Sexual intercourse is also among the taboos.

What is the effect of drinking chrysanthemum wine on Double Ninth Festival?

Chrysanthemum contains nourishing ingredients. In the Baopuzi written by Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty, there is a record that people in the mountains of Nanyang lived longer by drinking Gangu water which was full of chrysanthemums.
Drinking chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese custom. In ancient times, 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. Chrysanthemum wine is a medicinal wine with a slightly bitter taste. Drinking it can improve eyesight and refresh the mind, and it also has the auspicious meaning of warding off disasters and praying for blessings.
Chrysanthemum wine has been seen since the Han Dynasty. Later, there were still stories about giving chrysanthemums as birthday gifts and making wine with chrysanthemums. For example, Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, once gave chrysanthemums to Zhong Yao on the Double Ninth Festival (to wish him a long life). Emperor Jianwen of Liang wrote in "Picking Chrysanthemums" the line "We called each other to pick chrysanthemum beads with baskets, and the morning dew wet our silk clothes", which is an example of picking chrysanthemums to make wine. Chrysanthemum wine was still popular until the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was still recorded in Gao Lian's "Eight Notes on Living a Healthy Life" in the Ming Dynasty, and it was a popular health drink.

The custom of saying goodbye to Qing on Double Ninth Festival

The ancients often regarded Double Ninth Festival and Shangsi (or Qingming Festival) as corresponding major festivals in Spring and Autumn.
If Shangsi is a festival for people to go out and stroll after a long winter, then Chongyang is an autumn outing with ritual significance when the autumn chill arrives and people are about to retire. Therefore, there is a folk custom of "going out for a walk" on Qingming Festival and "saying goodbye to the cold" on Chongyang Festival.
