I am a lonely stranger in a strange land, and I miss my family more often during the holidays.

When I think of my brothers' bodies climbing high, I will feel a little regret for not being able to reach me.

The origin of the Double Ninth Festival, as early as the pre-Qin period, recorded the harvest in September, offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors to thank the ancestors of heaven and earth for their kindness. The formation of this custom is closely related to a man named Huan Jing in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

According to legend, ignoring human life, the Eastern Han Dynasty ravaged the hometown around Beijing; In order to overcome the disease, Huan Jing went through many difficulties and dangers. His sincerity of helping others as neighbors and eliminating pesticides for the people moved the old road living in the southeast mountainous area, and he got dogwood and wine to disperse it. He followed this advice and led the villagers to the highlands on September 9 to avoid another attack. Finally, Huan Jing was completely eradicated by the sword and surrendered; For the living environment in my hometown, I have won generations of Kangning Xianghe.

Since then, during the Double Ninth Festival, future generations will climb the mountain to worship their ancestors, insert dogwood and drink alcohol, and a traditional culture of saving lives and praying for peace and happiness has emerged.
