Double Ninth Festival Activities

Needless to say, chrysanthemum appreciation is definitely the highlight of the Double Ninth Festival. Chrysanthemum is a flower of longevity and is praised by literati as a symbol of unyieldingness in the face of frost. Therefore, people love and praise it, and large-scale chrysanthemum exhibitions are often held. Chrysanthemum exhibitions are naturally held on the Double Ninth Festival, because chrysanthemums are so closely related to the Double Ninth Festival; therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Chrysanthemum Festival, and chrysanthemums are also called the Nine Flowers. Do you still remember the poem “I know my brothers are climbing the mountain, but there is one less person wearing dogwood branches” during the mountain climbing activity ? A must-memorize in primary school Chinese. It is about the climbing activity on the Double Ninth Festival, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Climbing Festival. Of course, people go up mountains not only to climb, but also to admire the red leaves and wild flowers on the mountains, drink wine and eat meat, and enjoy themselves. Combining climbing with wild feasts makes it more attractive. Inserting Dogwood Activity Dogwood is an important symbol of the Double Ninth Festival. People also like to wear chrysanthemums during the Double Ninth Festival. Cornus officinalis is elegantly known as the "evil-repellent man" and chrysanthemum is also known as the "longevity guest". Because of the custom of wearing dogwood on Double Ninth Festival, it is also called the "Dogwood Festival". The name for flying kites is a term used after the Five Dynasties. Before that, kites were called "paper kites" in the north and "kites" in the south. The name "paper kite" in Huizhou obviously retains the ancient name before the Five Dynasties, and has a "mixed" flavor of the north and the south. Activities of Eating Chongyang Cake 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. There are "coarse flower cake", "fine flower cake" and "money flower cake". In the north, the custom of eating Chongyang cake is particularly popular.
