Brief Introduction to the Origin of Double Ninth FestivalOrigin of Double Ninth Festival 1. Harvest FestivalThe origin of the Double Ninth Festival can be traced back to ancient times. According to legend, Double Ninth Festival is the day when Emperor Yuan attained enlightenment. The earliest existing written record of the customs and activities of the Double Ninth Festival can be found in "Lüshi Chunqiu·Ji Qiuji": "(In September) the household steward is ordered to prepare for the harvest and collect the five important kinds of crops. The harvest is stored in the emperor's warehouse, and it must be stored with great respect and care. On this day, a great feast is held to the emperor, and sacrifices are tried, and the preparations are reported to the emperor." It can be seen that at that time there were activities to worship the Emperor of Heaven and ancestors when the crops were harvested in September to thank the Emperor of Heaven and ancestors for their kindness. This is the original form of the Double Ninth Festival as a sacrificial activity in ancient times. At the same time, there are large-scale banquets, which developed from the banquets celebrating the harvest in the pre-Qin period. Worshiping gods and ancestors, praying for longevity, and feasting constitute the basic content of the Double Ninth Festival. Origin of Double Ninth Festival 2. Worshiping the “Big Fire” (Antares) One of the prototypes of the Double Ninth Festival is the ancient ritual of worshiping "big fire". "The Big Fire" (Antares) is the time coordinate used by the ancients to determine seasonal production and seasonal life. In ancient times, people divided the constellations near the ecliptic into 28 groups according to the orbits and positions of the sun, moon and stars, commonly known as the "28 Mansions". In the east, Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji form a complete dragon-shaped constellation (the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon). When farming begins in spring, the Blue Dragon's Seven Stars begin to slowly rise in the eastern night sky, and the first to appear is the bright dragon head - the Horn Star. In summer, when crops grow, the Blue Dragon's Seven Stars hang high in the southern night sky. In autumn, when the crops are harvested, the Blue Dragon's Seven Stars begin to retreat in the west. In winter, when all things are hidden, the Blue Dragon's Seven Stars hide below the northern horizon. In the late autumn season, the "Big Fire" (Antares) retreats. The hibernation of the god of fire means the arrival of a long winter. Therefore, when the "Big Fire" retreats in the late autumn season, people hold corresponding farewell ceremonies. With the development of society, people have a new understanding of the seasons, and the ritual of worshiping the God of Fire in September has gradually declined. Although the details of the ancient sacrificial ceremonies are vague and difficult to understand, we can still find some traces of ancient customs in the later customs of worshiping the Kitchen God (the god of fire in the home) on the Double Ninth Festival in some areas of the south of the Yangtze River. The ancients used the heavenly stems and earthly branches to calculate the era, and calculated according to the order of the twelve earthly branches. The first month is the month of Yin, and the ninth month is the month of Xu. Xu is the fire storehouse, and fire is stored in the storehouse in the month of Xu. Xu is located in the northwest direction within the Qian Gua of Luoshu. In the last month of autumn, "Big Fire" (Antares) retreats into the ground in the northwest along with several stars in front of the Canglong group of stars. "The Book of Changes·Qian Gua": Using nine, seeing a group of dragons without a leader, is auspicious. In traditional culture, during the Double Ninth Festival in late autumn, the “big fire” retreats and is in the process of transformation from Qian to Kun. The virtue of Qian is strong, while the virtue of Kun is gentle. Having both is a good omen. Is your fate with him/her destined? Will you be happy together?
