Aojiu Festival Poetry

Lin zu's poems in the middle period of taomin. According to legend, nine years later, it was fragrant and old, and each boiled red dates and hazelnuts. Sweep away the dust, throw away the filth and send him a rich poor man.

Aojiu Festival is a local festival in Shiyi, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, China, which is held on the 29th day of the first lunar month. On this day, every household will cook nine porridge to worship their ancestors or give it to relatives and friends; Married women should also send Jiu Zhou back to their parents' home to honor their parents.

There are two theories about the origin of Aojiu Festival. One is related to the rescue of mother by Manglietia in the play, and the other is related to the number "nine" in Fuzhou folklore.

In addition, Xie, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, said: "The son of Levin, dressed in rags, died in the darkness of the first month, and the world was destroyed, abandoning the streets and alleys and destroying the poor." Most scholars in Qing Dynasty agree with this statement. Lin Zutao's poem "Miscellaneous Fu at the Age of Middle Fujian" says: "According to legend, after nine years of incense, each boiled glutinous dates and hazelnuts. Sweep away the dust and throw it away, and send him a poor man to lose money. "
