Eat Chongyang Flower Cake on Double Ninth Festival.
Chongyang Flower Cake, also known as Fagao, Chrysanthemum Cake, Chestnut Cake, Date Cake or Denggao, the name is also derived from the sound of "climbing high", which means "climbing high". Regarding the method of making flower cakes, Chen Yuanliang's "Sui Shi Guang Ji" in the Song Dynasty quoted "Sui Shi Za Ji" and said: "It is generally made of dates, or chestnuts, and some are made with meat." At dawn on September 9th, a piece of cake is placed on the forehead of children, and they chant words to wish their children success in everything. This is the original intention of the ancients to make cakes in September. The elaborate Double Ninth Festival cake is made into nine layers, like a pagoda, with two lambs made on top to match the meaning of Double Ninth Festival (sheep).

The Origin of Chongyang Cake on Double Ninth Festival

The reason why Chongyang Cake can become a festive food is that just like "jiujiu" and "jiujiu" are homophones, "gao" is homophonic with "gao". Therefore, when people climb mountains on the Double Ninth Festival, they have to eat some cakes and the like. Not only do they want to "climb higher step by step", but they also have to eat cakes to pray for "height". The meaning is to seek good luck. In ancient times, people attached great importance to Chongyang Flower Cake. It was not only a festival food, but also a festival gift and an offering to gods. Eating flower cakes on the Double Ninth Festival is as indispensable as eating moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. It has become our festival food custom since ancient times.
