On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the traditional Chinese festival - Double Ninth Festival quietly arrives.
This festival is full of profound cultural heritage and colorful customs and activities, which are like a colorful picture scroll, depicting the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture.
The Chung Yeung Festival, also known as the "Ascending Festival", originated from ancient Chinese astronomical observations.
The ancients believed that the day of September 9 was the most vigorous, hence the name Chongyang.
On this day, people will climb high to enjoy the scenery, which means to ward off evil and eliminate disasters, and pray for peace.
This custom originated from the ancient belief in witchcraft, and gradually evolved into a folk activity in which the whole people participated.
In addition to climbing, there are many other customs and activities during the Chung Yeung Festival.
For example, dogwoods.
Dogwood is an evergreen plant with bright red fruits, symbolizing warmth and vitality.
The ancients believed that dogwood had the effect of warding off evil spirits and avoiding disasters, so on the day of the Chung Yeung Festival, people would insert dogwood into their hats or collars to pray for peace throughout the year.
In addition, there is also the custom of eating Chongyang cake during the Chung Yeung Festival.
Chongyang cake is a pastry made from glutinous rice flour and decorated with various patterns and shapes.
Eating Chongyang cake symbolizes rising step by step, implying people's yearning and pursuit of a better life.
On the day of the Chung Yeung Festival, people also hold various celebrations, such as dragon dances, lion dances, and Taiping drum playing, which are full of strong folk customs and show the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
