The day after tomorrow is October 4th, 9th day of the ninth month is also one of the two major health care festivals in the year. Double Ninth Festival is the "Eternal Life Festival", which emphasizes longevity and elderly care.
You will find that there are many charity activities on the streets around Double Ninth Festival every year, nursing homes and on the streets, but in fact, we should not just act on this day. Respect for the elderly should be reflected in every day. What the elderly need is more company. You can start with the elderly in your own home.
We should not blame some elderly people for being cheated of money by sky-high health medicines and supplies, or scammers. It is also because these unscrupulous businesses or scammers have seized the weakness of the elderly that they need to care for and put strong medicines. So if we spend more time with them, remind them more, and let them learn the correct health knowledge, perhaps these can be avoided.
so companionship starts from now on. A while ago, I visited a nursing home with medical care and nursing care. I watched the elderly inside accompany each other, play and sing, take care of their lives with professionals, and satisfy their sports, catering, entertainment, and religious beliefs. It seems that this is also a good measure.
In addition to this, it is also recommended that you configure an care for the elderly in your family with series insurance, because many insurances have age restrictions and health requirements. The highest is that these insurances can include fracture-related protection, because I was responsible for osteoporosis drugs in Merck before, and I know that the incidence of osteoporosis fractures or re-fractures after osteoporosis fractures and the medical expenses and nursing expenses caused by fractures are quite high. I bought myself one this year.
Double Ninth Festival says happiness or wellness, and there are some controversies on the Internet:
The traditional Double Ninth Festival is based on the theme of warding off evil spirits. On this day when it was originally used to ward off evil spirits, it seems a bit inappropriate to say "Happy Holidays", and it is more appropriate to say "healthy" or "peace of the whole family". However, now the Double Ninth Festival has gradually faded the meaning of taboos and regards the elderly as the theme of the festival. Therefore, whether to say "happy holidays" has become a personal choice of opinion. The statement
comes from the people of our country. People believe that the most important activity on Double Ninth Festival is climbing high. In ancient times, it was said that this was a capture of the environment of daily life and avoiding the evil spirit. Because it is said that plague will come on this day, people have to leave their homes and go to a high place as much as possible to be safe. Therefore, the blessings on Double Ninth Festival are "healthy" or "peace of the whole family", and they cannot be said to be "happy holiday".
Eat Chongyang Cake
According to historical records, Chongyang Cake is also called flower cake, chrysanthemum cake, and five-color cake. There is no fixed method to make it, and it is relatively casual. On the ninth day of September, when the sky is dawn, I use a piece of cake to put on my children's foreheads and chant something, wishing my children all the best. This is the original intention of the ancients to make cakes in September. The exquisite Chongyang cake should be made into nine layers, like a pagoda, and two lambs are made on it to match the meaning of Chongyang (sheep). Some even put a small red paper flag on the Double Ninth Festival cake (in place of dogwood) and light candle lamps. This probably means using "lighting the lamp" and "eating cake" instead of "climbing the high". There is still no fixed variety of Chongyang cakes today, and the soft cakes eaten in various places during the Chongyang Festival are called Chongyang cakes.
Climbing the heights
In ancient times, there was a custom of climbing the heights in the Double Ninth Festival, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Climbing the High Festival". According to legend, this custom began with Eastern Han . literati in the Tang Dynasty wrote many poems about climbing the heights, mostly about the customs of the Double Ninth Festival; Du Fu 's seven-character " Climbing the High " is a famous work about climbing the Double Ninth Festival. There is no uniform rule for wherever you go to climb high, usually climbing mountains and climbing towers.
Drink chrysanthemum wine
"A cup of chrysanthemum wine, live to ninety-nine." This sentence is a common saying about the Double Ninth Festival. chrysanthemum wine has also become a "auspicious wine" that must be drunk on Double Ninth Festival and eliminates disasters and prays for blessings.
History of drinking chrysanthemum wine in Double Ninth Festival
It is said that Appreciating chrysanthemum and drinking chrysanthemum wine originated from Jin Dynasty great poets Tao Yuanming .Tao Yuanming was famous for his seclusion, his poems, his wine, and his love for chrysanthemums. Later generations followed him, and thus he had the custom of appreciating chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival. In the past, literary officials also combined the appreciation of chrysanthemums and banquets to make it closer to Tao Yuanming.
Chrysanthemum wine brewed in my country was popular as early as the Han and Wei dynasties. According to " Miscellaneous Notes of Xijing ", "When chrysanthemums are relaxed, they pick the stems and leaves, and mixed millet is brewed. It will start to ripen on September 9th of the next year, so it is called chrysanthemum wine." Drinking on Double Ninth Festival is said to drink this "chrysanthemum wine" to prolong life.
According to Eastern Jin Ge Hong's "Miscellaneous Notes on the Western Capital Yiji", The Emperor Gaozu of Han , in the palace, "on September 9th, wear dogwood, eat lotus bait, and drink chrysanthemum wine. The clouds make people live long." Later, drinking chrysanthemum wine gradually became a folk custom, especially during the Double Ninth Festival, and drinking chrysanthemum wine is even more important. According to the " Xu Qixie Ji " written by the Liang Dynasty of , "On September 9th..., drinking chrysanthemum wine will be eliminated." This is the beginning of the Double Ninth Festival when the old custom is the Double Ninth Festival, and chrysanthemum wine is needed.
"Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" records that "On the ninth day of September, I wore dogwood, ate lotus ears, and drank chrysanthemum wine to make me live longer." In the Ming and Qing dynasties, a variety of herbs were added to chrysanthemum wine, which was even better. The production method is: decoct the juice with chamomile flowers, make wine with koji and rice or add Rehmannia , angelica, and wolfberry.
