What festival is September 9th?
The Double Ninth Festival, New Year's Eve, Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and July 30th are all traditional ancestor worship festivals in China, and ancestor worship is a major theme. China was a farming society and agricultural civilization in ancient times, and attached great importance to the experience of ancestors. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has the concept of courtesy and respect for ancestors, and has the custom of offering sacrifices to ancestors on holidays to show filial piety and not forget their roots.
Eating Chongyang cake: According to historical records, Chongyang cake is also called flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake, which is made randomly. It was the original intention of the ancients to make cakes at dawn on September 9. The child put a cake on his head and said a word in his mouth, wishing the child all the best. Exquisite Chongyang cake should be made into nine layers, like a pagoda, with two lambs on it, which conforms to the meaning of Chongyang (sheep).
Some people even put red paper flags (instead of dogwood) on Chongyang cakes and light candles. This probably means "lighting a lamp" and "eating a cake", not "climbing". At present, there is still no fixed variety of Chongyang cake, and the soft cakes eaten around Chongyang Festival are called Chongyang cakes.
