What are the dietary customs of the Double Ninth Festival? What are the traditions of the Double Ninth Festival?

1, eat double ninth festival cake. According to historical records, the muffins made by the ancients a few days before and after the Double Ninth Festival are called Double Ninth Cake, also known as flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake. Stick some coriander leaves as a sign, and put rough dried fruits such as olives, dates and walnuts in the middle.

2. Drink chrysanthemum wine. Chrysanthemum wine, in ancient times, was regarded as the "auspicious wine" that Chongyang must drink to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings.

Step 3 eat a rake. Raking is another food custom in the Double Ninth Festival in southwest China. Rakes are divided into soft and sweet, hard and salty.

4. Eat crabs. In some parts of our country, there is a custom of eating crabs on the Double Ninth Festival. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, crabs in the north became fat. As the saying goes, "September is the navel and October is the tip, and I have been drinking chrysanthemum for a day." The crabs caught in the Double Ninth Festival are top-grade, very vigorous, fat and beautiful, and famous all over the world.
