is about to be on the ninth day of the lunar calendar, . The ninth day of the lunar calendar is our folk Double Ninth Festival, and it is also our " Respect for the Elderly" . On this day, people pay attention to appreciating chrysanthemums, inserting dogwood , and also pay attention to climbing high places. So why do you have these customs on the ninth day of the 9th day of the 9th day?
with this question, I specifically asked the knowledgeable old man, and found the information. Let’s take a look at the answers together!
1, rumored to be able to ward off evil spirits
In ancient China, people believed that the nine of September was a yang number, and the nine of the nine day was also a yang number. The two yang numbers overlapped each other, so the day on the ninth month was called Double Ninth day. The Double Ninth day means that the yang energy is the heaviest. As the saying goes, things will turn back, so from Double Ninth day, the yin energy begins to rise. Therefore, superstitious ancients believed that from the ninth day of the ninth month, the ancestors underground would come out, so Double Ninth day is also a day to worship ancestors.
Since the ancestors underground are about to come out, ghosts underground will also come out. Therefore, people believe that on the Double Ninth Festival, the evil spirits underground will rise. In order to ward off evil and for good luck, the ancients believed that the Double Ninth Festival should be climbed up, and also inserted dogwood that can ward off evil, which has been passed down for a long time. Therefore, on the Double Ninth Festival, there is the custom of climbing up and looking far away, and there is also the old rule of inserting dogwood. The ancient poem says, "I know that brothers climb high places, and there is one less person to insert dogwood everywhere."
2. It is rumored that you can meet immortals and good fortune as you climb up to a high place
is circulating among the people. On the ninth day of the ninth month is the day of returning to the real world. Therefore, some people who practice, some gods will choose to ascend on the ninth day of the ninth month. Don’t believe it. Check the ancient books and you will find that many gods’ enlightenment day are the ninth day of the ninth month, such as the famous sea god Mazu , such as Zhenwu Emperor , etc.
It is said that on this day, God also needs to evaluate those who practice immortals. If the merits are complete, they can be rewarded and achieve the right result. Therefore, on September 9th, people like to climb to a high place, hoping to meet gods and get rewards from gods and gain good luck.
In ancient times, there was a custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. The reason was that the ancients believed that drinking chrysanthemum wine could lead to enlightenment and immortality.
3, why is the ninth day of the ninth month a "Salute to the Elderly Day"?
The other issues that everyone is concerned about are, why did you still establish contact with the elderly on the ninth day of the ninth month? Why has it become a festival for the elderly? To be honest, the ninth day of the ninth month is a long-term meaning, and it will have long-term and prosperous meanings. Therefore, people regard the ninth day of the ninth month as the "Salute of the Elderly". On this day, people should pay attention to giving gifts to the elderly and wishing them health and longevity.
Now, because many friends are working outside, or because they cannot live in the same city with the elderly due to work, although they cannot reunite with the elderly on the ninth day of the ninth month, we can send blessings on the phone or express our feelings.
The elderly are old and what they need most is the comfort and blessings of their children. Do you think this is the case?
4, summarizing
Our country is vast and rich in resources. There are many customs in many places, such as eating Double Ninth Cake , such as worshiping ancestors, such as worshiping Mazu. These customs express our ancestors' yearning for a better life and express our ancestors' awe for nature. These are all worth learning and inheriting. Our culture is our root. Remember our culture, our soul will always be the Chinese soul.
