Regarding the origin of Double Ninth Festival, it can be referred to as the beginning of Han. " Miscellaneous Notes of Xijing " records the palace maid Jia Peilan of the Western Han Dynasty, said: " September 9th, , wearing dogwood, eating bait, and drinking chrysanthemum wine , which makes people live long." According to legend, since then, there has been a custom of seeking longevity on the Double Ninth Festival.

One of the prototypes of Double Ninth Festival is related to the ancient ritual of sacrificial fire. In ancient times, the ancients always had inexplicable fear of fire, so they often feared and worshiped the God of Fire. The ancients often regarded the Spring and Autumn Festival of Double Ninth Festival, Shangsi or Cold Food , September 9 and March 3 as the corresponding Spring and Autumn Festival. We can also find some traces of ancient customs from the customs passed down, such as the custom of worshiping the Kitchen God in the Double Ninth Festival in some parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

Dongyang became the landmark of the transition of summer and winter in the lives of ancient people. If Shangsi and Hanshi were the Spring Festival when people spent the long winter, then Double Ninth Festival was about to be a ritual autumn outing when the autumn cold arrived and the people were about to live in seclusion. Therefore, the folk customs include Shangsi "outing" and Double Ninth Festival "despite Qing". The Double Ninth Festival customs revolve around people’s feelings during this season.
6 major customs of Double Ninth Festival
Appreciation of chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum, also known as yellow flowers, belongs to the Asteraceae family, with a wide variety. Our country is the hometown of chrysanthemums, and chrysanthemums have been widely cultivated since ancient times. Chrysanthemum is a flower of longevity, and it is also a symbol of unyielding frost for literary people. Therefore, people love and praise it, so large-scale chrysanthemum exhibitions are often held. The chrysanthemum exhibition is naturally mostly held in the Double Ninth Festival because the relationship between chrysanthemum and chrysanthemum is too deep; therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Chrysanthemum Festival, and chrysanthemum is also called the Nine Flowers. Appreciating chrysanthemums has become an integral part of the Double Ninth Festival customs. Volume 8 of the "Dream of Tokyo Menghualu" in the Song Dynasty: "On September 1998, the capital admires chrysanthemums, and there are several species. The yellow and white stamens are called 'Wanling chrysanthemums', pink is called 'Peach Blossom chrysanthemums', white and sandalwood heart is called 'Wood fragrance chrysanthemums', yellow and round is called 'Golden chrysanthemums', pure white and large is called 'Xirong chrysanthemums'. There is nowhere to be left."
Climbing the height
One of the most important festival activities of Double Ninth Festival is climbing the height. Therefore, Double Ninth Festival is also called "Climbing the High Festival". There is no uniform rule for wherever you go to climb high, usually climbing mountains and climbing towers.
Of course, people climb high is not just climbing, they also have to admire the red leaves and wild flowers on the mountain, drink and eat meat, and enjoy it, so that the climbing and wild feast are more attractive. For example, Sun Simiao "Qianjin Fang·Monthly Order" in the Sui Dynasty: "On the Double Ninth Festival, you must climb high and look into the distance. You can enjoy the banquet and enjoy the autumn intentions. You must pick dogwood and chrysanthemums to spread the wine, and then you will be drunk and return home." The customs of the Sui Dynasty are similar to those of later generations. Volume 5 of the Southern Song Dynasty "Dream Lianglu": "The sun and the moon fly, and we are waiting for the Double Ninth Festival. ... On that day, 'Meng Jia climbed the Dragon Mountain and fell down the hat, Yuanming went to the east fence to appreciate chrysanthemums', which is the story." The first film of Han Yuanji of the Southern Song Dynasty: "Today I am re-nine, don't bear the chrysanthemums bloom. Try to find a high place, and work together to show the towering mountain. Look at the cliffs of the cliffs, the clouds protect the morning frost, and I know that I and you are here. The ancient temple leans against the bamboo, and the flying threshold is sharp." It describes the charm of appreciating chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival and climbing up to see the scenery.
Since Double Ninth Festival is the autumn festival, the plants and trees begin to wither after the festival, so the Double Ninth Festival wild tour is called "Diqing", which corresponds to the saying of "outing for the spring outing" in March. Pan Rongbi of the Qing Dynasty recorded in "Hi-Gong-Yang Dynasty": "(Dongyang) there is a tragedy to drink in the suburbs of each family and drink all day long, which is called "Qi Qing"." This is also a poetic name.
Panying Dognus ·Chrysanthemum
Dognus 0Dognus 000s Festival has the custom of wearing dogwood, so it is also called "Dognus Festival". Dogwood is an important symbol of Double Ninth Festival. People also like to wear chrysanthemums during Double Ninth Festival. The dogwood is also called "The Evil-Bao Weng", and the chrysanthemum is also known as "The Shouke".

Because dogwood produced in Wu (now Jiangsu and Zhejiang) has the best quality, it is also called Wuzhuyu, also known as Yuejiao or Mugwort. It is an evergreen small tree. The tree can grow almost 1 meter tall. The leaves are plumed and complex leaves. It blooms in early summer, with small green and white flowers, which are like peppers; it matures in autumn. The fruits are yellow when tender and turn purple-red when ripening, which has the effects of warming the middle, relieving pain, regulating qi and other effects. Cornus leaves can also cure cholera and roots can kill insects. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it has a spicy and fragrant smell, warm nature, and can cure cold and drive away poison. The ancients believed that wearing dogwood could ward off evil spirits and disasters.

In addition to the narratives in folk songs circulating in Huizhou, this practice is also recorded in the Guangxu "Huizhou Prefecture Chronicle".
Paper Harrier is also the kite now. Kite is the title after , after . Before the Five Dynasties, it was commonly called "Kite" in the north, and in the south, it was mostly called "Kite".

The "Bai" contains bait for sacrifice or for consumption at banquets. There was also a record of millet cake in the Han Dynasty, which may be about the same as today's cakes. Pot bait must be similar to millet cakes. By the Song Dynasty, the trend of eating Chongyang cake was very popular. Cake and Gao are homophonic. Eating cakes is for the purpose of auspiciousness, so they are favored by people.

As early as Qu Yuan's writing, there was already a sentence "Eat the fallen chrysanthemums in the evening" and that is, taking chrysanthemum petals. Chrysanthemum wine was already present in the Han Dynasty. During the Wei Dynasty, Cao Wu once presented chrysanthemums to Zhong Le on the Double Ninth Festival to wish him a long life. In " Baopuzi ", a family in Nanyang, Henan Province recorded a story about a family who prolonged their life by drinking Gangu water, which was full of chrysanthemums. Emperor Liang Jianwen In "Picking Chrysanthemums", there is a sentence like "Cheering each other to pick chrysanthemum beads, and the dew is wet and wet," and it is also a move to pick chrysanthemums to make wine. Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, chrysanthemum wine was still popular. It was recorded in the " Zunsheng Bajian " by Gao Lian in the Ming Dynasty. It was a popular fitness drink.
Dongyang Festival, my country has the traditional custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine. Chrysanthemum wine was regarded as a "auspicious wine" that must be drunk on Double Ninth Festival and to cure disasters and pray for blessings in ancient times.
