The Double Ninth Festival is also called the Double Ninth Festival. “Jiujiu” means “long” and represents longevity. Autumn is a season of harvest. All things begin to wither, symbolizing the aging of people. Chrysanthemums, which symbolize longevity, also bloom at this time. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival means wishing the elderly a long life. After the founding of New China, it also conformed to the traditional meaning and set the Double Ninth Festival as the Elderly Day.

People living in cities should take advantage of this opportunity to go out hiking.

Appreciating chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine: Drinking and having fun were the favorite activities of ancient literati and poets. On the Double Ninth Festival, chrysanthemums are in full bloom, which is particularly charming. How pleasant it feels to drink chrysanthemum wine while facing the pots of chrysanthemums that have just bloomed in your own courtyard or balcony. In addition, chrysanthemum wine was regarded as an "auspicious wine" that must be drunk on the Double Ninth Festival to ward off disasters and pray for blessings in ancient times. Eat Chongyang Cake: Eating Chongyang cake is a custom, just like our Spring Festival, people in the south eat rice dumplings, while people in the north make dumplings. Wearing dogwood: Wang Wei mentioned dogwood in his famous poem "Remembering My Brothers in Shandong on the Ninth Day of the Ninth Month", saying "There is one less person wearing dogwood everywhere". From this we can see that wearing dogwood is also an activity to be done on the Double Ninth Festival. People wear cornus on the Double Ninth Festival because it has a strong fragrance and can repel insects, dampness and wind evils. People use it to express their hope of warding off evil and seeking good luck. |
