Shuimoxiansheng.com will take you to understand every day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar in 2019.What are the legends and stories about the Double Ninth Festival?Legend 1:According to legend, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man who was said to be able to predict the future and he had several apprentices. One day, he said to his apprentice Huan Jing, "On the day of the 29th day of the lunar month, your whole family will be in great trouble." He told Huan Jing to go back quickly and make a red cloth bag for each member of the family and put some cornel flowers in it. On that day, the whole family would tie the red cloth bags on their arms, take some chrysanthemum and moon wine, and go to the mountains to spend the day. This way the disaster can be avoided. Huan Jing did everything his master said. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Huan Jing and his family spent the whole day high in the mountains and did not come down until dusk. When he got home, he found that all the chickens and dogs he had raised were dead. Huan Jing ran to ask his master what was going on, and the master told him: "If this poultry had not served as a scapegoat, your whole family would have been in trouble." From then on, the custom of climbing high places on September 9th of each year became popular. Nine is a yang number, and September 9th is the day when two ninths of the lunar calendar appear twice, so it is also called "Double Ninth Festival." Legend 2: Huangdi is the cultural ancestor of our Chinese nation. We hold sacrifices to him on every important festival. According to legend, September 9 is the day when Emperor Huangdi died. It is said in the "Jijun Family Bamboo Slips": "After Huangdi passed away, one of his ministers named Zuo Che carved a statue of Huangdi from wood and led the princes to pay homage to it. Therefore, Sikong Zhang Maoxian's "Bowuzhi" also said: "After Huangdi passed away, his ministers missed him so much that some carved a statue of Huangdi from wood and paid homage to him, some took his clothes and buried him, and some built a temple to worship him in all seasons." This shows that after Huangdi's death, the ministers represented by Zuo Che missed him and respected him very much, and held many sacrifices to him. Since Emperor Xuan of Han, September 9 has been regarded as a day for folk ancestor worship. There are two types of sacrifices to Huangdi: public sacrifices and private sacrifices. The public memorial service is held on Qingming Festival, while the folk memorial service is held on Double Ninth Festival.
