Why climb the Double Ninth Festival?

0 1 The Double Ninth Festival is also called ascensiontide. It is said that climbing on the Double Ninth Festival can avoid disaster, so this custom has been handed down. In addition, climbing on the Double Ninth Festival also means exorcism, blessing, gratitude, gathering and farewell.

Double Ninth Festival, also called Mountaineering Festival, is an important traditional festival in China. Every year on the Double Ninth Festival, people will have the custom of climbing high and looking far. This custom mainly comes from a story.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a young man named Huan Jing in runan county, with both parents and a wife and a son. Although life is hard, you can get by with half a meal. Who knows, unfortunate things have come. There are plagues on both sides of the Ruhe River, every family is sick, and no one is burying bodies everywhere. This year, Huan Jing's parents also died of illness.

When Huan Jing was a child, he heard adults say: There is a plague demon living in Ruhe River, who travels around the world every year. It takes the plague everywhere. Huan Jing is determined to learn from the teacher and destroy the evil for the people. I heard that there lived a big fairy named Fei Changfang on the southeast mountain, so he packed his bags and set off for the mountain to learn from his teacher.

Fei Changfang gave Huan Jing a demon-reducing dragon sword. Huan Jing got up early and went to bed late, dressed in Dai Yue, and practiced day and night. Another year in a blink of an eye. Huan Jing was practicing sword that day, and Fei Changfang came over and said to him that on September 9 this year, the plague of Ruhe would come out again. Hurry back to your hometown and kill people. I'll send you a bag of dogwood leaves and a bottle of chrysanthemum wine, so that the elders in your hometown can climb high to avoid disaster. ?

Huan Jing returned to his hometown and called the villagers. Tell everyone what daxian said. On September 9, he led his wife, children and fellow villagers to a nearby mountain. Cornus officinalis leaves are divided into pieces, saying that they can be carried with you, so plague demons can't get close. Then pour out the chrysanthemum wine, and everyone pecked it, saying that drinking chrysanthemum wine would not catch the plague. After arranging the villagers, he returned home with his dragon sword to subdue the demon, sitting alone in the house, waiting for the arrival of the plague demon and struggling to subdue the demon.

After a while, I heard Ruhe roaring and the strange wind spinning. The god of plague came out of the water and walked ashore through the village. There is no one in thousands of families. Suddenly, he looked up and saw people gathering on the high mountain. It jumped to the foot of the mountain and only felt the pungent smell of alcohol. Kaunus was so anxious that he couldn't climb near, so he turned around and walked to the village. I saw a man sitting in the room. Just shout and jump forward. Huan Jing saw that athel Loren was coming, so he drew his sword to fight. After several rounds, Yao Wen fought him, but he ran away. Are you quiet? With a whoosh, I threw the dragon sword, and with a bang, I saw the sword flashing cold light and chasing the plague demon, piercing my heart and falling to the ground.

Since then, the people on both sides of the Ruhe River have never been harmed by the plague demon. The story of climbing a mountain on September 9 to avoid disaster and stabbing a demon to death with the sword handed down from generation to generation has been passed down from son to grandson and has been passed down to the present. Since then, there has been the custom of climbing mountains on the ninth day of September to avoid disaster.
