“I am a stranger alone in a foreign land, and I miss my relatives every festive season. I know that my brothers climbed high places, and there is one less dogwood planted everywhere.”
More than a thousand years ago, when Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote this well-known poem, although it is a young work, it has been passed down for millennia and became the first verse that people think of when they mention the Double Ninth Festival. In this verse, one can also see the custom that prevailed during the Double Ninth Festival as early as a thousand years ago-climbing high and planting cornel. Today, these customs are still being staged in people’s lives. On October 14, the annual Double Ninth Festival arrived as scheduled.
Jiujiu Returning to True, the beginning of the unity. The ancients believed that the Chongyang Festival was an auspicious day, and the Chongyang Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena. In ancient times, people worshipped their ancestors, climbed high to pray for blessings, and enjoyed autumn tours on the Double Ninth Festival… But with the development of the times, the program has added respect for the elderly and other connotations in its evolution.

Climbing high and looking far away Chengdu people’s traditional double Ninth Festival custom
“The number’Nine’ in the Book of Changes is the number of yang, and the number of’Nine-Nine’ is the same as the two yang numbers, so it is called’Chongyang’. Because the sun and the month both coincide with nine, it is also called’Chong Nine’, which was believed by the ancients Chongyang Festival is an auspicious day.” Folklore expert Liu Xiaochang said. As an old Chengdu native, he has also witnessed the changes in this land during the Chongyang Festival for decades.
On the Double Ninth Festival, Chengdu people have always had the custom of climbing high and looking far away, but it is worth mentioning that there are almost no high mountains near the urban area of Chengdu. Where do people go to climb? At this time, residents who don’t want to travel far, take a walk on the walls of old Chengdu, which is also a good choice.
“On this day, Chengdu’s autumn is high and airy. In the old days, most of them were short and small brick houses. Looking out from the city wall, you can see a golden scene outside the brick houses. If you are immigrants, literati, and literati, they choose to look. Ascending the Jianglou and overlooking, you will also write a few poems, which is very elegant.” People who want to climb will also choose to go to Phoenix Mountain, Tianhui Mountain and other nearby mountains to experience the fun of climbing.
And the closer place to climb is the city wall of old Chengdu. On the Double Ninth Festival, the vendors selling jelly, pot kombu, and plain noodles…Almost all the small vendors in Chengdu are concentrated on the city wall. The old Chengdu residents have long been looking forward to this day to have a bite to eat. “Little baby, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, mainly looking forward to these foods.”
