The contents of the lunar calendar are different for each different day. The ninth month of the lunar calendar is the ninth month of the year. It is a time of clear and cool autumn weather and blooming chrysanthemums. September is the golden month of harvest. Come to Mr. Shui Mo's website to learn more about September of the lunar calendar in 2019!What is the origin of the Double Ninth Festival?①The origin of Double Ninth Festival can be traced back to before the Qin Dynasty. The "Jiu Qiu Ji" in "Lüshi Chunqiu" records: "(In September) the household steward is ordered to prepare for the harvest and to collect the five important kinds of crops. The harvest is stored in the emperor's register in the sacred granary, and it must be handled with great respect and care." "On this day, a great feast is held to the emperor, sacrifices are offered, and the preparations are reported to the emperor." This shows that at that time there were already activities to offer sacrifices to the emperor of heaven and ancestors when the crops were harvested in September in autumn to thank the emperor of heaven and ancestors for their kindness. In the Han Dynasty, "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" recorded that Jia Pelan, a palace lady of the Western Han Dynasty, said: "On the ninth day of the ninth month, people wear dogwood, eat puffball, and drink chrysanthemum wine, which is said to make people live longer." It is said that from this time on, the custom of praying for longevity on the Double Ninth Festival began. This was influenced by the ancient wizards (later Taoist priests) who pursued immortality and collected medicines for consumption. At the same time, there are large-scale banquets, which developed from the banquets celebrating the harvest in the pre-Qin period. ②One of the prototypes of the Double Ninth Festival is the ancient ceremony of worshiping the big fire. The "big fire" (i.e. Antares), which was the symbol of the ancient seasons, retreated in September of the autumn season. "Xia Xiaozheng" called it "the inner fire of September". The retreat of the big fire not only made the ancients who always used the big fire as a symbol of seasonal production and seasonal life lose their time coordinates, but also made the ancients who worshipped the big fire as a god feel inexplicable fear. The hibernation of the fire god means the arrival of a long winter. Therefore, during the "inner fire" season, just as there should be a fire-welcoming ceremony when it appears, people should hold corresponding farewell ceremonies.How about the Double Ninth Festival in 2019?Lunar calendar: September 9, 2019Gregorian calendar: October 7, 2019, Monday, Libra 【Today’s lunar calendar is suitable】 [Do not use it for important events on the day of the red yarn] Fasting and offering sacrifices, praying for offspring and wealth, taking up a post, lifting the post, breaking ground, collecting money, planting, attending school, tailoring, opening the market, and wearing a hairpin [Today’s taboos in the almanac] [Do not use it for important events on the day of the red yarn] Moving, moving into a new house, installing incense, litigation, marriage, raising beams, burying, erecting pillars, offering sacrifices and praying, setting up beds, building beds, burials, moving coffins, breaking ground, drilling, opening warehouses, receiving livestock, buying property, receiving betrothal gifts, releasing water, traveling, going out to seek medical treatment According to the lunar calendar, the Double Ninth Festival in 2019 is a day when "red gauze is inauspicious, so don't do anything important".
