Legend of avoiding evil spirits

On the Double Ninth Festival, according to the folk custom in China, people should not only climb mountains and overlook them, but also drink chrysanthemum wine and wear dogwood or dogwood sachets.

The relationship between the Double Ninth Festival and Cornus officinalis was first seen in a story in the mythical novel "The Harmony of Continued Qi": Runan people visited the scenery and learned Taoism with Fei Changfang. One day, Fei Changfang told Huan Jing that there would be a disaster in your home on September 9. The solution is to let your family make a colorful bag, put Cornus officinalis in it, wrap it around your arm, climb mountains and drink chrysanthemum wine.

On the ninth day of September, the Huanjing family followed. When I got home at night, I found that all my chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep were dead, and the whole family was safe and sound because of going out. So Kaunus's Exorcism was handed down.
