Mr. Cao
Hello!
Today, I would like to recommend a book for you. The name of this book is "primary school students' reading aid Library - folk culture". This book is about the origin and customs of Chinese festivals. The reason why I like this book is that when it introduces the calendar of festivals, it always tells a story about the situation at that time. And each article is extremely vivid, from which we can not only learn the origin of many customs, but also understand some unknown history and legend.
My favorite article is called "Chongyang climbing, drinking with dogwood.". This article is about the origin of the Double Ninth Festival. It is said that there was a pestilence devil in Zhuangnan of the Han Dynasty, which was extremely ferocious, and would come out to harm people every September 9. There is a man named Huanjing in Zhuangnan county. Because Huanjing's parents died in the hands of the pestilence devil, Huanjing wanted to kill the pestilence devil to avenge his parents. On this day, Huan Jing packed up and went to practice magic arts with the famous immortal Fei Changfang, hoping to kill the evil devil. After a long journey, Huan Jing finally found the immortal Fei Changfang. However, things have not been smooth. After Huan Jing explained his intention, Fei Changfang refused Huan Jing's request. So Huan Jing knelt outside Fei Changfang for two days and two nights. At last, Fei Changfang was moved by Huan Jing's sincerity and accepted him as an apprentice and taught him various skills. On the ninth day of September the next year, Fei Changfang reckoned that the pestilence would enter the southern city again and harm people. He ordered Huan Jing to give him some dogwood leaves and chrysanthemum wine and send him back to zhuangnang city. When Huan Jing arrived in Zhuangnan, he took the people to the mountain, and let everyone drink chrysanthemum wine, and filled the mountain with Cornus. After that, Huan Jing stood in front of the mountain with a knife. After a while, the pestilence came as expected. It wanted to go up the mountain and eat people. Huan Jing stopped him, so they fought together. The smell of Cornus and dogwood is not stable for a few rounds. He raised a knife from the mountain. The plague devil was removed, and the people in Nancheng finally lived a comfortable life. Since then, in order to commemorate September 9, people have designated September 9 as the Double Ninth Festival. On this day, people will climb high with their families, fill the mountains with Cornus and drink chrysanthemum wine to pray for themselves and their families. This is the origin of the Double Ninth Festival on September 9.
I like this legend best, because I think Huanjing's persistence and bravery are worth learning.
Finally, I hope you can enjoy this story. When you are free, you may as well read this book with me.
wish
good health!
