Seven Laws of Double Ninth Festival 1
Love is like water, and the bright moon is close to the window. A poem leads to two petals and three lives bound for thousands of years.
Yellow flowers are worried about wine, and the old things look back. Can autumn wind spread words? Who can be crazy in the world of mortals?
Seven-law Double Ninth Festival Section 2
A petal of passionate pillow inkstone edge, acacia language. Autumn wind can make poems like wine, and pearls and jadeites can hardly connect the bright moon like years.
The dew is cold and empty, and the heart is bright and the chrysanthemum is full of Tao Ran. I will leave my dream in the dark, and I will be a floating cloud, Huang Hexian.
The Seventh Law Double Ninth Festival Section 3
Who is autumn wind to Wan Li? Distant dreams are just around the corner. Lonely geese fly south by the opposite journey. The sunset sighs in the west.
No matter what the name is, the great cause will not be accidental. How can you become immortal if you only leave a pen to write poetry?
The custom of Double Ninth Festival
First, insert Cornus officinalis.
In ancient times, there was a custom of inserting dogwood on September 9, so the Double Ninth Festival was also called the dogwood Festival. Cornus officinalis has a strong fragrance, which has the functions of expelling insects, dehumidifying and expelling wind, and also has the functions of promoting digestion and resolving food stagnation and treating cold and heat. It can be used as medicine and wine for health preservation and disease elimination. Therefore, on the Double Ninth Festival, people have the custom of wearing Cornus officinalis or inserting Cornus officinalis when climbing high and looking far. They can also give Cornus officinalis as a gift to relatives and friends to ward off evil spirits, seek good luck and prolong life.
Second, drink chrysanthemum wine.
Chrysanthemum wine is cool and sweet, and has the effects of improving eyesight, nourishing liver qi, calming stomach, nourishing blood, treating dizziness, lowering blood pressure and losing weight. It is a good product for strengthening the body and prolonging life. Drinking chrysanthemum wine was popular as early as the Han and Wei Dynasties. In China folklore, when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, people collect the stems and leaves of chrysanthemums and mix them with grain to make wine, and wait until September 9th next year to drink.
Third, climb high and look far.
On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, there is a common custom among the people, that is, people should go out and look far on this day. There are two theories about its origin.
At 1, the ancient people worshipped the mountain gods, thinking that "1999 will bring great changes to old Yangyang", so they climbed the mountain on September 9th to worship the mountain gods for good luck, which gradually evolved into an entertainment.
During the Double Ninth Festival, most of the busy autumn harvest has ended. At this time, the people are more at leisure, and the wild fruits and herbs in the mountains are also mature, so people will go up the mountain to collect wild fruits and herbs at this time, and then gradually focus their activities on the Double Ninth Festival, which has evolved into the custom of climbing high and looking far on the Double Ninth Festival.
Fourth, enjoy chrysanthemums.
During the Double Ninth Festival, all kinds of chrysanthemums are in full bloom, so watching chrysanthemums naturally becomes an important part of the festival. Besides watching bright chrysanthemums, we will also light chrysanthemum lanterns, hold banquets, make music and drums together to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival in Daqing.
Fifth, eat Chongyang cake.
Chongyang cake, also known as flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake, is the representative food of the Double Ninth Festival on September 9. As a holiday food, it was originally used to celebrate the bumper harvest of grain and like to taste new grain. Because "Gao" and "Gao" are homophonic, there is auspicious meaning of climbing step by step, so there is the custom of climbing to eat cakes on the Double Ninth Festival.
