3. Double Ninth Festival

Double Ninth Festival is a traditional festival in China, which is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year. The number of "Nine" is a positive number in the Book of Changes, and the two positive numbers of "Nine Nine" are heavy, so it is called "Chongyang"; It is also called "Double Ninth Festival", because both the date and the month conform to nine. Returning to the truth of 1999, the ancients thought that 1999 Chongyang was an auspicious day.

4. Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival is the name of Taoism, which is called July and a half in folklore, and it is called Arahara Festival in Buddhism. Its birth can be traced back to ancestor worship and related festivals in ancient times. July is auspicious month and filial month, and July 30 is a festival for people to celebrate the harvest and repay the earth in early autumn. Some crops are ripe, so people should worship their ancestors according to the law and report Qiu Cheng to them with new rice and other sacrifices.

The Origin and Inheritance of Double Ninth Festival

The Double Ninth Festival was formed as early as the Warring States Period. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the atmosphere of the Double Ninth Festival has become increasingly rich, and scholars of all dynasties have chanted it. In the Tang Dynasty, it was officially designated as a folk festival and passed down from generation to generation. Chongyang and the "spring outing" on March 3 are all family members. On Double Ninth Festival, all relatives should climb the mountain together to "avoid disaster".

Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, is a traditional festival in China. Double Ninth Festival is also called Double Ninth Festival, because "nine" is defined as yang number in Yijing, and September 9, two or nine are important, so it is called Double Ninth Festival. The ancients thought that the Double Ninth Festival was an auspicious day to celebrate. Celebrating the Double Ninth Festival generally includes traveling to enjoy autumn, climbing high and overlooking, watching chrysanthemums, planting dogwood all over, eating double ninth cake, drinking chrysanthemum wine and other activities. Later, it became a festival to worship ancestors.
