How to distinguish between the Double Ninth Festival and Qingming Festival?Different times and origins1. The Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Climbing Festival and the Chrysanthemum Festival, falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar every year. The Gregorian calendar date for the Double Ninth Festival in 2018 is Saturday, October 17, 2018. The Double Ninth Festival was formed as early as the Warring States Period. In the Tang Dynasty, it was officially designated as a folk festival and has been passed down from dynasty to dynasty since then.2. Qingming Festival is also called the Outing Festival, which is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, which is the 108th day after the winter solstice. The traditional Qingming Festival began around the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. It is usually around April 5th in the Gregorian calendar. The festival period is very long. There are two sayings: 8 days before the 10th and 10 days after the 10th. These nearly 20 days are all Qingming Festival. Different objects of worship1. Although the Double Ninth Festival is a festival for worshipping gods, its main activity is to climb high places and worship gods. The ancients believed that during the Double Ninth Festival, the air in the sky dropped while the air on the ground rose, the two energies of heaven and earth intersected, and unhealthy air permeated the air. In order to avoid contact with unhealthy energy, one must climb high mountains to avoid the evil energy of the Double Ninth Festival.2. Qingming Festival is a traditional festival for ancestor worship, and the activity is tomb sweeping. Qingming Festival is a day for descendants to remember their ancestors and offer sacrifices to them. Most filial sons and grandchildren will go to cemeteries, crematoriums or columbariums to perform worship ceremonies to express their grief, remembrance and nostalgia for their ancestors. Different meanings1. The Double Ninth Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month. “Jiujiu” is pronounced as “long” in Chinese, which means “for a long time”. Nine is the largest number and has the connotation of longevity. Therefore, the ancients believed that the Double Ninth Festival was an auspicious day worthy of celebration and started to celebrate this festival very early. On the ninth day of every September, the royal family and the people would celebrate the Double Ninth Festival together, and various activities would be held during the festival. People have always had a special feeling for this festival. There are many excellent poems and lyrics in Tang poetry and Song poetry that celebrate the Double Ninth Festival and praise chrysanthemums. With the development of the times, in order to advocate the whole society to establish the culture of respecting, honoring, loving and helping the elderly, the Double Ninth Festival was officially designated as the Senior Citizens' Day in 1989. This is a new expression of the Double Ninth Festival in China in the new era.2. Qingming was originally a very important solar term. When Qingming arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring ploughing and planting. Therefore, there are agricultural proverbs such as "Plant melons and beans around Qingming" and "The best time for afforestation is Qingming". Later, because Qingming and Cold Food Festival were close to each other, and Cold Food Festival was a day when people were forbidden to use fire and sweep tombs, gradually, Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival were merged into one. Cold Food Festival became not only another name for Qingming Festival, but also a custom during the Qingming Festival. On Qingming Festival, people do not use fireworks and only eat cold food. In addition, there are records as early as the Spring and Autumn Period that the origin of Qingming Festival is related to a story of gratitude. Therefore, Qingming Festival is also known as China's Thanksgiving Day. |
