Three Dos and Three Don'ts on Double Ninth Festival

1. It is advisable to climb high
Whether in ancient times or in recent years, when it comes to the Double Ninth Festival, the most important activity is definitely climbing.
In addition to enjoying the scenery, climbing high places also had a very important meaning in ancient times:
According to legend, in ancient times, around the Double Ninth Festival, plague would rage in houses and cause people to become infected with diseases.
In order to escape the disaster, people chose to leave their homes at that time and climb to high places in groups to avoid the invasion of the epidemic. Gradually, this custom was passed down.
2. It is advisable to insert dogwood
When we were young, we must have read this poem by Wang Wei, "I know my brothers have climbed to the top of the mountain, There is one less person wearing the dogwood branches." In addition to climbing mountains, inserting dogwood is also the most important activity on the Double Ninth Festival.
3. Enjoy Chongyang Cake
On the Double Ninth Festival, don’t forget to try the Chongyang Cake. This colorful cake is mainly popular in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, and may not be common in other places.
1. Avoid letting elders cook
The Double Ninth Festival, also known as "Senior Citizens' Day", is a festival to remind younger generations to respect their elders. On this day, don't let the elders work too hard, especially cooking. It is best for the younger generation to do it so that the elders can have a good rest for a day.
2. Avoid saying happy things to each other
Every time we celebrate a festival, we are used to saying happy holidays to our relatives and friends around us, but on the Double Ninth Festival, the editor does not recommend that you say the word "happy".
3. Avoid sending chrysanthemums
Nowadays, more and more people like to celebrate festivals for their loved ones by sending flowers. Now is the season for appreciating chrysanthemums and tasting chrysanthemum tea. Many young people easily choose chrysanthemums as gifts to suit the occasion.
However, among all flowers, chrysanthemums are used for memorial services, not for giving to living people, especially yellow and white chrysanthemums. You must never give them as gifts, as it is easy to fail to show filial piety and instead make the elderly person angry!
If you want to send fresh flowers, flowers such as carnations and lilies are suitable.
