What do people want to express when the Double Ninth Festival is inserted with Evodia rutaecarpa? Why are there so few people inserting dogwood now?

Among the traditional festivals in our country, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed. It is a very important festival in a year, which takes less than a month. Why is there the Double Ninth Festival at this time?

Of course, many people will say that the Double Ninth Festival, the "Nine" in China's traditional culture, is a big sun line, and its actual meaning looks different, so it should be commemorated anyway. Leisure finance used to discuss 24 solar terms with you. The wisdom of the ancients set the rest day according to the season, based on the premise of farming civilization, scientifically and normatively, rather than relying on "temporary enthusiasm"!

Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the busy farming season in autumn. The distribution of rest days is to inform ordinary people to "have nothing to do", which means to enjoy a bumper harvest. The influence of Mid-Autumn Festival is unshakable. Looking back on the Double Ninth Festival, no matter how much you praise it, its influence is slightly lower than that of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Double Ninth Festival appeared around first frost. In other words, at this time, the busy farming season has basically ended, and most of the grain crops have returned to the warehouse and entered the winter leisure stage.

At this time, the temperature is "not like spring, but better than spring", and the autumn is crisp. After one year, we must be far-sighted, cultivate self-cultivation, and at the same time undertake the mission of harvest sacrifice and ancestor worship. Coupled with this "September 9", a seemingly auspicious day, the Double Ninth Festival was born at this time.

Then why do you want to enjoy chrysanthemums and dogwoods on the Double Ninth Festival? The custom with a long history is not so mysterious, but it has been given a new meaning in thousands of years of inheritance, which leads to mystery, and because we return to the source of crustal movement, we can naturally see the changes of the custom of the Double Ninth Festival.

When there is a bumper harvest in a year, I feel happy, far-sighted and pay homage to my ancestors. Even without beautiful scenery, I feel happy, and my life is full of beautiful scenery.

Therefore, Huang Juhua is particularly admirable. Everyone thinks peony flowers are beautiful, but they are not as rich as those in Huang Juhua, which is also the reason.

The so-called "four gentlemen in flowers" is not really beautiful after all, and Confucian modest gentlemen are more famous. In addition to the reputation of "four gentlemen in flowers", it is also known as "longevity flower".

Does Huang Juhua live long? The time is not much different from other bloom, and they often live longer. It originated from the record in Shen Nong's Herbal Classic in Han Dynasty: "Huang Juhua can keep fit and prolong life if he takes it for a long time". So later generations made chrysanthemum wine.

Evodia rutaecarpa is the most realistic and pragmatic worker in the Double Ninth Festival. Since it is farsighted, it is inevitable to engage in some outdoor activities. A plant in Cornus officinalis not only contains fragrance, but also can kill insects, sterilize, drive away cold and wind. It is obviously a Chinese herbal medicine.

In the countryside, wearing dogwood may be of great help in preventing mosquito bites. Later, it was said that wearing dogwood could "exorcise evil spirits", but it gave another meaning. Mosquito prevention is fundamental.

However, in the traditional sense, there is a difference between the ancient people wearing dogwood and what Wang Wei said, "planting dogwood everywhere." Wearing dogwood is a kind of sachet that ancient people like to wear. Ordinary sachets contain all kinds of spices, while dogwood sachets, to put it bluntly, contain crushed dogwood. Wearing Cornus officinalis can be basically divided into two situations: First, wearing Cornus officinalis sachets, mostly for women and children, and naturally some men who love beauty will wear them. Second, put dogwood directly on his arm.

Wang Wei's "Putting Cornus officinalis everywhere" did not put Cornus officinalis on his arm, but on his head, which almost showed the generosity of a man in Shanxi at that time.

Because the title of Wang Wei's poem is "I miss my brothers on vacation in the mountains of Shandong", it is obvious that the way to put dogwood directly on his head is usually done by old people. They don't care about beauty and generosity, but only about the convenience of the map. When climbing the mountain, they blocked the top and threw away the dogwood when they came home from the mountain.

In other words, in ancient times, wearing dogwood sachets was more widely used than inserting Evodia rutaecarpa. Why do you think this folk custom has declined? Leisure finance believes that this is actually related to social and economic development and technological innovation. Sachet bags were very common in ancient times, but they are particularly rare in contemporary times. Mainly replaced by eau de toilette, there are many mosquito-repellent toilet water!

So the sachet of Cornus officinalis declined, and no one came to insert Cornus officinalis.
