1. Taking the Double Ninth Festival as the theme, a five-character quatrain:
An old friend invited me to Tian’s house with chicken and millet. Green trees close to the village edge, and Qingshanguo has an oblique version outside.
Open a dining room and enjoy the wine and talk about mulberry and hemp. When the Double Ninth Festival comes, there will be chrysanthemums.
2. Taking the Double Ninth Festival as the theme, a seven-character quatrain:
I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my family even more during the festive season. I know from afar that when my brothers climbed to a high place, there was only one less person planting dogwood trees.
Extended information:
The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese festival that falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year. The number "Nine" is a yang number in the "Book of Changes". The two yang numbers "Nine Nine" overlap each other, so it is called "Double Ninth Festival"; because both the sun and the moon coincide with nine, it is also called "Double Nine".
The Double Ninth Festival is an auspicious day. In ancient times, during the Double Ninth Festival, people had customs such as climbing high to pray for blessings, going on autumn outings to appreciate chrysanthemums, planting dogwood trees, worshiping gods and ancestors, and drinking banquets to pray for longevity. It has been passed down to this day, and connotations such as respecting the elderly have been added. On the Double Ninth Festival, a banquet is held to express gratitude and respect for the elderly. Climbing high to appreciate autumn and being grateful and respectful to the elderly are two important themes of today's Double Ninth Festival activities.
