Analysis of the customs of Double Ninth Festival!Double Ninth Festival customs: eating Chongyang cakeAccording to historical records, Chongyang cake is also known as flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake. 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 made on top to match the meaning of Double Ninth Festival (sheep). Some people even put a small red paper flag on the Chongyang cake and light candles. This probably means using "lighting lamps" and "eating cakes" instead of "climbing high", and using small red paper flags instead of dogwood. 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. Double Ninth Festival Customs: Appreciating Chrysanthemums There has always been a custom of appreciating chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival, so it has also been called the Chrysanthemum Festival in ancient times. The ninth month of the lunar calendar is commonly known as the Chrysanthemum Month. Chrysanthemum festivals are held during this festival and crowds of people from all over the city attend to appreciate the chrysanthemums. Since the Three Kingdoms and Wei and Jin Dynasties, it has become a fashion to gather together on the Double Ninth Festival to drink, appreciate chrysanthemums and write poetry. In ancient Chinese customs, chrysanthemums symbolize longevity. Double Ninth Festival Customs: Climbing The first custom of the Double Ninth Festival is climbing high places. In the golden autumn of September, the sky is high and the air is fresh. Climbing high and looking far into the distance in this season can make you feel relaxed and happy, and can also help you stay healthy and avoid diseases. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, "Chang'an Records" recorded that people in the capital of the Han Dynasty went out to enjoy the scenery on September 9th. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was the famous story of "The Hat Falling at Longshan". Double Ninth Festival Customs: Drinking Chrysanthemum Wine 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. Double Ninth Festival Customs: Wearing Dogwood In 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".
