There is no fixed method to make it and it is rather casual. At dawn on September 9th, people would place a piece of cake on their children’s foreheads and chant something, wishing their children success in everything. This was the original intention of the ancients making cakes in September. The elaborate Double Ninth Festival cake is made into nine layers, like a pagoda, with two lambs on top to match the meaning of Double Ninth Festival (sheep). Some people also put a small red paper flag (instead of dogwood) on the Chongyang cake and light candles. This probably means using "lighting lamps" or "eating cakes" instead of "climbing high". There is still no fixed variety of Chongyang cake today. The soft cakes eaten on Chongyang Festival in various places are all called Chongyang cake. Drinking Chrysanthemum Wine on Double Ninth Festival Due to its unique qualities, chrysanthemum has become a symbol of vitality. 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. [39-42] 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 Wearing Dogwood on Double Ninth FestivalIn ancient times, the custom of inserting dogwood on the ninth day of the ninth month was popular, so it was also called the Dogwood Festival.Cornus officinalis can be used as medicine to make wine to nourish the body and cure diseases. Inserting dogwood and wearing chrysanthemums in the hair were already very common in the Tang Dynasty. Cornus officinalis has a strong fragrance and has the effects of expelling insects, removing dampness, and expelling wind evil. It can also eliminate food stagnation and treat cold and heat. People believe that the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is an unlucky day with many disasters, so people like to wear dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival to ward off evil and seek good luck. Therefore, Cornus officinalis is also called "the evil-repellent".
