On the Double Ninth Festival, we enjoy appreciating chrysanthemums and drinking wine. Want to know more about the Double Ninth Festival? The ninth month of the lunar calendar is also known as the "Chrysanthemum Month," the month when chrysanthemums bloom. September is a long month in the lunar calendar, with a total of thirty days. Come and pay attention to the September 2021 special topic of Shuimoxiansheng.com to learn more details!What are the taboos on Double Ninth Festival?1. Avoid cookingThere is a saying among the people that "If you don't steam rice cakes on Double Ninth Festival, a tiger will bite your mother." In fact, it is because Double Ninth Festival is the Elderly Day, so the elderly in the family should be allowed to rest during the festival and not be tired from cooking. This kind of saying came into being to scare people. 2. Avoid going back to your mother’s home There is a folk saying: "If you go home to celebrate Double Ninth Festival, your mother-in-law will die." For example, in Teng County in southwestern Shandong Province, a girl who has been married for less than three years is not allowed to return to her parents' home on the Double Ninth Festival. Only after three years can I return to my parents’ home every Double Ninth Festival. 3. Avoid sending chrysanthemums Although the Double Ninth Festival is a festival for appreciating chrysanthemums, chrysanthemums have been sacrificial flowers in my country since ancient times, so they cannot be given to others casually. Moreover, the Double Ninth Festival is a traditional festival for worshipping ancestors, so sending chrysanthemums on this day is equivalent to cursing others, which will make them unhappy. 4. Avoid sexual intercourse Intercourse between men and women must be at the right time to achieve the harmony of yin and yang. Otherwise, the imbalance of yin and yang will be not conducive to the reproduction of offspring and will also give rise to many disasters. "Double Ninth" is the peak of Yang numbers, after which it turns to Yin numbers, so all rash behaviors are forbidden and one must be careful and cautious. Sexual intercourse is also among the taboos. 5. Avoid wishing happiness Nine is considered a yang number, and the meeting of two yangs is called the Double Ninth Festival. Nine is the largest number among all numbers, so this day is also a very unlucky day. According to the traditional Chinese way of thinking that turns misfortune into fortune, a series of festival activities are set up to suppress the evil spirit. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival was originally a day to ward off evil spirits. It is not appropriate to say "Happy Festival" to others. Instead, you can wish them "Happy Double Ninth Festival". What is the significance of Double Ninth Festival?The greatest significance of the Double Ninth Festival is to “respect the elderly”."Filial piety" has always been the most important part of China's traditional virtues, and it is also a moral value engraved in the blood of every Chinese child. The so-called "late autumn" often refers to the elderly, and the Double Ninth Festival, a festival with a strong late autumn atmosphere, has become our "Respect for the Elderly Day." The customary activities of the Double Ninth Festival, whether it is climbing mountains to admire chrysanthemums or sweeping tombs and worshiping ancestors, are inseparable from the concept of "filial piety". This also adds a bit of modern people's hopes and thoughts to the Double Ninth Festival in its rich traditional cultural atmosphere, making it a festival that combines the wisdom and wishes of ancient and modern people.
