1. An essay about describing the customs and customs of Tianzhen. It is a custom to appreciate chrysanthemums during the Double Ninth Festival. Chrysanthemums, also called yellow flowers, belong to the Asteraceae family and have many varieties.
Our country is the hometown of chrysanthemums, and cultivating chrysanthemums has been common since ancient times.
Chrysanthemum is the flower of longevity and is praised by literati as a symbol of perseverance in admiring chrysanthemum frost. Therefore, people love it and praise it, so large-scale chrysanthemum exhibitions are often held.
Chrysanthemum exhibitions are naturally held on the Double Ninth Festival, because chrysanthemums are closely related to the Double Ninth Festival; therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Chrysanthemum Festival, and the chrysanthemum is also called the Nine Flowers.
Appreciating chrysanthemums has become an integral part of the Double Ninth Festival customs.
Volume 8 of "Tokyo Chu Hua Lu" of the Song Dynasty: "On the Double Ninth Festival in September, everyone goes down to enjoy chrysanthemums. There are several kinds. The yellow and white stamens in the lotus room are called 'Wanling Ju', the pink ones are called 'Peach Blossom Chrysanthemum', and the white ones have sandalwood hearts.
It is called "Muxiangju", the yellow and round one is "Jinlingju", and the pure white and big one is called "Xirongwuzhi". In the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded in "Tao'an Mengyi": "Yanzhou Shaoshen".
Family tradition invades the palace.
On the day of admiring chrysanthemums, its table, its Kang, its lamp, its stove, its plate, its box, its basin, its viewing utensil, its cup and plate, its pot, its curtain, its mattress, its wine;
The patterns of wheaten food and clothes are all made of chrysanthemums, which are illuminated by burning candles at night and steamed and baked, making them appear several layers brighter than the daytime colors.
The mats are scattered, and the reed curtains are removed to receive the heavy dew.
" Appreciating chrysanthemums in the Qing Dynasty, such as "Yanjing Chronicles": "Nine flowers are chrysanthemums.
Every Double Ninth Festival, wealthy families use hundreds of pots of nine flowers to frame the front and back of the Guangsha.
It's called 'Jiuhuashanzi'.
Those piled up on all sides are called "Nine Flower Pagodas".
"Qing Jia Lu" recorded the chrysanthemum appreciation activities in Suzhou and said: "When the chrysanthemums are blooming, flower farmers in Hufu have brought hundreds of dried ounces (ancient utensils with large bellies and small mouths) into the city."
Residents buy it as a bottle-washing offering, or a set of five or seven utensils, with a wrought iron wire placed in the middle of the stem, and it can be used as desired by people.
Or in the Guangting Building, hundreds of pots are piled up for players to play with, and the crepe paper is made into a mountain, named Chrysanthemum Mountain.
The tea shops are especially prosperous.
"In addition, there are also records of chrysanthemum appreciation in books such as "Jin Ping Mei" and "Six Chapters of a Floating Life". To this day, during the Double Ninth Festival, major parks still organize large-scale chrysanthemum exhibitions, and tie chrysanthemums into various animals, plants, characters, etc.
The shape is very beautiful. One of the most important festival activities on the Double Ninth Festival is climbing. Therefore, there is no uniform rule for climbing mountains and towers.
In the Western Han Dynasty, there are records of people visiting the capital on September 9th in the Han Dynasty.
On the Double Ninth Festival, the great commander of the Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen, and the general Meng Jia who joined the army climbed to Longshan (a mountain in the northwest of today's Jiangling County, Hubei Province). Meng Jia was watching the mountain scenery, but his hat was blown away by the wind and he didn't know that Huan Wen was calling anyone.
Even though he laughed at him in his essay, he did not show weakness, and his essay defense became a favorite story. In the Southern Dynasties, Wu Jun, a native of Liang Dynasty, recorded a mysterious story in "Xu Qi Xie Ji": Huan Jing, a native of Runan, studied with Fei Changfang.
Fei Changfang asked his family members to make red bags, tie dogwood to their arms, climb high, and drink chrysanthemum wine to avoid disaster. This story vividly reflects the Double Ninth Festival.
At that time, people's mentality was to avoid evil and eliminate disasters. Of course, people not only climbed high, but also watched the red leaves and wild flowers on the mountain, drank wine and ate meat, and enjoyed themselves, which made the combination of climbing and picnic more attractive, as was the case with Sun Simiao in the Sui Dynasty.
"Qian Jin Fang·Yue Ling": "On the Double Ninth Festival, one must go up to the heights to enjoy the wine and enjoy the view from afar, as a tour reward for the seasonal banquet, so as to refresh the autumn aspirations.
The wine must be mixed with dogwood and chrysanthemum, and you will return drunk.
" The customs of the Sui Dynasty are similar to those of later generations. In Volume 5 of "Mengliang Lu" of the Southern Song Dynasty: "The sun and the moon fly by, looking forward to the Double Ninth Festival.
... On that day, "Meng Jiadeng climbed Longshan and dropped his hat, and Yuanming looked towards the east fence to admire the chrysanthemums." This is exactly the story.
"Shui Diao Ge Tou·Nine Days" by Han Yuanji of the Southern Song Dynasty was released: "Today I am on the ninth day, don't let the chrysanthemums bloom."
Try to find a higher place and join hands to take photos of Cui Wei.
Looking around, there are tens of thousands of green cliffs. The clouds are protecting the dawn and the frost is forming an array. You know I am coming with you.
The ancient temple relies on bamboos, and the sills are extremely sharp.
"Describes the charm of chrysanthemum appreciation and climbing to view the scenery during the Double Ninth Festival. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, climbing was very popular in Beijing. "Yanjing Chronicles" says: "The capital said that the Double Ninth Festival is September 9th.
On September 9th every year, people carry pots and couplets and go out to the capital to climb high.
In the south are Tianning Temple, Taoran Pavilion, Longzhaohuai and other places; in the north are Jimen Smoke Tree, Qingcheng Domain and other places; and in the distance are eight places in Xishan Mountain.
Compose poetry, drink wine, roast meat and divide cakes, and inquire about the happiness of the moment.
"Both scholars and ordinary people like to have picnics and barbecues on the mountains after climbing high. Some nobles, relatives and wealthy families bring tents, barbecue sets, carriages and horses, and musical instruments to high platforms and slopes, and set up tents, tables and chairs, and large
Eat roasted or boiled mutton, sing operas, listen to songs and watch dances. For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi would go up to Taohua Mountain in the east of Beihai to have a picnic and barbecue every year, and put up a blue cloth fence to prevent idlers from peeking at Yuyuantan.
Diaoyutai and other places also attract many visitors. There are also climbing mountains in the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City.
