How did the ancients celebrate the Double Ninth Festival? Climbing high in ancient times, people had the custom of climbing high on the Double Ninth Festival, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Climbing High Festival". According to legend, this custom began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and many climbing poems were written by scholars in the Tang Dynasty, most of which were 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 are no uniform rules for climbing anywhere. Generally, you climb mountains and towers, and have the custom of eating Chongyang cake.

According to historical records, Chongyang cake is also called flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake. At dawn on the ninth day of September, put a cake on the child's forehead and say something in his mouth, wishing the child all the best. This is the original intention of the ancients to make cakes in September. 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.

Watching chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine The Double Ninth Festival is the golden autumn season of the year, and chrysanthemums are in full bloom. It is said that watching chrysanthemums 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 atmosphere of chrysanthemum appreciation was particularly prosperous, and it was not limited to the ninth day of September, but it was the most prosperous around the Double Ninth Festival.

The custom of inserting dogwood and chrysanthemum in dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival has been very common in the Tang Dynasty.

Or wear it on your arm, or make a sachet, put Cornus officinalis in it and 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 the Double Ninth Festival in Beijing was to stick chrysanthemum branches and leaves on the doors and windows, so as to "get rid of evil and filth, and make money and treasure", which was 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.

How do Hong Kong people celebrate the Double Ninth Festival?

The Double Ninth Festival is a legal holiday in Hong Kong. Since the opening of Hongkong, festivals have generally been held in accordance with the customs of China. Among them, Tomb-Sweeping Day is a Spring Festival and Chung Yeung Festival is a holiday, which is a natural autumn festival. Therefore, the worship of Chongyang Mountain is a long-standing custom of Hong Kong people.

When Chongyang arrives, Hong Kong people either climb the mountain with their families or go to the grave to worship their ancestors. Since the main cemeteries in Hong Kong are all on the mountains, it is quite timely to climb the mountain while sweeping the graves.

A few days before the Double Ninth Festival, Hong Kong citizens began to sweep graves one after another. The SAR also announced the traffic arrangements near the cemetery in advance and reminded the public to pay attention to fire prevention.

Most of these grave-sweepers take one or several families as units, and pay homage to their ancestors with rich sacrifices and incense sticks.

According to the author's friend in Hong Kong, many Hong Kong people will sweep graves and worship their ancestors before taking their families to eat and drink and going out for an outing. So the road to the cemetery in the morning is particularly crowded.

The custom of ancestor worship in Chongyang originated from the local aborigines.

According to historical records, the custom of ancestor worship in Hong Kong originated from the Liao nationality in Shangshui, and it was one of the earliest nationalities who settled in the New Territories. Liao country still retains this custom, and its autumn festival scene is very huge. However, in terms of the number of participants, the form and scale of worship, it is different from the ancestor worship activities of the indigenous inhabitants of the New Territories.

According to records, the ancestor worship of the indigenous inhabitants of the New Territories is usually divided into three times: the first time is a private grave-sweeping, that is, a small family-style ancestor worship; The second time is to sweep the grave, ranging from a few households to more than ten households; The third time was a collective grave-sweeping, that is, the whole village shared the same surname, and all the people who moved out or lost came to worship their ancestors in groups.

People of ethnic minorities usually bring roast pigs, three wine offerings, chopsticks, cups and plates, sickles and other utensils. At the ancestral graves, some people build stoves with stones and cook traditional dishes, while others clean up weeds and rubbish at the graves.

In addition to following some common customs of the Double Ninth Festival, Hong Kong experts pointed out that autumn is the season to eat hairy crabs, but after the Double Ninth Festival, the quality of hairy crabs will be better, and the Double Ninth Festival is the best time to eat hairy crabs.
