"I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my family more during the holidays. I know my brothers climb high places, and there is one less person in my dogwood planted everywhere." Everyone should remember this ancient poem. This is "H September 9th Reminiscing Shandong Brothers " written by Wang Wei. This ancient poem is written on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, that is, on the Double Ninth Festival. People climb high to see the distance to relieve their homesickness and the customs on the Double Ninth Festival, that is, people like to put dogwood on their bodies to achieve a beautiful and smooth life.
Today is the eighth day of the ninth month, and tomorrow is the ninth day of the ninth month. Today I think of the above very classic ancient poem about the Double Ninth Festival.
Double Ninth Day on September 9th is a festival that praises the elderly. It is the Elderly Day, it is the Double Elderly Day, and it is also people's expectation for the elderly to be healthy, long-lasting, healthy and long-lasting. As the saying goes, "A old man in the family is like a treasure." The elderly in the family are a manifestation of family unity and cohesion. It is a very simple phenomenon. When there are elderly people at home, children's children revolve around the elderly at home during the holidays. Three generations or four generations will gather around the elderly. This is the charm of "there is an elderly person in the family". The inspiration to us is that as long as there are elderly people at home, the elderly are there, the home is there. If one day the elderly at home are gone, the brothers and sisters will not know where to reunite during the holidays, because there are no elderly people, the family seems to be gone. Therefore, when all the elderly at home are gone, the blood relationship between brothers and sisters will gradually fade.
The reason why the ninth day of the ninth month is called " Chongyang ", it means that the number "nine" belongs to yang, and the ninth month of the month, also known as "nine nine", is "yangyang". The two yangs are side by side, which means that the yang overlaps, so it is called Chongyang. From the perspective of yin and yang, the number "nine" is the yang among the numbers. In the ancient book " Night Ship ", it says, "Nine is a yang number, and the sun and the moon respond together, so it is called 'Double Ninth day'." From here we can see that the Double Ninth Festival has attracted much attention from ancient times to the present.
When it comes to the customs and customs of Double Ninth Festival, we still rely on the sayings of the ancients. According to the " Miscellaneous Notes of Xijing ", "On September 9, wearing dogwood, eating bait, drinking chrysanthemum wine, the clouds make people live long." From this we can know how people spend the Double Ninth Festival.
First of all, people need to wear dogwood, and the meaning of wearing dogwood is to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters. This is an ancient common belief. The "pangbait" mentioned here is actually the Double Ninth Festival cake , which is a must-made pastry delicacy for people on the Double Ninth Festival. Generally, there are colorful pastries. Of course, chrysanthemum cake is also one of the must-made ones. It is made by picking fresh chrysanthemum cake. After eating chrysanthemum cake, the fragrance of chrysanthemum leaves the mouth.
Another one is " Drink Chrysanthemum Wine ", which is also based on chrysanthemums. The wine soaked with chrysanthemums has a cool and sweet taste and has other good effects. On the Double Ninth Festival, wear dogwood, climb high, eat Double Ninth Festival cake, and drink chrysanthemum wine to relieve the "lost your family during the holidays".
