　　關于九九重陽節的傳說和習俗（英文）

　　譯文：農歷九月初九，二九相重，稱為"重九"。又因為在我國古代，六為陰數，九是陽數，因此，重九就叫"重陽"。

　　重陽節的起源，最早可以推到漢初。據說，在皇宮中，每年九月九日，都要佩茱萸，食蓬餌、飲菊花酒，以求長壽；漢高祖劉邦的愛妃戚夫人被呂后慘害后，宮女賈某也被逐出宮，將這一習俗傳入民間的。

　　古代，民間在該日有登高的風俗，所以重陽節又叫"登高節"。相傳此風俗始于東漢。唐人登高詩很多，大多數是寫重陽節的習俗；杜甫的七律《登高》，就是寫重陽登高的名篇。登高所到之處，沒有劃一的規定，一般是登高山、登高塔。還有吃"重陽糕"的習俗。講究的重陽糕要作成九層，像座寶塔，上面還作成兩只小羊，以符合重陽（羊）之義。有的還在重陽糕上插一小紅紙旗，并點蠟燭燈。這大概是用"點燈"、"吃糕"代替"登高"，用小紅紙旗代替茱萸。

　　重陽節還要賞菊飲菊花酒，起源于陶淵明。陶淵明以隱居出名，以詩出名，以酒出名，也以愛菊出名；后人效之，遂有重陽賞菊之俗。舊時士大夫，還多將賞菊與宴飲結合，以求和陶淵明更接近。北宋京師開封，重陽賞菊很盛行，當時的菊花就有很多種。清代以后，賞菊之俗尤為昌盛，且不限于九月九日，但仍然是重陽節前后最為繁盛。
