Traditional folk customs glow with new vitality. What elements of the times does it need to incorporate?

There are many folk activities in the Double Ninth Festival with rich cultural connotations. The ancients believed that climbing Evodia rutaecarpa on the Double Ninth Festival could repel insects, damp and wind. In Wang Wei's "I miss my Shandong brothers in a mountain holiday", the poem "I know where my brothers climb, but I need one person to plant dogwood everywhere" vividly shows the ancient custom of "planting dogwood everywhere". In the thousands of years of baptism, the Double Ninth Festival also spawned activities such as climbing high and overlooking, watching chrysanthemums, giving banquets to respect the elderly, eating double ninth cake and drinking chrysanthemum wine.

"Different winds in ten miles, different customs in a hundred miles". The Double Ninth Festival has lasted for thousands of years, and the customs and habits of different places are also different. For example, in the customs of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, Qingming is the "Spring Festival" and Chongyang is the "Autumn Festival". On September 9th, cattle and sheep will be allowed to feed on their own in Longan County, Guangxi, and fly kites for fun in the Double Ninth Festival in Haicheng County, Fujian Province. On the Double Ninth Festival, Nanjing people will cut five-color paper into inclined planes, weave flags and insert them in the court. In the vast rural areas of Shaanxi, green dogwood will be planted in front of every household, and neighbors will also give gifts to each other. After years of baptism, folk culture has been passed down from generation to generation. The Tang Dynasty is an important period when traditional festival customs are mixed and shaped, and its main part has been passed down to this day. For example, in the folk concept, "nine" is the largest number in the number, which places people's wishes for the health and longevity of the elderly. Although the folk culture varies from place to place, climbing high to appreciate autumn and giving thanks to respect for the elderly have become two important themes of the Double Ninth Festival. This shows that although China culture can be passed down from generation to generation, an important reason lies in its tolerance.
