3. Double Ninth Festival

Chongyang origin

In the ancient concept of yin and yang, nine was regarded as yang number. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the sun will meet every day of every month, so people call this day Chongyang, also known as the Double Ninth Festival. As for the origin of many customs of the Double Ninth Festival, some people think that it originated from the activities of sacrificing stars, while others think that it is related to the ancient harvest customs. The Double Ninth Festival has developed into what we are today and has undergone many changes.

Chongyang gaodeng wing cake

At dawn on September 9th, put a cake on the child's head 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 in Chongyang Festival all over the country are called Chongyang cakes.

Chongyang cake is not only eaten at home, but also fed to relatives and friends, called "sending cake"; I also invited my married daughter to have a cake at home and called it "Ying Ning".

There are poems describing the making of Chongyang cake:

Cai Yun:

The bonfire is ringing and the machine is busy at night.

As soon as the weaver drinks Gordon's wine,

It's still a storm,

The smell of steamed jujube cakes is everywhere in the shop.

Double ninth festival chrysanthemum wine

In ancient times, chrysanthemum wine was specially brewed for the Double Ninth Festival in the first year. On September 9th, the budding chrysanthemums and a little green branches and leaves were picked, mixed with grain for brewing, and then used together to make wine for drinking on September 9th of the following year. It is said that drinking this wine can prolong life. From a medical point of view, chrysanthemum wine can improve eyesight, cure dizziness, lower blood pressure, lose weight, lose weight, tonify liver qi, regulate stomach and nourish blood. This is a festive season, autumn is crisp, chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the windows are golden. In addition to climbing the mountain and inserting dogwood, relatives and friends also invited each other to drink chrysanthemum wine and enjoy yellow flowers. They really had a good time. Poets, in particular, admire chrysanthemums, drink wine and recite poems as a reward, leaving many good sentences for future generations.

Because of chrysanthemum wine, Chongyang became bacchanalia who offered sacrifices to Dionysus. For example, according to the introduction of "Shandong Folk Double Ninth Festival", Shandong Brewery worships the god of jars on the Double Ninth Festival, and the god of jars is Du Kang. In Maotai Town, Renhuai County, Guizhou Province, medicinal materials are used to make wine every year. Legend has it that good wine is brewed because of the strength of 1999 Yang. Whenever the wine is brewed for the first time, the boss lights incense sticks at the place where the "God of Du Kang's Ancestor" is affixed, and places offerings to pray for the smooth brewing (see "Folklore of China Taking Britain"). In Ningyuan, Hunan Province, on September 9th every year, "chong yang wine must compete for wine celebration". These customs show that Chongyang has a deep relationship with wine.

4. Mid-Autumn Festival

For the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone must know such a romantic and beautiful fairy tale. That's the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon.

According to legend, in ancient times, there were ten days in the sky at the same time, the crops died in the sun and the people were poor. A hero named Hou Yi has infinite power. He sympathized with the suffering people, climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, made full use of his divine power, drew his bow, shot down more than nine suns in one breath, and ordered the last one to rise and fall on time for the benefit of the people.

So Hou Yi was criticized by the people? Hey? Are you jealous of sodium and cherry blossoms? Market Gap: What? Sugarcane condyle? Is the stick pushed with glaze? What about the shackles and stalks? Refute Mu Mu? Grasshopper? br & gt

Many people with lofty ideals came here to study as teachers, and Meng Peng with ulterior motives joined in.

One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek truth. He happened to meet the Queen Mother passing by and asked her for a bag of elixir. It is said that taking this medicine can instantly ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to temporarily give the elixir to Chang 'e. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the dresser's treasure chest, but the villain Meng Peng saw it. He wants to steal the elixir to make himself immortal.

Three days later, Hou Yi led his entourage out hunting, while Meng Peng with ulterior motives pretended to be ill. Shortly after Hou Yi led the crowd to leave, Meng Peng broke into the backyard of the back room with a sword in his hand, threatening Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e knew that she was no match for Meng Peng. In times of crisis, she made a decisive decision, turned around and opened the treasure chest, took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. Chang 'e swallowed the medicine and immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window and flew into the sky. Because Chang 'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy.

In the evening, when Hou Yi came home, the maids cried and told what happened during the day. Hou Yi was surprised and angry, and drew his sword to kill the villain. Meng Peng escaped early. Angry and heartbroken, Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and shouted the name of his beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon is exceptionally bright and bright. There is a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e. He chased the moon desperately, but he chased it three times, the moon retreated three times, he retreated three times, and the moon advanced three times. He couldn't catch up anyway.

Hou Yi had no choice but to miss his wife, so he had to send someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, put on a table sweetmeats, put on her favorite honey and fresh fruit, and offer a sacrifice to Chang 'e who was attached to him at the Moon Palace. After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, people made an incense table under the moon and prayed for good luck and peace to the kind Chang 'e.

Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people.

However, the moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival are also a beautiful implication. They are round, symbolizing reunion and reflecting people's good wishes for family reunion.

It should be enough for you to set up a special topic every festival.
