In Zengcheng, there is the custom of offering sacrifices in spring (Tomb-Sweeping Day) and autumn (Double Ninth Festival). On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, people will bring sacrifices to the cemetery to worship their ancestors and miss their dead relatives. Zengcheng people worship their ancestors on the Double Ninth Festival, and the sacrifices and ceremonies are basically the same as those in Tomb-Sweeping Day. During the Double Ninth Festival, some organs, organizations and schools will also organize cadres, workers, teachers and students to pay homage to revolutionary heroes in the tombs of revolutionary martyrs and offer them flowers.
With the continuous progress of society, people have changed their customs, and the Double Ninth Festival has become a "respect for the elderly". Since the late 1980s, governments and associations at all levels in Zengcheng have held activities to respect the elderly before the Double Ninth Festival, such as offering condolences to the elderly, sending doctors and medicines to the elderly, and giving them free physical examinations, which has formed a good custom.
The Double Ninth Festival is crisp in autumn, and mountain climbing has become an important holiday activity for people. Zengcheng people are also used to "transshipment" when climbing mountains every day, which means that they are promoted step by step. Teenagers climb mountains and fly kites for fun, and children buy windmills for transshipment. Veteran cadres, civil affairs and other government departments also organize the elderly to climb mountains.
Since 1980s, the climbing custom of Chongyang in Zengcheng has become more and more popular. In order to prevent the occurrence of mountain fires, public security, forestry and other relevant government departments stipulate that it is forbidden to carry lighters, matches, firecrackers, fireworks and other kindling when climbing mountains, and it is forbidden to climb closed peaks. Now the scenic spots that can be climbed are Paitan Baishui Village Provincial Scenic Area and Zengjiang Jiaoshiling.
In the local countryside of Zengcheng, there is also the custom of steaming cakes on the Double Ninth Festival, which is a homonym of "cake" and "height", implying that children will grow up quickly and step by step. Local steamed cakes are made by soaking rice overnight, grinding it into rice slurry, adding cake seeds and brown sugar, fermenting overnight and steaming it in a cage. The better the rice slurry is fermented, the bigger the steamed cake will be and the better the quality will be.
