First, drink chrysanthemum wine on Double Ninth Festival.
Since the Double Ninth Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month, “jiujiu” is homophonic with “jiu”, which is the same as “wine” in Chinese. Hence the saying of drinking chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival comes from. In ancient times, September in the golden autumn was regarded as the "Chrysanthemum Month". So September is the month when chrysanthemums bloom, so naturally many people use chrysanthemums to make chrysanthemum wine. This provides the custom of tasting chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival, and chrysanthemum wine has become popular because of this.
Second, eat flower cake.
On the Double Ninth Festival, people respect the elderly and climb high places to avoid disasters. Since "gao" (cake) has the same pronunciation as "gao" (high), and it also implies rising step by step, the flower cakes on the Double Ninth Festival are very popular among people. Nowadays, Chongyang Flower Cake has become a popular festival food. In the cool and refreshing autumn, climbing to high places and tasting flower cakes are indispensable activities during the Double Ninth Festival. Activities to respect the elderly are held all over the country. In southern my country, there is a common custom of inserting dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival to ward off evil spirits. This is to seek the implication of seeking good fortune and avoiding harm.
Third, eat mutton noodles.
"Sheep" and "Yang" are homophones, so on the Double Ninth Festival, we should eat mutton noodles, and the noodles must be white. The meaning of white flour is one hundred minus the horizontal line on top, which is ninety-nine, which has the same meaning as the "long" in the Double Ninth Festival. In ancient times, wealthy families would hold banquets on that day with mutton as the main dish, including stir-frying, roasting, shabu-shabu and even a whole lamb banquet. This is also a way to express commemoration of the festival and show good neighborliness.
Fourth, crabs <br /> Another food on Double Ninth Festival is crabs. The poem by Zheng Banqiao: "As the Double Ninth Festival comes, hold the crab claws and cut young ginger." is the evidence of the tradition of eating crabs on the Double Ninth Festival.
Crabs are rich in protein and are known as high-quality protein foods. Crab meat is relatively delicate, and its muscle fibers contain more than 10 kinds of free amino acids, including relatively high levels of glutamic acid, proline, and arginine, which is very beneficial for people who need nutritional supplements.
Crabs are low in fat but high in fat-soluble vitamins A, E and B vitamins. Crab roe is especially rich in vitamin A, which is beneficial to vision and skin health.
