A brief introduction to the origin and customs of Double Ninth Festival.

The origin and customs of the Double Ninth Festival are as follows:

I. Origin

The origin of the name "Chongyang" was named after "Yang is nine" in the ancient book I Ching. In the Book of Changes, "six" is defined as yin number, "nine" is defined as yang number, and "extreme number" means that the height of the sky is "nine times". "Nine" is the Lao Yang, which is the anode number. The two anode numbers are combined, 1999 is unified, one yuan starts, and Vientiane is updated. Therefore, the ancients thought that Chongyang was an auspicious day to celebrate. In ancient times, there was a custom of drinking to pray for longevity.

On the ninth day of September, the sun and every month meet on the ninth day, which means "the weight of 29", so it is called "double ninth". At the same time, the two yang numbers are combined, so it is called "double ninth". In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dai wrote "Night Flight": "Nine is the yang number, and its day coincides with the month, so it is called' Chongyang'."

Second, the customs.

Flying kites is one of the main customs of the Double Ninth Festival in southern China. The folk Double Ninth Festival is characterized by flying kites. Guangxu's "Huizhou Fuzhi" is also recorded. In the folk tradition, besides climbing mountains, flying kites is also a major feature of the Double Ninth Festival.
