Seven laws-Chongyang

In autumn, heaven goes round and round,

What do you want to eat sooner or later?

MengMeng Island on the Yanbo River,

A shallow boat by the reed leaf lake.

Cicadas sing in silence,

The bell is swaying.

Chongyang prayed for a long life and climbed high.

Lonely moon, thinking of people, looking at the small building.

The Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is a traditional folk festival in China. The Double Ninth Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the harvest sacrifice in ancient autumn and season. The number of "Nine" is a positive number in the Book of Changes, and the two positive numbers of "Nine Nine" are heavy, so it is called "Chongyang"; It is also called "Double Ninth Festival", because both the date and the month conform to nine. Returning to the truth of 1999, the ancients thought that 1999 Chongyang was an auspicious day. In ancient times, there were folk customs such as climbing to pray for blessings, enjoying chrysanthemums in autumn, wearing dogwood, offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, and feasting on the Double Ninth Festival. According to the existing historical data and textual research, the origin of the Double Ninth Festival can be traced back to ancient times, when there were harvest and ancestor worship activities in autumn. According to Lu's "Spring and Autumn Annals", when the crops were harvested in September, the ancients offered sacrifices to the heavenly emperor and ancestors to thank them for their kindness. This is the original form of the Double Ninth Festival as an autumn harvest sacrifice activity. The Double Ninth Festival began in ancient times, spread in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished after the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is an important period when traditional festival customs are mixed and shaped, and its main part has been passed down to this day. Chongyang ancestor worship has lasted for thousands of years and is an ancient folk custom with far-reaching significance. Double Ninth Festival, New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day and July 30th are also called the four traditional ancestral festivals in China.
