Introduction to Double Ninth Festival taboos!

Double Ninth Festival taboo 1: Don’t say “Happy Festival”
Nine is considered a yang number, and the meeting of two yangs is called the Double Ninth Festival. Nine is the largest number among all numbers, so this day is also a very unlucky day. According to the traditional Chinese way of thinking that turns misfortune into fortune, a series of festival activities are set up to suppress the evil spirit. So on this day that is originally meant to ward off evil spirits, it seems inappropriate to say happy holidays. It would be more appropriate to say I wish you good health or peace to your family.
Double Ninth Festival Taboo 2: No Cooking
In the past, there was a legend that "If you don't make rice cakes on Double Ninth Festival, a tiger will bite your mother." The Double Ninth Festival is the Elderly Day. This day is a festival, so we should let our elderly mothers have a rest and not let them get tired from cooking. At that time, I was unable to explain this principle clearly, so I used this proverb to scare people.
Double Ninth Festival taboo three: no sexual intercourse
Intercourse between men and women must be at the right time to achieve the harmony of yin and yang. Otherwise, the imbalance of yin and yang will be not conducive to the reproduction of offspring and will also give rise to many disasters. "Double Ninth" is the peak of Yang numbers, after which it turns to Yin numbers, so all rash behaviors are forbidden and one must be careful and cautious. Sexual intercourse is also among the taboos.
