The customs of the Double Ninth Festival are:
1, ancestor worship
Double Ninth Festival is one of the four traditional ancestral festivals in China. In ancient times, there was a tradition of praying for the ancestors, especially in Lingnan area, people held ancestor worship activities every year on the Double Ninth Festival. Sacrificing ancestors and looking far up the mountain are to enhance people's cultural identity and strengthen the cohesion of family and society. However, with the development of history, many local people's concept of ancestor worship in Chongyang has become increasingly weak.
Step 2 enjoy chrysanthemums
On the Double Ninth Festival, there has always been the custom of enjoying chrysanthemums, so it was also called Chrysanthemum Festival in ancient times. Chrysanthemum is a natural flower. Because of its bright colors, Ao Shuang is in full bloom, forming a chrysanthemum culture of appreciating and praising chrysanthemums. In September of the lunar calendar, commonly known as Chrysanthemum Month, there is a chrysanthemum meeting on holidays, and people from all over the city go to the meeting to enjoy chrysanthemums.
In the ancient customs of China, chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity, and is also praised by scholars as the unyielding symbol of first frost. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms, it has become a fashion for Chongyang parties to drink and admire chrysanthemums and compose poems.
Step 3: climb the mountain
Mountain climbing is an important custom of the Double Ninth Festival. In the Han dynasty, this custom came from the story that Huanjing, a native of Runan, climbed a mountain on September 9 to avoid disaster. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the date of mountaineering was set on September 9th. The Chronicle of Jingchu said that on September 9, people from all walks of life went to the suburbs to climb mountains and hold a banquet to drink.
