Famous articles about traditional festivals in China.

Chongyang every year, and Chongyang today. The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is a traditional festival in China. Why is the ninth day of September called the Double Ninth Festival? It turns out that this is related to the traditional culture of our country.

In the Book of Changes, yang is nine, that is to say, the number nine represents yang. The ancients thought that on the ninth day of September, the number of date and month was exactly nine, which was the coincidence of two positive numbers, so it was also called "Double Ninth Festival", and this day was also called Double Ninth Festival.

In terms of time and solar terms, the ninth day of September is the late autumn season. At this time, the autumn is crisp, the forest is dyed, and the autumn is thick and romantic. Colorful season, ushered in the Double Ninth Festival, people have reason to make the festival full of ritual.

A series of activities suitable for this season, such as climbing high and looking far, seeing off homesickness, enjoying autumn chrysanthemums, wearing dogwood, offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, and drinking banquets, have therefore entered people's lives, gradually accepted by people in the north and south of the river, and gradually become a custom.

Double Ninth Festival, because it has the same sound as "Jiujiu", has a beautiful meaning. Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, the Double Ninth Festival is an auspicious day, and people have always had special feelings for this festival. There are many excellent poems praising the Double Ninth Festival and chanting chrysanthemums in the past dynasties.

Traditional culture is naturally implanted into traditional festivals, and the two complement each other, which also endows festivals with unique connotations and implications of China traditional culture.

Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem "Wait until the mountain holiday, I will come back when I am in the chrysanthemum", Bai Juyi's poem "Chrysanthemums are blooming all over the garden, and lonely bushes are like frost in them", Wang Wei's poem "A bosom friend climbs far away, and one person can be seen everywhere", and the poetess Li Qingzhao's poem "Double Ninth Festival, jade pillow gauze kitchen, cool in the middle of the night" ...

The famous sentence of Chung Yeung Festival, which has been well-known in poetry for thousands of years, deeply rooted the beauty of this traditional festival and the charm of traditional culture in people's hearts.

In the long river of China's classical poetry, there are countless poems about or related to the Double Ninth Festival. Yan Zeng, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem Ruan Langgui at the banquet of the Double Ninth Festival, which not only wrote some popular customs of the Double Ninth Festival in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also wrote Yan's deep affection. It is a masterpiece with deep feelings for the Double Ninth Festival. The exact words are as follows:

The Palme d 'Or on the horizon was exposed to frost. Clouds grow with geese. Green cup of tea accounts for the benefit of Chongyang. Human feelings are like hometown.

Lanpei purple, chrysanthemum yellow. Diligent and crazy. I want to turn intoxication into sadness. Don't break your heart when you sing.

The first two sentences say: "The Palme d 'Or on the horizon shows frost. Clouds grow with geese. " On the Double Ninth Festival, the poet began to write from the scenery, rendering the scene of the Double Ninth Festival and revealing the poet's foothold. These two sentences are written from the perspective of space and time, which can be said to be straight to the point and point out the theme.

The Book of Rites Moon Order reads: "Qiu Qiu, first frost, Hongyan visited." This description is very consistent with the time of the Double Ninth Festival. Although the Double Ninth Festival is not the traditional 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar, among the 24 solar terms, there is a time difference of two or three days between the Double Ninth Festival and the "first frost".

The poet wrote the characteristics of the Double Ninth Festival from two aspects: meteorology and phenology. On the Double Ninth Festival, the white dew is frost, geese fly out of the clouds in the sky, and the clouds seem to pull out their long wings in the sky.

"The Palme d 'Or is in the horizon" is an allusion quoted by Yan. According to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a 20-foot-high copper column in Chang 'an Zhangjian Palace, on which a bronze statue was cast, and a plate was held in the palm of the bronze statue to receive dew.

Such imaginative and superstitious buildings represent the desire of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to drink "Jade Dew" for immortality, and the architecture of Palme d 'Or also represents that it belongs to the palace.

The "Golden Palm on the Horizon" in Yan Ci does not refer to the palace in the Han Dynasty, but refers to the capital city of Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty. The poet only used these two sentences to summarize the meteorological and phenological characteristics of the Bianliang before and after the Double Ninth Festival.

"Green cup of black tea takes the Double Ninth Festival, and human feelings are like hometown". The former sentence plays a connecting role and is closely and naturally linked. It is pointed out that the first two sentences describe the scenery of the Double Ninth Festival, which also leads to the word "human feelings".

It turns out that Yan is Yan Shu's youngest son. Yan Shu is deeply honored by this and attaches great importance to the education of her children. Yan lives in a good family environment, with both naive nature and brilliant talent.

This is Yan's normal life when she was young. After Yan Shu's death, her family wealth declined and Yan's life fell into poverty. He has more experience of the world, more joy and sadness.

At the beginning, the name of Yan Ci was widely circulated in Beijing. Su Shi asked Huang Tingjian to convey his expectation of getting to know him. He replied, "I haven't taken the time to meet half my old guests in the government hall." At least two points can be seen in the strict tone. First, he was well-off in his early years and was confident in his talent. Although he experienced the decline and neglect of his family, his aristocratic temperament remained undiminished.

The world is cold and human feelings are warm and cold, which inevitably makes Yan, who has experienced all this, have a profound experience. His naivety always brings him emotional twists and turns, and his sadness is accompanied by the rest of his life, so the emotional expression in his words is also very profound.

In a foreign land, on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, a friend invited Yan to dinner, which made the poet who had experienced many vicissitudes of life overjoyed and warmed his heart a lot.

Wine and food, singing and dancing, the taste of the wine drunk that day is the "green cup" that poets are familiar with. The dance performed by the singer at the banquet is a familiar melody that she has watched and heard many times. All this is so familiar, familiar voice, familiar taste, familiar scene, how can it not arouse the emotional waves in the poet's heart?

At the banquet, the custom of the Double Ninth Festival is the same as that in my hometown when I was a child. At this moment, the poet really realized the warmth and coldness of human feelings as his hometown.

I don't care if I can get this warmth after a lot of hardships, but I have a lot of treasures. Although "human feelings are like hometown" is trying to exaggerate the joy brought by the banquet, as mentioned above, if we link the banquet scene with Yan's life experience at this moment, we will understand that it is full of bitter joy.

The first three sentences in the next film, "Lanpeizi, Juchai, Diligent and Old Mad", are a supplement to the third sentence in the last film, and once again describe the activities of the Double Ninth Festival. The words "Lan Peizi, Ju Chai Huang" describe the solemnity and solemnity of the banquet scene, and the people attending the banquet are dressed in exquisite costumes, which further exaggerates the grand occasion of the banquet.

Why did the poet describe the scale of the banquet again in his next film? It is another sound of the poet's feelings. At the banquet, he recalled the warmth and warmth of human feelings, recalled the grand occasion of the Double Ninth Festival in the past, and felt the grand and warm atmosphere of the Double Ninth Festival today.

Therefore, the re-description of the Double Ninth Festival scene in the next film is completely appropriate, both emotionally and intellectually. Not only does it not make the lyrics appear procrastinating, but it makes the lyrics express strong and sincere feelings.

These three sentences are the climax of the whole festival activities, including many levels: the banquet brought emotional and spiritual pleasure to the poet, and the lyrics could have ended with the climax of the banquet, but such an unusual banquet, such a banquet that brought "hometown-like human feelings" to the poet, must have a process of psychological sublimation and cooling.

Therefore, the poet needs to adjust it again. His unbearable prosperous years, unbearable past years and unbearable memories of his youth were all revived in this situation at today's Chongyang banquet.

The layers of setbacks experienced by the poet, countless inner contradictions and emotional twists and turns are intertwined at this moment, which naturally pushes the artistic conception to a deeper level.

At the end of the two sentences, "I want to turn intoxication into sadness, and singing can't hurt my heart", which is summarized above, and then a big turning point leads to many levels. With the warmth of human feelings and the interest of festivals, the sadness hidden in the poet's heart still cannot be dismissed, and he can only hope to forget all his troubles and worries in a drunken state.

Writing here, the meaning of the word has formed a huge emotional gap. Originally, the atmosphere of the Double Ninth Festival was joyful, but the poet's heart became more and more sad, and the poet's sadness masked the joy of the festival. Thus, Yan's heart has been hidden for so many years but has not been told to outsiders how deep the sadness is.

But the poet has no confidence at all. Because of the lack of self-confidence, at this moment, the poet felt that he might even be drunk, so he had to use the tone of command, hoping that the singer who added color to the banquet would not sing a heartbreaking song. Otherwise, not only the sadness in my heart can't be forgotten, but I'm afraid I can't even drink drunk.

It can be seen from Yan's first poem that although his feelings are sincere as always, after experiencing many vicissitudes of life and perceiving many changes in human feelings, his inner sadness is lingering, which has become a normal mood of the poet. Although the people or things that once impressed him, at this moment, he is unwilling to take the initiative to recall all this.

Prosperity is gone, the past is dusty, and the past is gone. What are the benefits of remembering? This will only make you feel worse.

Yan's double ninth festival ci, in which the scenery is concise and lofty, describes the feelings calmly and implies ups and downs. The melody of the word is from soothing to melodious, which is highly consistent with the change of the poet's emotion.

It is precisely because the artistic conception and melody of ci works are so charming and infectious that people really realize that sad words are also very attractive in literary works. Sadness is human nature, deep, beautiful and the most beautiful emotion.
