The significance of modern Double Ninth Festival: respecting the old and filial piety and building a harmonious society?
Festival custom is a "living fossil" of ancient people's social life and a "living cultural relic" of a national traditional culture. However, it will not remain unchanged, and it will always permeate new content and value with the development of the times. In recent years, with the early arrival of the elderly society in China, respecting the elderly, filial piety and respect for the elderly have become a prominent social problem.
It is in this social background that since the 1990s, it has become a common practice to designate the Double Ninth Festival as the Festival for the Elderly, and it has been recognized by the whole society.
First of all, the Double Ninth Festival is a symbol of sunset red. Double Ninth Festival, crisp autumn, fragrant grains. This is a harvest season and a mature season. The Double Ninth Festival is designated as the Festival for the Elderly, symbolizing the maturity of the New Year Festival and sunset red. Yuan Mei (1716-1797), a great poet in the Qing dynasty, wrote in his self-excited health-preserving poem:
Let the West Lake sing magnificent songs, poetic and picturesque. Mochow's old mountain looks pale in autumn, and blushes even more from mountain to autumn.
"Autumn is old and the mountains are pale" means that people are old, and "autumn is crimson" means that they are old. Encourage the elderly to be open-minded, cheerful, have a sense of security and have fun, so as to improve their quality of life. Life is a book, and old age is the end of this book. And the ending part is often the most wonderful and unforgettable.
Secondly, "Jiujiu" and "Jiujiu" are homophonic, meaning longevity, health and longevity. The Double Ninth Festival is the Double Ninth Festival, and the sun and the moon are combined into one. People think that this day is special and deserves special treatment. It is most appropriate to use it to symbolize the old and virtuous old people.
Chrysanthemum is the darling of autumn and Double Ninth Festival. According to legend, chrysanthemum is also a symbol of longevity, and it was given a unique nickname "Yanshouke" in the Song Dynasty. On the Double Ninth Festival, flowers are dying day by day, but chrysanthemums are independent of cold and autumn, elegant and charming.
It is appropriate to use autumn chrysanthemum to symbolize the elderly from image to temperament. The elderly are mature, calm and tolerant, and they have made contributions to the people and are highly respected. Just like the Double Ninth Festival in 1999, autumn chrysanthemums are stained with green-so it is logical to designate the Double Ninth Festival as the festival for the elderly.
Third, in order to carry forward the traditional virtue of "respecting the elderly and filial piety" of the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation is a country of etiquette and has a fine tradition of respecting the elderly. Meng Jiao (75 1-8 14), a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem praising maternal love, which touched the heartstrings of all the children in the world in return for the kindness of his loving mother.
The mother used the needle and thread in her hand to make clothes for her long-distance son. Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged. Who can say that a filial child like the weak can repay his mother's love like the sunshine in spring?
Before leaving, the kind mother sewed clothes for her son with a needle and thread in her hand. The mother sewed the needle tightly and firmly, fearing that the child would not come back without her. Nothing grows, like a wanderer. Sanchunhui is the sunshine in spring, which is a metaphor for a mother's care for her children.
Children are like grass on the roadside. How can we repay the glory given by spring? The language of the poem is simple and sincere, especially the last two sentences, which arouse the voices of children all over the world and express their respect for the elderly very vividly and profoundly.
It is the parents who nurse their children carefully, the parents who take care of their children all day when they are sick, the hardships and difficulties that parents bear in order to let their children know how to write and be polite, and the spirit that parents have devoted to their children's engagement and marriage-the countless kindness of parents is really like a song that says, "I can count all my hair, but the number of relatives is unclear."
Therefore, children should know how to feed their parents like crows, kneel like lambs, and never forget how filial they are! However, what about objective reality? Some unfilial descendants not only fail to perform their maintenance obligations, but abuse and abuse the elderly, plunder their property, interfere in their marriage and infringe on their legitimate rights and interests. Old people often commit suicide.
In view of the age discrimination against the elderly in society, Li Baoku pointed out that age discrimination against the elderly has become a worldwide social problem that affects intergenerational relations. In family relations, due to the decline of some people's values, morality and legal concepts, the contradictions caused by intergenerational relations are more prominent.
In this sense, designating the Double Ninth Festival as the Festival for the Elderly is not a simple "respecting the elderly and filial piety", but a social problem that opposes age discrimination, integrates intergenerational relations, reduces family conflicts and promotes social harmony and stability.
It is the guidance and promotion of respecting the elderly, the promotion of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and the charity of building a harmonious socialist society to designate the Double Ninth Festival as the festival for the elderly, which constitutes the significance of the modern Double Ninth Festival.
