1, the ancients often said that climbing on the Double Ninth Festival is not equal to climbing the mountain.

The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the Double Ninth Festival, as the ancients often said. In ancient China, nine days was considered as yang number. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the sun and the moon meet and the two yang are heavy, hence the name "Double Ninth Festival", also known as "Double Ninth Festival". The custom of climbing on the Double Ninth Festival, which was often said by the ancients, arose in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The ancients often said that climbing on the Double Ninth Festival is mainly about climbing and looking far, in order to pray for exorcism and avoid disaster. Therefore, climbing on the Double Ninth Festival is not necessary, and the most common way is to climb and pray.

3. Climbing "tattoo" is also a solar term from nature. The "tattoo" of climbing on the Double Ninth Festival corresponds to the "outing" of the ancients in March in Yangchun.
