Every year, the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is the Chongyang Festival, which is a traditional Chinese folk festival, the "nine" number is a yang number in the "I Ching", and the "nine nine" two yang numbers are heavy, so it is called "Chongyang"; because the sun and the moon are nine, it is also called "heavy nine". Nine nine return to the truth, the beginning of the yuan, the ancients believed that the nine nine yang is an auspicious day. In ancient times, folk worship in Chongyang Festival had customs such as ascending to the heights to pray for blessings, worshiping gods and ancestors, and drinking and feasting to pray for life.
In the folk concept, "nine" is the largest number in the number, which has the meaning of long life and long life, and carries people's blessings for the health and longevity of the elderly. The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, which was revised and passed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in 2012, stipulates that the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth lunar month of the lunar calendar is the Day of the Elderly. Passed down to this day, ascending to the heights to appreciate autumn and gratitude and respect for the elderly are the two important themes of today's Chongyang festival activities.
1, ascend to pray for blessings: In ancient times, folk in Chongyang had the custom of ascending, so Chongyang Festival is also called "Ascend festival". Legend has it that this custom began in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are many ascending poems written by the literati of the Tang Dynasty, most of which are written about the custom of Chongyang Festival.
