All the nicknames of the Double Ninth Festival!Double Ninth Festival <br /> The ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is the Double Ninth Festival. In ancient China, nine was called a "yang number". On the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, two nines overlap, both are yang numbers, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Double Ninth Festival.Chrysanthemum Festival <br /> The Double Ninth Festival is the golden autumn season of the year, when chrysanthemums are in full bloom. The custom of appreciating chrysanthemums is popular during the Double Ninth Festival, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Chrysanthemum Festival. People also call the ninth month of the lunar calendar the "Chrysanthemum Month". During the Double Ninth Festival, when chrysanthemums bloom proudly in the frost, viewing chrysanthemums has become an important part of the festival. Climbing Festival <br /> Because one of the most important customs of the Double Ninth Festival is climbing, the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Climbing Festival. Why do we climb mountains during Double Ninth Festival? One theory is that the Double Ninth Festival is the day when "yang" rises, the earth's air rises and the weather drops. In order to avoid contact with unhealthy air, the ancients climbed high to avoid evil spirits. Another theory is that it originated from the ancient people's worship of mountains. It is recorded in the Book of Rites: Sacrifice: "Mountains, forests, rivers, valleys, and hills that can produce clouds, wind and rain, and monsters are all called gods." Dogwood Festival <br /> Double Ninth Festival also has the custom of climbing high places and wearing dogwood, so Double Ninth Festival is also called "Dogwood Festival". People believe that the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is an unlucky day with many disasters, and cornel is known as "the evil-repellent", so people like to wear cornel on the Double Ninth Festival to ward off evil and seek good luck. Daughter's Day <br /> The Double Ninth Festival is also called "Daughter's Day". It is recorded in "A Brief Account of the Scenery of the Capital" in the late Ming Dynasty that every Double Ninth Festival, "parents must invite their daughters to eat flower cakes. If they are not invited, the mother will scold, the daughter will complain, and the younger sister will cry and look at her sister and aunt. It is also called 'Daughter's Day'". For a girl who gets married on this day, her parents’ home must present her with a Chongyang flag and a box of seasonal delicacies, which is called a “Chongyang Festival box”. Married women have to return to their parents' home for reunion during the Double Ninth Festival. In fact, "daughter's home" also means for women to have a rest. Elderly Day <br /> In folk customs, the Double Ninth Festival is also called Elderly Day because it has the same pronunciation as “久久” (long-lasting Chinese character for long-lasting life) and implies longevity and good health. In 1989, my country designated September 9th of each year as Senior Citizens' Day, advocating that the whole society establish a culture of respecting, honoring, loving and helping the elderly. |
