Why is there the Double Ninth Festival?
The origin of Double Ninth Festival
The origin of the Double Ninth Festival can be traced back to the early Han Dynasty. It is said that in the palace, on September 9th every year, you should wear Cornus officinalis, feed it with bait and drink chrysanthemum wine to live longer. After the love princess Qi of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang was killed, the maid-in-waiting Jia was also expelled from the palace, and this custom spread to the people. The Double Ninth Festival was mentioned in Chu Ci during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Qu Yuan's Journey wrote: "Set Chongyang into the Emperor's Palace and see the capital of Qing Dynasty ten days later." The "Double Ninth Festival" here refers to the sky, not just festivals. In Nine Days Zhong You written by Cao Pi, Wei Wendi in the Three Kingdoms period, it was clearly written that the Double Ninth Festival: "From the year to the month, I suddenly returned to September 9. Nine is the number of yang, and the sun and the moon coincide. It is well known and considered suitable for a long time, so it is a feast. " Tao Yuanming, a scholar in Jin Dynasty, said in the preface to the poem "Idle for Nine Days": "I am idle and love the name of Nine. Autumn chrysanthemums are full of gardens, but they are sad, empty for Jiuhua, and precious words are like gold. " Chrysanthemum and wine are mentioned here at the same time. Probably in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, drinking and enjoying chrysanthemums began on the Double Ninth Festival. In the Tang Dynasty, Chongyang was officially designated as a folk festival. In the Ming Dynasty, on the Double Ninth Festival in September, the palace would eat flower cakes together to celebrate, and the emperor would personally climb the Long Live Mountain to celebrate his autumn ambition. This custom has been passed down to the Qing Dynasty.
The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the traditional Double Ninth Festival in China. The Double Ninth Festival has a history of more than two thousand years. 1989, the China municipal government designated this day as the festival for the elderly every year. On this day, all localities should organize the elderly to climb mountains for an autumn outing, exchange feelings and exercise. The younger generation of many families will also help the elderly to go to the suburbs.
According to documents, as early as the Chung Yeung Festival in the Warring States period, people had the custom of climbing mountains and drinking chrysanthemum wine. As a festival, it was in the Western Han Dynasty. The activities of the Double Ninth Festival are rich and colorful, generally including sightseeing, climbing high and overlooking, enjoying chrysanthemums, planting dogwood everywhere, eating double ninth cake and drinking chrysanthemum wine. In ancient times, there was the custom of climbing on the Double Ninth Festival, so it was also called "Climbing Festival". According to legend, this custom began in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There is no uniform rule for climbing places. Generally, people climb mountains and towers.
The custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine on Double Ninth Festival originated from Tao Yuanming, a great poet in Jin Dynasty. Tao Yuanming is famous for living in seclusion, writing poems, drinking and loving chrysanthemums. Later generations took him as an example, so they had the custom of enjoying chrysanthemums on Double Ninth Festival.
Inserting dogwood and chrysanthemum is also an important custom of the Double Ninth Festival, which has been very common in the Tang Dynasty. The ancients thought that inserting Evodia rutaecarpa on the Double Ninth Festival could take refuge and eliminate disasters. So people wear dogwood on their arms, or grind it in sachets and put it in their heads. Most of them are worn by women and children, and men in some places also wear them. Besides wearing dogwood, people also wear chrysanthemums. In the Qing Dynasty, the custom of Beijing Double Ninth Festival was to stick chrysanthemum branches and leaves on doors and windows, "to get rid of evil and filth, and to make money into treasure".
Legend of Double Ninth Festival
Wu Junzhi, a Southern Dynasty man, wrote in the book Qi He Xu: According to legend, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Huanjing in runan county, and a great plague suddenly occurred, which led to the death of Huanjing's parents, so he went to learn from his teacher, and Fei Changfang, a fairy, gave Huanjing a dragon sword to subdue demons. Huan Jing gets up early and goes to bed late, wears a Dai Yue, studies hard and practices hard. One day, Fei Changfang said, "On September 9, the plague will come again, so you can go back and kill pests." And gave him a bag of dogwood leaves and a bottle of chrysanthemum wine, so that the elders in their hometown could climb high to avoid disaster. So he left and went back to his hometown. On September 9, he led his wife, children and fellow villagers to a nearby mountain. Take the leaves of Cornus officinalis to everyone, but the plague demon is afraid to go near. Then pour out the chrysanthemum wine, and everyone took a sip to avoid catching the plague. He fought the plague demon and finally killed it. Up to now, people on both sides of the Ruhe River are still telling stories about climbing mountains to avoid disasters and waving swords and stabbing demons on September 9. Since then, people celebrate the Double Ninth Festival and have the custom of climbing mountains on the Double Ninth Festival. Many important books, such as "Beginners" in the Tang Dynasty and "A View of Taiping" in the Song Dynasty, all recounted this story in Wu Jun's "Continuing Qi and Combining Things", arguing that the custom of women wearing dogwood bags on their arms to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters came from this. Like most traditional festivals, the Double Ninth Festival has ancient legends. According to legend, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a plague demon in Ruhe. As soon as it appeared, people in every household fell ill and died every day, and people in this area were ravaged by plague demons. A plague killed the parents of the teenager Hengjing, and he almost died of illness himself. After he recovered from his illness, he bid farewell to his beloved wife and fellow villagers and decided to go abroad to study fairy arts to rid the people of the plague. Heng Jing visited teachers everywhere and famous scholars all over the world. Finally, he found an oldest mountain in the east. There is a miraculous fairy on the mountain. Under the guidance of the crane, Hengjing finally found the mountain and the immortal with magical power. The immortal was moved by his spirit, and finally took in Heng Jing, taught him the sword to subdue the demon, and gave him a sword to subdue the demon. Hengjing forgot to eat, sleep and practice hard, and finally became an extraordinary martial art. On this day, the immortal called Heng Jing to his side and said, "Tomorrow is the ninth day of September, and the plague god will come out to do evil again. When you learn the skill, you should go back and kill the people. " Xianchang gave Hengjing a pack of dogwood leaves and a cup of chrysanthemum wine, and secretly taught him how to ward off evil spirits and let Hengjing ride a crane home. Hengjing returned to his hometown. On the morning of the ninth day of September, according to the fairy's instructions, he led the villagers to a nearby mountain and gave everyone a dogwood leaf and a cup of chrysanthemum wine to prepare for subduing the evil spirits. At noon, with several strange calls, Mo Wen rushed out of the Ruhe River, but just as Mo Wen jumped down the mountain, he suddenly smelled the strange fragrance of Cornus officinalis and the alcohol smell of Chrysanthemum, and his face suddenly changed. At this time, Heng Jing chased Mo Wen down the mountain with a demon sword in his hand, and stabbed him to death in a few rounds. Since then, the custom of climbing mountains on the ninth day of September to avoid epidemics has been handed down year after year. Wu Yun, a native of A Liang, recorded this point in his book Qi and He Xu. The original text is as follows: Runan Huanjing and Fei Changfang traveled together for many years. Chang Fang said, "On September 9, there will be disaster in your home. It is advisable to leave in a hurry and let the family make their own crimson bags, hold dogwood, tie their arms, and climb high to drink chrysanthemum wine. This disaster can be eliminated. " Picturesque scenery, family climbing mountains. The same is true at night, when chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep suddenly die. The eldest room listened: "This can be exchanged." Today, people climb mountains and drink on the 9th, and women take the bag of Cornus officinalis, so the cover begins here. Later, people regarded the custom of climbing on the Double Ninth Festival as an activity to avoid disasters. In addition, in the traditional concept of people in the Central Plains, the Double Ninth Festival still means longevity, health and longevity, so the Double Ninth Festival was later established as the festival for the elderly. Gan Bao's "Sou Shen Ji" says: There is a man in Quanjiao County of Huainan who married Xie Jia in the same county. Because Xie Jia is a rich boy, her mother-in-law is cruel, cruel and abusive, forcing her to do heavy housework and often being scolded and beaten. Shi Ding finally couldn't bear it, and hanged himself on the Double Ninth Festival. After his death, he hugged Wu Zhu tightly and said, "A wife works hard every day and can't rest. Please don't let your husband's family work again on the Double Ninth Festival. " Therefore, Jiangnan people give women a rest every year on the Double Ninth Festival, which is called "rest day". This woman named Shi Ding built a shrine for offering sacrifices, named Dinggu Temple. After the Double Ninth Festival, parents will take their married daughters home to eat flower cakes. In the Ming Dynasty, the Double Ninth Festival was even called "Daughter's Day". Liu Hanxin's Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing records that after killing Mrs. Qi, the beloved concubine of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Mrs. Qi's maid Jia was also expelled from the palace and married Duan Ru, a man who helped the wind. When chatting, she mentioned that when she was in the imperial court, she wore dogwood, ate tent bait and drank chrysanthemum wine every September 9 to ward off evil spirits and prolong life. Shen Quanqi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote the poem "Nine-Day Pavilion Night Banquet Should Be Long": "Wei Jurui, a gift to the capsule ... celebrates the ninth anniversary every year, and the sun and the moon are long". Wang Bo Biography of Old Tang Dynasty records that Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting was written on the Double Ninth Festival. At that time, Wang Bo's father served as the Toe Cross, and Wang Bo went to visit his father. On September 9th, when I visited Nanchang, Taoist Yan of Hongzhou hosted a banquet for the guests and their subordinates in the rebuilding museum. He wanted to show off the talent of his son-in-law Wu, so he took out a pen and paper in advance and invited the guests to write a preface. All the guests knew his intentions, and no one dared to do so. Unexpectedly, Wang Bo didn't know Zhou's intention in advance, so he picked up a pen and paper without humility. Zhou Mu was very angry at first, and immediately sent someone to watch Wang Bo's writing. Who knows that Wang Bo is brilliant, and his long-accumulated emotions are completely vented. The more articles he writes, the better. When he wrote down the words "The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn water is * * * the sky is one color", he couldn't help but marvel! From then on, Wang Bo became famous in the field of poetry.
Double ninth festival custom
Autumn is crisp, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is rich in activities and interesting, including climbing mountains, enjoying chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating double ninth cake and inserting dogwood.
Climb the peak
In ancient times, Chongyang had the folk custom of climbing, so Chongyang Festival was also called "Climbing Festival". According to legend, this custom began in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are many climbing poems written by scholars in the Tang Dynasty, most of which are the custom of writing the Double Ninth Festival. Du Fu's Seven Laws "Ascending the Mountain" is a famous article about climbing the mountain in Chongyang. There is no uniform rule for climbing mountains. Generally, we climb mountains and towers. There is also the custom of eating "Chongyang cake".
Eat Chongyang cake
According to historical records, Chongyang cake, also known as flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake, is made randomly. It was the original intention of the ancients to make cakes at dawn on September 9. The child put a cake on his head and said a word in his mouth, wishing the child all the best. Exquisite Chongyang cake should be made into nine layers, like a pagoda, with two lambs on it, which conforms to the meaning of Chongyang (sheep). Some people even put red paper flags on Chongyang cakes and light candles. This probably means "lighting a lamp" and "eating cakes" instead of "climbing", and using a red paper flag instead of dogwood. At present, there is still no fixed variety of Chongyang cake, and the soft cakes eaten around Chongyang Festival are called Chongyang cakes.
Enjoy chrysanthemums and drink chrysanthemum wine.
The Double Ninth Festival is the golden autumn season of the year, and chrysanthemums are in full bloom. It is said that appreciating chrysanthemum and drinking chrysanthemum wine originated from Tao Yuanming, a great poet in Jin Dynasty. Tao Yuanming is famous for his seclusion, his poems, his wine and his love for chrysanthemums. Later generations have followed suit, so Chongyang has the custom of enjoying chrysanthemums. In the old days, literati and officialdom also combined chrysanthemum appreciation with banquets in order to get close to Tao Yuanming. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng was the capital, and chrysanthemum appreciation on Chongyang was popular. At that time, there were many varieties and shapes of chrysanthemums. People also call September of the lunar calendar "Chrysanthemum Month". On the Double Ninth Festival, when chrysanthemums are in full bloom in Ao Shuang, watching chrysanthemums has become an important part of the festival. After the Qing dynasty, the habit of enjoying chrysanthemums was particularly prosperous, and it was not limited to September 9, but it was the most prosperous around the Double Ninth Festival.
Evodia rutaecarpa and chrysanthemum
The custom of inserting Evodia rutaecarpa in the Double Ninth Festival was very common in the Tang Dynasty. The ancients thought that inserting Evodia rutaecarpa on the Double Ninth Festival could take refuge and eliminate disasters. Or wear it on your arm, or make a sachet and put it in it, or wear it on your head. Most of them are worn by women and children, and in some places, men also wear them. Ge Hong's Miscellanies of the Western Classics in the Jin Dynasty recorded that Kaunus participated in the Double Ninth Festival. Besides wearing dogwood, people also wear chrysanthemums. This happened in the Tang Dynasty and has been popular since ancient times. In the Qing Dynasty, the custom of Beijing Double Ninth Festival was to stick chrysanthemum branches and leaves on doors and windows, "to get rid of evil and filth, and to make money into treasure". This is the vulgarization of the chrysanthemum on the head. In the Song Dynasty, some people cut ribbons into dogwood and chrysanthemum and gave them to each other.
Drink chong yang wine.
"chong yang wine" is a sweet wine made of high-quality glutinous rice, which is sealed and preserved in a small pottery jar on the Double Ninth Festival. Perhaps because the temperature and humidity are suitable, the brewed wine is particularly mellow, which is the top grade of rice wine, sweet and pure, suitable for men, women and children, and originated from ethnic minorities in northwest China.
"chong yang wine" means "chrysanthemum wine". Every year on the Double Ninth Festival, the earliest chrysanthemums have grown up. When they are about to blossom, this is the perfect material for making "chong yang wine".
National Double Ninth Festival
In addition to the above common customs, there are some unique festivals in various places.
In the official harvest season of the Double Ninth Festival in northern Shaanxi, there is a song that says: "In September, there will be nine Double Ninth Festival, so autumn harvest is busy. Xiaomi, Xiaomi, go up and up. " The Double Ninth Festival in northern Shaanxi is in the evening, and one day is a whole day of harvesting and threshing. In the evening, in the treetops, people like to eat buckwheat noodles and instant-boiled mutton. After dinner, people go out of their homes in twos and threes, climb the nearby hills, light a fire and talk about everything until the cock crows. When climbing mountains at night, many people will pick some wild chrysanthemums and put them on their daughters' heads to ward off evil spirits. In Puxian, Fujian, people follow the ancient custom of steaming nine layers of Chongyang rice fruit. In ancient China, there was a custom of "eating bait" on Double Ninth Festival, which is today's cake and rice fruit. Jade Candle Collection in Song Dynasty said: "Those who drink chrysanthemum wine after the ninth eclipse will harvest millet and glutinous rice at that time, and taste new things because of their sticky taste, thus becoming a habit." Song Zuqian, a poet of Puxian in the early Qing Dynasty, said in "Nine Songs of Fujian": "When you smell the festival near Chongyang, you are shocked to hear the wild incense, and you can pick up the wild incense with your hand basket. The jade pestle is smashed into green powder and the pearl is called Langwei. " Since modern times, people have transformed rice fruit into a unique nine-fold rice fruit. Wash high-quality late rice with clear water, soak it for 2 hours, take it out and drain it, mix it with water and grind it into slurry, add alum (dissolved in water) and stir, add brown sugar (boiled with water to make a thick sugar solution), then put it on a steamer, spread a clean cooking cloth, then scoop in rice slurry for nine times, steam for a few minutes and cook it out, and coat peanut oil on the rice noodles. This rice fruit is divided into nine layers, which can be uncovered and cut into water chestnuts. Four sides are distinct and translucent. It is sweet, soft and delicious, and it doesn't stick to teeth. Respect for the elderly is the best gift for Chongyang.
In some places, people also have the opportunity to climb mountains, sweep graves and commemorate their ancestors in Chongyang. Puxian people worship their ancestors in Chongyang more than Qingming, so there is a saying that there is a small Qingming in March and a big Qingming in September. Due to the coastal area of Puxian, the ninth day of September is also the anniversary of Mazu's ascension to heaven. Villagers often go to the Tianhou Palace and the Palace Temple in Mazu Tempel or Meizhou to pray.

Double ninth festival knowledge
Detailed explanation of Chongyang flower cake and climbing Guo Qingrui
Flowers cake
The origin of Chongyang is based on the Book of Changes, one of China's Five Classics. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, both the month and the day are positive numbers, so it is called Chongyang. Because "nine" is the largest number in single digits, the ancients took "nine" as the highest. For example, in old Beijing, the former gatehouse was described as "nine feet nine", and Li Bai's poem "Doubt is that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days". The ancients believed that "Nine Days" was a symbol of good luck and long-term, and two nine days were the most important, that is, the number met, the number arrived again, and the two yang overlapped. Therefore, they thought this day was an unusual and rare auspicious day, so it was designated as "Double Ninth Festival".
According to historical records, eating cakes on the Double Ninth Festival was recorded as early as in the Miscellanies of Xijing in the Han Dynasty: "On September 9, I ate dogwood, ate bait, drank chrysanthemum wine, and ate people for a long life." Eating Peng bait is eating Peng cake. As for the reason for eating Gao Peng on this day, there is a legend: "There lived an industrious and kind farmer at the foot of an ancient mountain. He was good at doing good deeds and helping others, and lived a self-sufficient life through hard work. One day, the host came back from work and it was getting late. On the way, he met an old man who lived in a house. Without saying anything, he let the old man eat, drink and entertain at his house. When the old man left the next day, he said to his master, "If there is a disaster in your house on September 9, you must move to a higher place, the higher the better, and move to a place with less vegetation, so as to avoid the disaster." "The kind farmer listened to the old man and moved to the mountains. On September 9, the kind farmer looked down from the mountain and saw that the house where he once lived was on fire and the fire spread to the mountain. However, because the farmer listened to the old man and chose a place with little vegetation, the fire did not burn. Since then, the story of climbing mountains to avoid disasters has spread. But it is not easy to move every year. Besides, some places are all plains and there are no mountains to climb. So a wise man came up with a way to eat cake instead of climbing up and moving. Because of the homonym of "cake" and "high", the custom of eating cake in Chongyang can avoid disaster has been passed down to this day.
Eating flower cakes is a long-standing custom in Chongyang, Beijing. With the maturity of making flower cakes, there are many varieties and patterns. According to Zhou Yuhua, a famous pastry chef from South China who sold traditional snacks in his early years, "Chongyang Flower Cake is steamed with rice flour and water wrapped in a drawer cloth, then kneaded evenly and divided into four pieces. One piece of dough is flattened and placed on a chopping board, with a layer of bean paste stuffing and a layer of rice flour. There are also two or three layers, with peach kernels, pine nuts and warm plums in the middle. In the early years, the flower cake in Nanlaishun was made of yellow millet flour (yellow wheat) and white glutinous rice flour, with one layer of black bean paste, one layer of * * * and six layers. It looks layered and brightly colored, with raisins, melon seeds and diced golden cakes in the middle and golden cake strips around it. According to Chi Xiangdong, director of Daoxiang Village Food Factory, "The pastry shop will make flower cakes every year on the Double Ninth Festival, which is actually a two-layer cake baked by Fuqiang powder, with jujube paste stuffing and longan stuffing in the middle. "The Double Ninth Festival is also a festival for the elderly. This year, they will send flowers and cakes to more than 200 centenarians in Beijing.
Climb the peak
Wang Wei, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "I miss my Shandong brothers on a mountain holiday": "Being a stranger alone, I miss my relatives twice every holiday, and I know far where my brothers are climbing, and there is one less person everywhere." A well-known poem shows that it is very popular to insert dogwood on Chongyang Mountain in the Tang Dynasty. Eating Chongyang cake in Beijing was recorded in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a court food. "The Year of Yanjing" says: "The capital is called the Double Ninth Festival. On September 9th, people go out of the country with pots and bottles (K bottles, ancient vessels for holding wine). In the south, there are Tianning Temple, Taoranting, Dragon Claw Sophora and other places, in the north, thrips, Jingqingcheng and other places, and in the far west, there are eight temples and other places to write poems and drink. On this day, we will eat Chongyang Flower Cake with five-color flags on it. People buy back flower cakes and give them to Buddhist temples, ancestral temples or as gifts to relatives and friends.
During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, Yuan Mei wrote in his "Suiyuan Food List": "Boiled chestnuts are very bad, steamed with pure glutinous rice flour and sugar, and pine nuts with melon seeds. This Chongyang snack is also."
There is a poem by Wang Jiacheng in Du Men Zayong in the third year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1864), which was carved by Jia Zi with a flower garden: "Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I saw flowers and cakes everywhere, with two floors of dates and chestnuts, which is a proud sentence for the feast." "Ode to the Old Capital Eating White" said: "Good fruit is embedded with dates as mud, and the Double Ninth Festival cake feast is unforgettable. Climbing to write new poems, why did Liu Lang dare not ask. "
cornel
On the Double Ninth Festival, the branches and leaves of Cornus officinalis are picked. Even the fruits are sewn into small bags with red cloth and worn on the body to ward off evil spirits. It is a folk medicine commonly used in epidemic prevention in ancient times. In the Tang Dynasty, it was very common that the Double Ninth Festival brought honor to heroes. In addition to Wang Wei's "I miss my Shandong brothers on vacation in the mountains", he also wrote "Shi Cun for nine days": "Who will be healthy next year?" Look at dogwood carefully when you are drunk. As for Chu Guangxi's poem "Climbing the Circus": "Tianmen SHEN WOO was a great father, and Jiuri Mountain cornus entertained the Sixth Army. "Written in the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Song Wudi visited the circus at the banquet of the Double Ninth Festival, and regarded Cornus officinalis as a reward for the whole army.
