Chongyang's poem wishing the elderly health

Chongyang wishes the elderly health as follows:

1. I think of my brothers in Shandong when I am on vacation in the mountains: I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my relatives twice every festive season, knowing where my brother is climbing, and I lose one person every time.

2. Climbing on the 9th: Jiang Yingyan first flies, and guests follow the pot. Laughter makes people laugh, when chrysanthemums are in full bloom. But don't hate the cheese that has been handed over for the holidays when you get on board. After all, life is a short history, so why do you cry like Qi Jinggong?

3.9 10: I got up yesterday and lifted my muscles today. Chrysanthemum is too bitter, and it is the Double Ninth Festival.

4. Visit Xuanwu Mountain on September 9: See the mountains and rivers on September 9, and return home in the wind, flowers and smoke. In another country, drinking Jinhua wine, Wan Li shares the same sorrow with Hongyan.

Data expansion:

Double Ninth Festival is a traditional folk festival in China, which falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year. 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 customs such as climbing to pray for blessings, offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, and drinking and praying for blessings. Inherited to this day, it has increased the connotation of respecting the elderly. Climbing mountains and enjoying autumn and giving thanks and respecting the elderly are two important themes of today's Double Ninth Festival.

The Double Ninth Festival originated from the worship of astronomical phenomena, which began in ancient times, spread in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished after the Tang Dynasty. According to the existing historical data and textual research, in ancient times, there were activities of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors in the autumn and the season; The ancients offered sacrifices to the Emperor and ancestors when the crops were harvested in September, which was an activity to thank the Emperor and ancestors for their kindness. This is the original form of the Double Ninth Festival as an autumn harvest sacrifice activity. 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.

In the historical development and evolution, the Double Ninth Festival is a mixture of various folk customs, bearing rich cultural connotations. In the folk concept, "nine" is the largest number, which means longevity, and it places people's wishes for the health and longevity of the elderly.

On May 20th, 2006, the Double Ninth Festival was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in the State Council. The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, revised and passed by the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) on 20 12, stipulates that the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the Day for the Elderly.
