. Tradition and modernity are skillfully combined, and the Double Ninth Festival has become a festival to respect, love and help the elderly.

So, are you going to go home and see your parents and grandparents on this day? 100% YEATION thought of it and specially prepared a special gift for the Double Ninth Festival. Express children's filial piety and send love to parents.

Double ninth festival custom

Appreciate the beautiful chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemum, a famous flower in China, is also a famous flower with long life. During the first frost, only this kind of grass flourished. Because of its unique character, chrysanthemum has become a symbol of vitality.

The Double Ninth Festival has always had the custom of enjoying chrysanthemums, so it was also called Chrysanthemum Festival in ancient times. People think that chrysanthemum is a symbol of longevity. During the Double Ninth Festival, chrysanthemum conferences and exhibitions are held in many places, and people from all over the city will send people out to see chrysanthemums.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms, it has become a fashion for Chongyang parties to drink and admire chrysanthemums and compose poems.

(During holidays, enjoying chrysanthemums with this cup of chrysanthemum tea for clearing heat and detoxifying is just like this in life. It's a great choice to drink it yourself and send it to your parents. )

Climb the peak

One of the most important festival activities in Chongyang is mountain climbing. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called "ascensiontide". There is no uniform rule for climbing mountains. Generally, we climb mountains and towers.

Of course, people climb mountains not only to climb mountains, but also to see the red leaves and wild flowers on the mountains and enjoy them by drinking and eating meat. This combination of climbing mountains and picnics is more attractive. For example, Sun Simiao in the Sui Dynasty said in the "Thousand Yue Jinfang Orders": "On the Double Ninth Festival, you must watch the wine and climb the mountain, and enjoy the autumn ambition with a feast. Wine must take dogwood and chrysanthemum, and you must drink it. "

The first film of Han Yuanji's "The First Nine Days of Shuidiao Song" in the Southern Song Dynasty: "Today I am more important than nine, and I can't stand chrysanthemums. Try to find a high place and take a photo of Cui Wei hand in hand. Let your eyes shine on the pale cliffs of Wan Ren. Clouds will protect the frost at dawn, and you will know that I am coming with you. The ancient temple is leaning against bamboo, and the cornices are extremely sharp. " This paper describes the charm of chrysanthemum appreciation in Chongyang.

Because the Double Ninth Festival is an autumn festival, flowers and trees begin to wither after the festival, so there is a saying that the double ninth festival is called "tattoo", which corresponds to the saying that the spring outing in March is called "outing".

In the Qing Dynasty, Pan Rongbi wrote in Ji Sheng during the reign of Emperor Jing: "(Chongyang) has a cure and drinks in the suburbs all day, which is called' tattoo'." This is also a poetic name.

Bian Xiao wants to say that whether you are yourself or your parents, the prerequisite for mountaineering is to have a good body. Always pay attention to health and fitness. Try Bian Xiao's magic weapon for eliminating dampness. )

Eat Chongyang cake

Besides drinking dogwood, chrysanthemum wine and eating chrysanthemum, Chongyang has many ways of eating, the most famous of which is eating cakes.

It is especially windy to eat Chongyang cake in the north. According to Xijing Miscellanies, in the Han Dynasty, September 9th was the custom of eating Peng bait, which was the original Double Ninth Festival cake. The symbol of "coarse flower cake" is to stick some coriander leaves with rough dried fruits such as olives, jujubes and walnuts in the middle.

There are three or two layers of fine flower cakes, each with fine candied dried fruits, such as preserved apples, peaches, apricots and dates.

Money flower cake is basically the same as fine flower cake, but smaller, just like "money", which is mostly the food of the upper nobility.

In the Song Dynasty, eating Chongyang cake was popular. Cake is homophonic with Gao, and eating cake is for good luck, so it is favored by people.

Pei dogwood praised chrysanthemum

Cornus officinalis is an important symbol of the Double Ninth Festival. People also like to wear chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival. Cornus officinalis is nicknamed "evil-ward Weng" and chrysanthemum is also called "longevity-prolonging guest".

Cornus officinalis is a kind of fruit that can be used as medicine, because the quality of Cornus officinalis produced in Wudi (now Jiangsu and Zhejiang) is the best.

Cornus officinalis ripens in autumn, the fruit is tender yellow, and turns purple when ripe, which has the effects of warming the middle warmer, relieving pain and regulating qi.

Compendium of Materia Medica says it is spicy and fragrant, warm in nature, and can cure cold and drive away poison. The ancients believed that wearing dogwood could ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters.

Legend of Chongyang

The Double Ninth Festival is a legendary day for the Yellow Emperor to escape from the immortals in Xuanyuan, and it is also a traditional sacrifice day for Chinese sons and daughters to explore the distance carefully and worship human ancestors. So, what are the legends of the Double Ninth Festival?

Legend 1: the theory of seeking longevity

After killing Mrs. Qi, the beloved concubine of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Mrs. Qi's maid Jia was also expelled from the palace and married Duan Ru, a member of the Feng Gang. When chatting, she mentioned that when she was in court, she wore dogwood, ate Peng bait and drank chrysanthemum wine every September 9 to ward off evil spirits and prolong life. According to legend, since then, there has been the custom of seeking longevity on the Double Ninth Festival.

Legend 2: Exorcism Theory

According to legend, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Huan Jing in runan county. A great plague suddenly occurred in his residence, and Huan Jing's parents died of illness. He went to Southeast Mountain to learn from his teacher, and the fairy Fei Changfang gave Huan Jing a demon-reducing dragon sword. Huan Jing gets up early and goes to bed late, wears a Dai Yue, studies hard and practices hard. One day, Fei Changfang said, "On September 9, the plague will come again, so you can go back and kill pests." And gave him a bag of dogwood leaves and a bottle of chrysanthemum wine, so that the elders in their hometown could climb high to avoid disaster.

So he left and went back to his hometown. On September 9, he led his wife, children and fellow villagers to a nearby mountain. Take the leaves of Cornus officinalis to everyone, but the plague demon is afraid to go near. Then pour out the chrysanthemum wine, and everyone took a sip to avoid catching the plague. He fought the plague demon and finally killed it.

In order to commemorate the exorcism day, on the ninth day of September, people put Cornus officinalis on a high place and sprinkled chrysanthemum wine. Slowly, this custom was handed down.
