The allusion to the Double Ninth Festival is very short.

1 originated in Qi Jinggong during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the 5th century BC. On the ninth day of September, he took a lot of people to climb mountains and walls, feeling crisp in autumn, so he decided it was an auspicious day. Since then, he will go out to climb mountains on this day every year. Later generations imitated it and formed customs.

2. According to "Continuation of Qi and Harmony", Huanjing in Han Dynasty studied with Fei Changfang, a master of Yi Studies, for many years. One day, Master Fei told his disciples that cornus was going to climb the mountain on September 9, and Huan Jing and his family survived because they listened to the master's words. All the livestock that didn't evacuate died of the plague. So on September 9 every year, I go out to climb mountains to avoid disasters and get used to each other.

The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the traditional Double Ninth Festival. Originated from the ancient Book of Changes, "six" is regarded as a negative number, and "nine" is regarded as a positive number. On September 9, the sun and the moon combined with the sun, and February 9 was the most important, so it was called Chongyang, also known as Chongyang. The ancients thought it was an auspicious day to celebrate, and this festival was celebrated from a very young age.

The story about the Double Ninth Festival

Legend has it that in the third century BC, there was a man with magical power named Fei Changfang. He can not only call the wind and rain, but also send ghosts and gods.

When a young man named Hengjing knew about it, he worshipped him as a teacher and wanted to worship him as a teacher. Because the young man was very determined, Fei Changfang took him as an apprentice and taught him skills.

One day, Fei Changfang said to Hengjing, "On September 9th, that is, the Double Ninth Festival, there will be a great disaster in your home. You should be prepared in advance. " Heng Jing was very alarmed. He quickly knelt down and asked the master to teach him how to avoid disaster.

Fei Changfang said: "On the Double Ninth Festival, you should make more red cloth bags, put them in dogwood, wrap them in your arms, and bring some wine soaked in chrysanthemums, so that the whole family can go to Gaopo to drink. In this way, we can avoid catastrophe. " Hengjing did it according to the master's method seriously.

In the early morning of the Double Ninth Festival, Heng Jing took his family to the nearby Gaopo and spent the day safely.

In the evening, Heng Jing and his family came home and were surprised. The cows, sheep, chickens and dogs at home are all dead. They really avoided a disaster.

Since then, Chongyang has climbed high, inserted dogwood and drank chrysanthemum wine, which has been circulating for more than two thousand years.
