Since the Jin Dynasty, the Double Ninth Festival has been particularly regarded by the people of the time. This is because the ancients set "nine" as the largest number of yang, and on the ninth day of September, the heavy nine is naturally the pole of the yang number, and they are sure that on this day, the qi of heaven and earth will converge, and the evil qi will also reach its peak. In order to ward off evil spirits and avoid the misfortune of the Nine Evils, people need to stand on a high place. Therefore, climbing has become the most prominent ritual of the Chung Yeung Festival.
In order to climb the height, the Southern Song Dynasty poet Xie Lingyun specially made a kind of clogs, because its front and rear teeth can be loaded and unloaded, the front teeth can be removed when going up the mountain, and the back teeth can be removed when going down the mountain. Xie Lingyun is a person who has been on the road physically and mentally, and this clog is naturally not just made for the Chongyang Ascending, but for ordinary people, this new product is a hit in the Chongyang Festival.
Because the participants are all willing to participate, whether they are nobles or ordinary people, many stories of climbing the heights and feasts have also been recorded in the official history.
Once, Huan Wen held a Chongyang banquet in Longshan. Meng Jia, who joined the army for the Huanwen shogunate at the time, was accidentally blown off by the mountain wind during the party. On this occasion, the degree of rudeness of losing the official hat can be imagined, but Meng Jia was completely engaged in socializing and never found out.
Fortunately, Huan Wen ordered someone to pick up the official hat for him while he was going to the toilet, and asked Sun Sheng to write an account of it. Meng Jia is a well-known pen, why don't you hurry up and answer the essay to add points to yourself?That's it!Above the table, the audience was full of joy again. The allusion of "Meng Jia's hat" is used to describe the quick thinking and elegance of talented people.
When it comes to the etiquette of ascending, in addition to the effect of driving away evil spirits, it also has the purpose of sustenance.
I wanted to climb high, but no one brought wine. Pity the old garden chrysanthemum, should be open on the battlefield. You might as well borrow the poem "Nine Days of Marching to Think of Chang'an's Hometown" by Tang Cen Shen to go back to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, and the profound significance of the Chongyang Festival ascending ceremony. At that time, the Anshi Rebellion was not settled, Cen Shen was in the war, climbed high and looked at Chang'an, not only worried about the Tang Dynasty, but also worried about the suffering of the people, and couldn't help but worry and sad.
Wine and chrysanthemums are also mentioned in this poem, which is the story of Tao Yuanming. It is said that once Tao Yuanming had no wine to drink during the Double Ninth Festival, and sat alone in the chrysanthemum bushes by the side of the house, until Wang Hong, the assassin of Jiangzhou, came in white clothes to send wine, and then he was drunk and laughed. However, Cen Shen was not in the mood at this time, which is an anti-allusion, but we can see from it that drinking, appreciating chrysanthemums and climbing are all customs of the Double Ninth Festival.
Not only Tao Yuanming, but also most of the literati and writers of the Wei and Jin dynasties liked chrysanthemums with high frost quality and medicinal value, so appreciating chrysanthemums, giving chrysanthemums, and drinking chrysanthemum wine were all ways to express each other's expressions. For example, Cao Pi once gave chrysanthemum to the calligrapher Zhong Xuan, wishing him good health, and the other party also responded with poetry, saying that "chrysanthemum has five beauties" and is "fairy food".
Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty said: "Brother Yaozhi ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood. The habit of Pei Zhu mentioned in the poem is also a major custom of the Double Ninth Festival during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. To wear dogwood, in addition to the new way of wearing it, there is also the practice of following the Han Dynasty, where the dogwood is chopped and filled with sachets.
What does it do?Dogwood can remove evil spirits, and it also has a certain effect of keeping out the cold.
Later, whether it was the Southern or Northern Dynasties, the Double Ninth Festival would be organized by **, and the emperor would also come to "lead the starring" with great appreciation. Relatively speaking, the northerners are brave and heroic, and the scale of this drama is larger, and the excitement is not comparable to that of the Southern Dynasties. Wang Bao, a great poet who entered the north from the south, participated in drama shooting in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and wrote "Nine Days from Driving Poems".
Shooting horses with double belts, abundant mink and two Huang", thinking about the autumn scenery of the year, thinking about the healthy Northern Dynasty Erlang, I suddenly felt that the temperature of the Double Ninth Festival was hot.
