A thousand peaks autumn leaves Dan
The origin of the Double Ninth Festival can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" in the "Ji Qiu Ji" : "(September) ordered the family to slaughter, farming ready to harvest, five things. The Tibetan emperor's books are collected in the storehouse of God, and only respect is ordered." "It is the day, great Feast Emperor, taste sacrifice, inform the son of heaven." It can be seen that at that time, there was a harvest in autumn and September when the emperor of Heaven and ancestors were offered sacrifices to thank the emperor of Heaven and ancestors for their kindness. In the Han Dynasty, Jia Peilan, an official in the Western Han Dynasty, wrote in the Miscella of the West Capital: "On September 9, wearing cornus officinale, eating Peng baits and drinking chrysanthemum wine can make people live long." Legend has it that since this time, there has been the Double Ninth Festival for longevity. This was influenced by the pursuit of immortality by ancient sorcerers (later Taoists) who collected medicines to take. At the same time, there are large banquet activities, which are developed from the pre-Qin harvest banquet. "Jingchu year old" cloud: "September 9, four people and book wild banquet." Sui Du Gongzhan notes cloud: "September 9 banquet, unknown from what generation, but since the Song has not changed." Longevity and feasting form the basis of the Double Ninth Festival.
