Double Ninth Festival is a festival for the elderly. People go out for an outing, climb high and look far, and enjoy the beautiful scenery in autumn. At this time, the autumn harvest will be exhausted and fruitful. Therefore, girls had better go back to their parents' home, one is to comfort their elderly parents, and the other is to enjoy the beautiful scenery in autumn. If you don't have time, you should concentrate on your work. Just a phone call.
Therefore, there are generally no taboos. You can go back to your parents' home, help the elderly with their work, and do your filial piety.
But the custom in some places is that Chongyang can't go back to her mother's house. On the Double Ninth Festival, daughters who have been married for less than three years are forbidden to return to their parents' homes, otherwise it will bring disaster to their mother-in-law. There is a saying: going home for Chongyang will kill my mother-in-law.
Therefore, whether the Double Ninth Festival can be spent at home depends on local customs. If local customs require it, follow the principle of do as the Romans do and choose another day to go back to your home. The custom of flying kites on Double Ninth Festival
Flying kites is one of the main customs of the Double Ninth Festival in southern China. The folk Double Ninth Festival is characterized by flying kites.
Guangxu's "Huizhou Fuzhi" is also recorded. In the folk tradition, besides climbing mountains, flying kites is also a major feature of the Double Ninth Festival.
As for why people fly kites (kites) on the Double Ninth Festival, apart from the climatic reasons that the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is light and bright, paper kites can easily ride the wind, and there are some sayings that are between wizards and witches, which are quite interesting without thinking.
According to legend, flying kites on the Double Ninth Festival is to release bad luck. The higher a kite flies, the more bad luck it takes away. What's more, to make the kite disappear, you need to disconnect it specially.
Another explanation is that flying kites in Chongyang is auspicious and blessed. The better the kite flies, the stronger the blessing. Kite-flying people not only can't break the silk thread, but also try their best to protect it, because if the silk thread breaks, luck and blessings will also drift away.
