Beijing, the capital of China, is an ancient capital with a history of more than 3,000 years. Thousands of years of history and years of accumulation have made every grass, tree, brick and stone in Beijing and the folk customs celebrated in the four seasons seem to have a quaint atmosphere. So today's lunar calendar will introduce you to what to eat on the Double Ninth Festival in old Beijing.

Drinking "chrysanthemum wine" is homophonic with "Jiujiu" and also homophonic with "wine", so it is deduced that Jiujiu should drink chrysanthemum wine. September is autumn in Ao Shuang. Literati call September "Chrysanthemum Moon", people call chrysanthemum "Nine Flowers", and Beijing regards chrysanthemum as one of the city flowers.

Because of its unique cold resistance, chrysanthemum has become a symbol of vitality. It has an extraordinary cultural significance in the ancients, who thought it was a "guest to prolong life" and an "immortal grass", which could make people grow old and strengthen and deepen the feelings between relatives and friends. In the past, chrysanthemum wine was brewed at home to show sincerity.

Eating mutton noodles "sheep" and "yang" are homonyms, which should be the code name of Chongyang. Eat white flour to meet the "99" size. When Beijing celebrates the centenary of the 99-year-old man, it can hold banquets such as exploding, roasting, rinsing and even whole sheep seats, which are mainly mutton. Autumn is the fattest season for sheep, and mutton is warm and can keep out the cold.

Eating old-fashioned Chongyang cake with flower cake pays attention to making nine layers, like a pagoda with two lambs on it to show "Chongyang". Respecting the elderly with flower cakes and taking relatives and friends to climb mountains to avoid disasters are two major cultural themes of the Double Ninth Festival. "Gao" and "Gao" are homophonic, and they also mean "step by step" and "long life", so "Chongyang Flower Cake" has become a popular holiday food.

In the crisp autumn, people climb high to bid farewell to youth, taste flower cakes, admire chrysanthemums and recite Tao Yuanming's poems, and hold various activities to respect the elderly, which is full of human affection. In southern China, there is a custom of inserting dogwood to exorcise evil spirits on the Double Ninth Festival, while in Beijing, respect for the elderly is the main content, so there are many chrysanthemums and few people insert dogwood.
