The custom of watching chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival, also known as yellow flowers, belongs to Compositae and has many varieties.

Chrysanthemum is a long-lived flower, which is praised by scholars as an unyielding symbol of chrysanthemum appreciation cream, so people love and praise it, so large-scale chrysanthemum exhibitions are often held. Chrysanthemum exhibition is naturally held in Chongyang, because the relationship between chrysanthemum and Chongyang is too deep; So Chongyang is also called Chrysanthemum Festival, and Chrysanthemum is also called Jiuhua. Chrysanthemum viewing has become an indispensable part of the Double Ninth Festival. In the Song Dynasty, Chuluhua in Tokyo was published in August and September, and everyone enjoyed chrysanthemums.

On the Double Ninth Festival, a rich house with nine flowers and a hundred pots is a spacious building decorated with a front porch and a light back porch (the front porch is high and the back porch is low, and the front porch is low and the back porch is high). Those who pile up on all sides are called' Jiuhua Pagoda'. " In Jia Qinglu, I recorded the chrysanthemum appreciation activities in Suzhou, saying that it was the first time that chrysanthemums were released, and the tiger flower farmers dried hundreds of pots (ancient utensils with big mouths and small mouths) and carried them into the city.

Today, during the Double Ninth Festival, large-scale chrysanthemum exhibitions are still organized in major parks, and chrysanthemums are tied into various animals, plants and figures, which are very beautiful. Climbing the Double Ninth Festival is one of the most important festival activities. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called ascensiontide. There is no uniform rule for climbing mountains. Generally, we climb mountains and towers. Climbing mountains as early as the Western Han Dynasty, it was recorded in the Annals of Chang 'an that people visited the Han capital on September 9th. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a famous story about a hat falling off in Longshan. According to the Book of Jin Meng Family Biography, on the Double Ninth Festival in September, Huan Wen, a fu of the Jin Dynasty, and Meng Jia, a general who joined the army, boarded Longshan (now a mountain in the northwest of jiangling county, Hubei Province). Meng Jia saw the mountain scenery and didn't know that his hat was blown away by the wind. Huan Wen let people write a composition to laugh at him, and he didn't show weakness. His essay defense was once a much-told story. Wu Jun, a native of the Southern Dynasties, recorded a magical story in "The Peace of Continued Qi". Runan people travel and swim with Fei Changfang. Fei Changfang asked his family to make crimson sacs, tie dogwood's arms, climb mountains and drink chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival to avoid disaster. Huan Jing complied and escaped the disaster. This story vividly reflects people's psychology of avoiding evil spirits and disasters during the Double Ninth Festival. Of course, people climb mountains not only to climb mountains, but also to see the red leaves and wild flowers on the mountains and drink and eat meat. ....................................................
