What is the traditional program for Thanksgiving? Why these traditions?

The origin of Thanksgiving.

A tribe that saved a lot of Europeans.

With this festival.

Later, they wiped out the tribe.

The new patriarch of this tribe was beheaded in the world's first Thanksgiving Square.

While cutting off the benefactor, he is thanking them for the gods they worship superstitiously.

It's called faith, hehe.

Thanksgiving is close to the Chung Yeung Festival in China.

The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese festival that takes place on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year. The number "nine" is a yang number in the Book of Changes, and the two yang numbers of "ninety-nine" are overlapping, so it is called "double yang"; Because the sun and the moon are all nine, it is also called "heavy nine". The ancients believed that the Double Ninth Festival was an auspicious day.

In ancient times, people had the customs of climbing high to pray for blessings, enjoying chrysanthemums in autumn, wearing dogwoods, worshipping gods and ancestors, and drinking feasts and praying for longevity during the Double Ninth Festival.

If that holiday in China is similar to Thanksgiving in the United States, it is, of course, the Double Ninth Festival!

The origin of Thanksgiving dates back to the beginning of the United States, in the fifteenth century, due to early immigrants from Plymouth, Massachusetts, dissatisfied with the Reformation of the Church of England and oppressed, these immigrants decided to leave the Church of England and move to the other side of the Atlantic on the famous ship "Mayflower", which is officially the United States.

These immigrants celebrated Thanksgiving as a token of their help from the Indians at that time and to thank God. At that time, Thanksgiving had no fixed date, and it was not until 1941 that the time of Thanksgiving was officially set.

Great Chinese traditional Thanksgiving.

As we all know, the traditional American Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year. China actually has a traditional Thanksgiving Day, and it has a history of more than 2,500 years. There is another name for Thanksgiving in China, which is the well-known Qingming Festival.

Qingming Festival is a traditional festival in China, which originated in the Zhou Dynasty and carries the "Thanksgiving" culture of the Chinese nation, which can be called "China's Thanksgiving". In our traditional concept, the Qingming Festival is a day to commemorate the ancestors' tomb sweeping and sacrifice, ancestor worship is not only an external form, it teaches us to remember the ancestors, be grateful to the ancestors, and never forget the kindness of the ancestors. It is the respect for the living, but also the best gratitude to the deceased, and promotes and advocates the tradition of filial piety and gratitude culture of good neighborliness.

The traditional virtue of the Chinese nation - gratitude.

In the relationship between people, there is "kindness" everywhere. Mencius said that "filial piety is the greatest respect for relatives", and in Chinese culture, the kindness of repaying parents is called "filial piety"; Sima Guang said that "dedication to people is loyalty", and the one who reports the grace of knowledge is called "loyalty"; Tao Yuanming said, "If you are a brother, why bother with flesh and blood", repay the kindness of friends, which is called "righteousness"; There is also a saying that "one day husband and wife are one hundred days of grace", and the kindness between husband and wife is called "love". In ancient China, there are many stories about gratitude, such as the legend of "knotting the grass and holding the ring", "retreating from the three houses", and "a meal of a thousand gold", which are all great deeds of historical celebrities to repay their gratitude.

Gratitude is the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and it is an excellent culture that is worthy of learning and promoting by contemporary people. The Chinese culture of gratitude has a long history and is a treasure house of the national spirit, which should be inherited forever.
