What is the meaning of "Festival" in "I miss my relatives more every holiday"?

"Festival" means a beautiful festival, and there is no specific reference.

In "Living in the Mountain and Thinking of Shandong Brothers", the poet's homesickness in a foreign land naturally exists on weekdays, but sometimes it is not necessarily revealed.

Festivals are often a time for family reunion, and many fond memories of hometown scenery are often associated, so it is natural to "miss your family more during festivals".

Extended data creation background:

Shanju Holiday Thinking of Shandong Brothers is one of the masterpieces of Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei, and it is the work of Wang Wei in17th century.

Wang Wei was wandering between Luoyang and Chang 'an alone. He is from Zhou Pu (now Yongji, Shaanxi Province), and Zhou Pu is in the east of Huashan Mountain, so he called his hometown brothers Shandong brothers. September 9th is the Double Ninth Festival, and some places in China have the custom of climbing mountains.

The origin of the Double Ninth Festival:

The origin of the name "Chongyang" was named after "Yang is nine" in the ancient book I Ching. In the Book of Changes, "six" is defined as yin number, "nine" is defined as yang number, and "extreme number" means that the height of the sky is "nine times".

On the ninth day of September, the sun and every month meet on the ninth day, which means "the weight of 29", so it is called "double ninth". At the same time, the two yang numbers are combined, so it is called "double ninth". In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dai wrote "Night Flight" and said: "Nine is the yang number, and its day coincides with the month, so it is called" Chongyang ".

"Nine" is the Lao Yang, which is the anode number. The two anode numbers are combined, 1999 is unified, one yuan starts, and Vientiane is updated. Therefore, the ancients thought that Chongyang was an auspicious day to celebrate.
