What is Double Ninth Festival?

The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional festival in my country and one of the four major traditional festivals for worshipping ancestors. It falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar every year.
The ninth day of the ninth month represents the return to the true nature and the beginning of a new year. The ancients believed that the Double Ninth Festival was an auspicious day. The number "nine" is a yang number in the "Book of Changes". The two yang numbers "nine nines" are repeated, so it is called "Double Ninth Festival"; because both the day and the month are nine, it is also called "Double Ninth Festival".
In ancient times, people had the customs of climbing high places to pray for blessings, going on autumn outings to appreciate chrysanthemums, wearing dogwood, worshiping gods and ancestors, and having banquets to pray for longevity on the Double Ninth Festival. It has been passed down to this day, and the connotation of respecting the elderly has been added. On the Double Ninth Festival, people enjoy banquets and express gratitude and respect for the elderly. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also known as the Elderly Day and Respect for the Elderly Day.
The Double Ninth Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena in ancient times, became popular in the Western Han Dynasty, and reached its peak after the Tang Dynasty. According to existing historical data and research, in ancient times there were activities of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors during the autumn harvest. It is recorded in "Lüshi Chunqiu·Jiqiuji" that the ancients offered sacrifices to the emperor of heaven and ancestors when the crops harvested in September to thank the emperor of heaven and ancestors for their kindness. This is the original form of the Double Ninth Festival as an autumn harvest sacrificial activity. The Tang Dynasty was an important period in which traditional festival customs were blended and finalized, and the main parts of them have been passed down to this day. The custom of ancestor worship on the Double Ninth Festival has been passed down for thousands of years and is an ancient custom with profound significance.

What are the folk songs about the Double Ninth Festival?

1. September 9th is Double Ninth Festival; fly kites with long strings.
2. In August, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the brother sends cakes, and in September, during the Double Ninth Festival, the sister sends shoes.
3. Chrysanthemums are yellow, and yellow seeds are strong; chrysanthemums are fragrant, and yellow seeds are healthy; on September 9th, drink chrysanthemum wine, and people get drunk with chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival.
On September 9th, everyone goes to climb mountains, but you see these young guys walking in a hurry. Fly a kite high in the sky, and the sound of a bow will awaken the coward. If you always want to be in the spotlight, you need to work hard. Although you have a reputation, it's a pity that you are not yet fully grown. I'm afraid that you will fall from the sky and leave eternal regret. I guess this piece of rope can hold the sky together, which can keep a man out of trouble and prevent him from going anywhere. well! It is difficult to take care of your own life, I can only hope that God will have mercy on you and give you some merit.
5. On the Double Ninth Festival, try to climb mountains again. If it keeps going on like this year after year, what is the benefit? Although it is a picturesque autumn mountain, it is also nice to go sightseeing, but why do I have to yearn for the Double Ninth Festival, to know the romantic atmosphere. If you can avoid disaster by doing this, why not do it earlier? Why do you go there alone, leaving behind a wife and children? It's a book that you can read all the time. Besides, it's just a small relic, why bother about it? Since you didn't know it yesterday, I don't blame you for doing it. well! Be frugal and don't bother looking for trouble. It is better to sit quietly and think, there is still a way to scare someone.
