What to eat on the Double Ninth Festival in early September? What food does the Double Ninth Festival eat?

1, chrysanthemum wine. On the Double Ninth Festival, there is a custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine all over China. On the ninth day of September, "nine" and "wine" are homophonic. Chrysanthemum wine was regarded as "auspicious wine" to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings in ancient times. According to Xijing Miscellanies, when Emperor Gaozu was in the palace, he "wore dogwood, ate lotus bait and drank chrysanthemum wine on September 9, which made people live longer". So chrysanthemum wine also has a very good meaning. It is said that drinking this wine can prolong life. You can have a glass of "auspicious wine" with the old people at home. Don't drink too much!

2. Mutton noodles. Of course, the Double Ninth Festival is also indispensable for mutton noodles, which is the homonym of "Yang" and "Yang". Autumn is the fattest season for lambs, and mutton is warm and can play a good role in keeping out the cold. If family conditions permit, you can also take your family out to eat a "whole lamb mat" with mutton as the main ingredient, accompanied by delicious chrysanthemum wine. How can you not sing a poem at this moment? "If you know where your brother is climbing, there will be one person missing from the dogwood."

3. Chongyang Flower Cake. "Flower cake" is homophonic with "climbing", which means "rising step by step", so "Chongyang Flower cake" has also become a popular dessert food. The practice of Chongyang Flower Cake is varied and random. People in every place make it in different ways. At present, the traditional technology is gradually declining, and most machines have replaced the method of making flower cakes. In some places, colorful colored paper will be cut into flags, fixed with toothpicks and inserted into the finished flower cakes, which means a little bit that "one person is not as good as one".
