Why is there a tradition of climbing and praying on the first day of New Year's Day?

China has a tradition of climbing high and praying for blessings on the first day of the New Year, which means that the New Year will be promoted step by step.

The ancients were keen on climbing mountains in the crisp autumn season, initially to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and later gradually turned into entertainment, health care and emotional activities. Mountain climbing originated from ancient worship of mountain gods. Believe that mountain gods can save people from disaster. The ancients thought that "nine is Lao Yang, and the anode will change", and the number of Lao Yang on September 9th was both a month and a day, which was unlucky.

At first, people had to worship mountain gods for peace and good luck, and later it gradually evolved into an entertainment activity. In the sense of "climbing the mountain", climbing the mountain means cherishing the time to leave besides enjoying the autumn. September 9th is the end of autumn. At this time, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery before the curtain call and meditate on the grace of heaven and earth in your heart, expressing your reluctance to part with this idea.
