What festival is it when a person is a stranger in a foreign land?

Describe the Double Ninth Festival for strangers alone in a foreign land.

"A stranger in a foreign land misses his family on holidays. I know from a distance where my brother climbed, and there is one person missing from the dogwood. " A poem "Shanjiesi Shandong Brothers" by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei describes the homesickness of the Double Ninth Festival.

The Double Ninth Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, which falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. "Jiujiu" has been homophonic for a long time. At this time, the ancients worshipped their ancestors and carried out activities to respect the elderly. Drinking chrysanthemum wine and eating Chongyang cake is also a long-standing custom. The Double Ninth Festival has always had the custom of enjoying chrysanthemums, so it has been called Chrysanthemum Festival since ancient times. September of the lunar calendar, commonly known as Chrysanthemum Month, holds the Chrysanthemum Festival. The whole city went to the meeting and enjoyed the chrysanthemums. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms, it has become fashionable for Chongyang parties to drink and enjoy chrysanthemums and recite poems.

The origin of the Double Ninth Festival.

The origin of the Double Ninth Festival can be traced back to ancient times. According to legend, Chongyang is the day of enlightenment in Yuan Di. There are existing written records about the activities of the Double Ninth Festival, which was first seen in Lu Chunqiu Qiu Ji Ji: "In September, order the family to slaughter, prepare for farming, and introduce five essentials. The Tibetan emperor's book is collected in the holy warehouse, and it is only respectful. It's the day, great emperor, and I'll taste the sacrifice and tell the son of heaven. " It can be seen that there was an activity of offering sacrifices to God and ancestors at the autumn harvest in September to thank them for their kindness.
