Where does the Double Ninth Festival originate from?

One of the prototypes of the Double Ninth Festival is the ancient ritual of worshiping fire. In other words, the Double Ninth Festival originated from the ancient ritual of worshiping fire. In September of the last month of autumn, the "Big Fire" star, which was the symbol of the ancient seasons, retreated, causing the ancients who had always used Mars as a symbol of seasonal production and life to lose their time coordinates. At the same time, it caused the ancients who worshipped the Big Fire as a god to have an inexplicable fear. This also meant that the "God of Fire" believed in by people entered a dormant state. Therefore, during the "Inner Fire" season, a corresponding farewell ceremony should be held to send him away, just like when he appeared. Although the details of ancient sacrificial ceremonies are vague and difficult to understand, we can still find some traces of ancient customs in the Double Ninth Festival ceremonies of later generations. For example, in some areas of the south of the Yangtze River, there is a custom of worshiping the Kitchen God on the Double Ninth Festival. The Kitchen God is the god of fire in the home. This shows that there are traces of the ancient practice of worshiping "big fire" in September. The ancients often regarded Double Ninth Festival, Shangsi Festival or Cold Food Festival, September 9th and March 3rd as corresponding major festivals in Spring and Autumn. It is stated in "Miscellaneous Records of Western Capital" by Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty: "On Shangsi Festival in March and Chongyang Festival in September, maids play games and climb high places to purify themselves." The correspondence between Shangsi Festival, Cold Food Festival and Chongyang Festival is based on the appearance of "big fire".
