Double Ninth Festival knowledge:
The origin of the name "Chongyang" was named after "Yang is nine" in the ancient book I Ching. In the Book of Changes, "six" is defined as yin number, "nine" is defined as yang number, and "extreme number" means that the height of the sky is "nine times". "Nine" is the Lao Yang, which is the anode number. The number of two anodes is overlapped, and 99 is combined, starting with one yuan, and Vientiane is updated. Therefore, the ancients thought that Chongyang was an auspicious day to celebrate. In ancient times, there was a custom of drinking to pray for longevity. On the ninth day of September, the sun and every month meet on the ninth day, which means "the weight of 29", so it is called "double ninth". At the same time, the two yang numbers are combined, so it is called "double ninth". In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dai wrote "Night Flight": "Nine is the yang number, and its day coincides with the month, so it is called' Chongyang'.
As a traditional festival in China, the Double Ninth Festival has been passed down to this day, except for climbing high to pray, enjoying chrysanthemums in autumn, wearing dogwood, offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, and feasting and longevity. It has become an important part of China's traditional culture of respecting the elderly and is deeply loved by people all over the country, especially elderly friends.
Create a social atmosphere of respecting the elderly and loving the young. Respecting the elderly is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation, which has always been valued by the people and has always been the mainstream culture of society. On the Double Ninth Festival, people all over the country express their respect and concern for their elderly friends in various forms.
Double ninth festival poetry
Zuihuaying
(Song) Li Qingzhao
The fog is thick and the clouds are light, and it will always be sad. The brain sells golden beasts.
Double Ninth Festival, lying in bed, in the middle of the night, the cold on my body has just been soaked.
Dongli drinks until dusk, and faint chrysanthemum fragrance overflows his sleeves.
Don't get carried away, the curtain rolls west wind, people are thinner than yellow flowers!
Vacation in the mountains reminds me of my brothers in Shandong.
(Tang) Wang Wei
I am a lonely stranger in a strange land, and I miss my family more often during the holidays.
From a distance, I know where my brothers have climbed, and there are few people in Rongyu.
Picking mulberry seeds for Chongyang
Life is easy to get old, but it is hard to get old.
Today is Chongyang, and the yellow flowers in the battlefield are particularly fragrant.
The autumn wind is very strong, unlike spring,
Better than spring, just like Wan Li frost on the vast river.
September 10 is an event.
(Tang) Li Bai
I climbed the mountain yesterday and lifted it today.
Chrysanthemum is too bitter, and it is the Double Ninth Festival.
