The custom of Double Ninth Festival

First, climb the mountain.

When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that mountain climbing was a very important part of ancient rituals. Every autumn, when the trees and wild fruits on the mountain are ripe, people will go to the mountain to harvest. This process is also called "autumn harvest".

Second, eat Chongyang Flower Cake

In addition to climbing mountains, the Double Ninth Festival also has the custom of eating double ninth flower cakes. I remember when I was a child, every time I went to the Double Ninth Festival, my family would buy some double ninth flower cakes for us to eat.

Third, Dai's dogwood

In addition, there is the custom of wearing dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival. Cornus officinalis is a kind of spice with strong flavor.
