Customs of the Chrysanthemum Festival

Appreciation of chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums are the most famous flower in China, and the most famous flower for longevity. At the time of "frost, only this grass flourishes", chrysanthemum has become a symbol of vitality due to its unique character.

The Chrysanthemum Festival has always been a custom of viewing chrysanthemums, which is why it was also called the Chrysanthemum Festival in the ancient times, and it was believed that chrysanthemums were a symbol of longevity, and chrysanthemum assemblies and chrysanthemum exhibitions were held in many places during the festival, with the whole city coming out to enjoy the chrysanthemums.

Since the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin Dynasties, it has become a custom to gather and drink wine, enjoy chrysanthemums and write poems at Chongyang.

(During the vacation period, chrysanthemum viewing with this cup of chrysanthemum tea, which clears away heat and toxins, is the best thing in life. It's a great choice for yourself or as a gift for your parents.)

Advance to the top

One of the most important festivals of Chrysanthemum Festival is to ascend to the top. Therefore, the Chongyang Festival is also called the "Festival of Ascending Heights". There is no standardized rule on where to go, but generally it is to climb high mountains and towers.

Of course, people are not only climbing, but also to view the mountain leaves and wildflowers, and drink and eat meat, enjoy some, so that the combination of climbing and wild feast, more attractive. Such as the Sui Sun Simiao "Qianjin Fang - month": "Chongyang day, will be to see the wine to climb high and far away, for the time of the banquet tour ornamental, in order to enjoy the fall. Wine must pick cornelian cherry, chrysanthemum to pan, that is, drunk and return."

Southern Song Dynasty Han Yuanji "Song of Water - Nine Days" on the first piece: "Today I am the ninth day of the year, do not live up to the chrysanthemum blossoms. Try to find a high place, hand in hand to regulate the exhibition on Cuiwei. Putting eyes on the pale cliffs of ten thousand ren, cloud protection dawn frost formation, know I come with you. Ancient temple leaning on the bamboo, flying threshold absolute tip E." Describes the rhyme of chrysanthemum appreciation and scenery of the Chongyang Festival.

Because the Chrysanthemum Festival is an autumnal festival, the grass and trees begin to wither after the festival, so some people call the Chrysanthemum Festival picnic "resignation of the green", which corresponds to the March spring tour "treading the green".

Qing Pan Rong ah, "the Imperial capital of the times of record" records: "(Chung Yeung) have to rule to see with a drink in the countryside of each door to drink all day, called 'resignation of the green.'" This is also a rather poetic name.

(I would like to say, whether it is their own or their parents, the premise of fun hiking is to have a good body. All the time to pay attention to health and fitness. Might as well try the editor's magic weapon to get rid of dampness.)
