Analysis of Double Ninth Festival customs!Double Ninth Festival customs: eating Chongyang cakeAccording to historical records, Chongyang cake is also known as flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake. There is no fixed method to make it and it is rather casual. At dawn on September 9th, people would place a piece of cake on their children’s foreheads and chant something, wishing their children success in everything. This was the original intention of the ancients making cakes in September. The elaborate Double Ninth Festival cake is made into nine layers, like a pagoda, with two lambs made on top to match the meaning of Double Ninth Festival (sheep). Some people even put a small red paper flag on the Chongyang cake and light candles. This probably means using "lighting lamps" and "eating cakes" instead of "climbing high", and using small red paper flags instead of dogwood. There is still no fixed variety of Chongyang cake today. The soft cakes eaten on Chongyang Festival in various places are all called Chongyang cake. Double Ninth Festival Customs: Climbing One of the most important festival activities during the Double Ninth Festival is climbing mountains. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called the "Climbing Festival." There is no uniform rule on where to climb, but it usually means climbing mountains or towers. Of course, people go up mountains not only to climb, but also to admire the red leaves and wild flowers on the mountains, drink wine and eat meat, and enjoy themselves. Combining climbing with wild feasts makes it more attractive. Since the Double Ninth Festival is an autumn festival, and the grass and trees begin to wither after the festival, some people call the Double Ninth Festival picnic activities "Ci Qing", which corresponds to the spring outing "Ta Qing" in March. Double Ninth Festival Customs: Appreciating Chrysanthemums my country is the hometown of chrysanthemum, and cultivating chrysanthemum has been very common since ancient times. Chrysanthemum is a flower of longevity and is praised by literati as a symbol of unyieldingness in the face of frost. Therefore, people love and praise it, and large-scale chrysanthemum exhibitions are often held. Chrysanthemum exhibitions are naturally held on the Double Ninth Festival, because chrysanthemum and the Double Ninth Festival are so closely related; therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Chrysanthemum Festival, and chrysanthemum is also called the Nine Flowers. Appreciating chrysanthemums has become an integral part of the Double Ninth Festival customs. Double Ninth Festival Customs: Wearing Dogwood There is a custom of wearing dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival, so it is also called the "Dogwood Festival." Dogwood is an important symbol of the Double Ninth Festival. People also like to wear chrysanthemums during the Double Ninth Festival. Cornus officinalis is elegantly known as the "evil-repellent man" and chrysanthemum is also known as the "longevity guest". "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that Cornus officinalis has a spicy and fragrant smell, is warm in nature, and can cure cold and expel toxins. The ancients believed that wearing dogwood could ward off evil and disasters. Double Ninth Festival customs: feasting to pray for longevity The custom of praying for longevity on the Double Ninth Festival can be found in the Han Dynasty as early as the existing documents. The "Miscellaneous Records of Western Capital" of the Han Dynasty records: "On the ninth day of the ninth month, people wear dogwood, eat puffballs, and drink chrysanthemum wine, which is said to make people live longer. The "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" says: "On the ninth day of the ninth month, all kinds of people gather together for feasts in the wild. ” Du Gongzhan of the Sui Dynasty commented: "It is unknown when the banquet on September 9th started, but it has not been changed since the Song Dynasty." On the basis of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, praying for longevity and feasting were added to form the basis of the Double Ninth Festival. The large-scale banquets during the Double Ninth Festival actually developed from the banquets and feasts for harvest celebrations in the Pre-Qin period. Double Ninth Festival Customs: Saying Goodbye to Qing The ancients often regarded Double Ninth Festival and Shangsi (Qingming Festival) as corresponding major festivals in Spring and Autumn. If Shangsi (Qingming Festival) is a festival for people to go out and stroll after a long winter, then Chongyang is an autumn outing with ritual significance when the autumn chill arrives and people are about to retire. Therefore, there is a folk custom of "going out for a walk" on Qingming Festival and "saying goodbye to the cold" on Chongyang Festival. The new year of 2019 has already begun.
