The Double Ninth Festival in September, also known as Double Ninth Festival or Old People's Day. There are many activities in the Double Ninth Festival, such as climbing mountains, enjoying chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemum wine, flying kites, eating double ninth cake, inserting dogwood and so on. The Double Ninth Festival, which originated in the Warring States Period, was originally a festive day. The ancients divided everything in heaven and earth into Yin and Yang, with Yin representing darkness and Yang representing light and vitality. Odd numbers are positive and even numbers are negative. Nine is an odd number, so it belongs to Yang. On the ninth day of September, the sun and the moon meet, and the two yang are heavy, so it is called "Chongyang".

The origin of the Double Ninth Festival was recorded as early as in Lu Chunqiu: "In September, the family was ordered to slaughter, and the fields were plowed for harvest, and five essentials were introduced. The Tibetan emperor's book is collected in the holy warehouse, and I only respect it. " "It is the day, the emperor, the taste of sacrifice, and the ring of the son of heaven." It can be seen that at that time, in the name of celebrating the harvest, there were already activities of offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth and ancestors to thank them for their gifts. The Han Dynasty's Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing recorded that the custom of wearing dogwood and drinking chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival was to live longer. At the same time, there are various large-scale banquets, which evolved from the sacrificial activities to celebrate the harvest in the pre-Qin period. This is the embryonic form of the early Double Ninth Festival.

It can be seen that at that time, when the crops were harvested in autumn and September, there were activities of offering sacrifices to the emperor and ancestors to thank them for their kindness.

Jia, the imperial secretary in Xijing Miscellanies of the Han Dynasty, said: "On September 9, Pei Yun ate the bait and drank chrysanthemum wine, and the clouds made people live longer." According to legend, since then, there has been the custom of seeking longevity on the Double Ninth Festival. This is influenced by the ancient wizards (later Taoist priests) who pursued immortality and collected drugs to take.

Nine is the largest number in the number, so this day is also a day of great disaster. According to China's traditional thinking mode of "turning bad luck into good luck", it is reasonable to think that festivals appear to turn bad luck into good luck on odd days, and set up a series of festival activities to restrain and overcome bad luck. Therefore, in this day to ward off evil spirits, it is not appropriate to say happy holidays, but to say good health or family safety.
