The annual Double Ninth Festival is here again. Since 1989, people have designated it as the festival for the elderly. This special festival also has special customs. Let's take a look at the eating customs of the Double Ninth Festival.
1, Chongyang Ascending: sunny and cloudy, low and cloudy in Gao Qing. The top of the mountain is the place where the sun is shining and the Double Ninth Festival is coming, with crisp autumn and clear skies in Wan Li. In some places, Chongyang Mountain is used to sweep ancestral graves. In Putian and Xianyou, Fujian, worshipping the ancestors of Chongyang is much more than Qingming, so there is a saying that March is a small Qingming and September is a big Qingming. Since the ninth day of September is also the anniversary of Mazu's ascension to heaven, villagers often go to the Tianhou Temple and the Palace Temple in Mazu Tempel or Meizhou Port to offer sacrifices and pray. The cold in late autumn is often regarded as a ghost, and Cornus officinalis, which has the function of expelling pathogenic wind and storing cold slightly, has become a witchcraft article for exorcising evil spirits and treating diseases.
2. Evodia rutaecarpa: The other is Evodia rutaecarpa, an evergreen shrub or small tree belonging to the kyanite family. Evodia rutaecarpa is named after it is produced in Wudi (now in Jiangsu and Zhejiang) and has the best quality, so it is also called Moongum or Dwarf. Small green and white flowers, like pepper seeds, bloom in early summer and mature in autumn. The fruit turns yellow when tender and purple when ripe, with small cracks, rich aroma and bitter and slightly spicy taste. The immature fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa, especially the green and full fruit, is a cold-dispelling drug. Cornus officinalis leaves can also cure cholera, and roots can kill insects. Therefore, the ancients sacrificed dogwood in Chongyang, which should be Evodia rutaecarpa.
3. Cornus officinalis: There are two main types of Cornus officinalis. One is Cornus officinalis, a deciduous shrub or small tree of Cornaceae, also known as Zizyphus jujuba and Zizyphus jujuba. It is a precious medicinal economic tree species in China and one of the three precious woody medicinal materials in the world (Cornus officinalis, Cinchona cream and dragon's blood), which has strong medicinal value. Cornus officinalis mainly grows in Funiu Mountain, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places in Henan Province, and Xixia County in Henan Province has a yield of more than 1/4 of the whole country, which is called the hometown of Cornus officinalis in China. Cornus officinalis generally blooms in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and will grow and mature in the solar terms from "autumnal equinox" to "cold dew". Drupe is oval and red when it matures. The edible and medicinal history of Cornus officinalis has exceeded 1500 years, and it has high nutritional and medicinal value.
4. Chrysanthemum: Chrysanthemum, also known as yellow flower, belongs to Compositae and has many varieties. On the Double Ninth Festival, chrysanthemums are in full bloom. Autumn chrysanthemum was regarded by the ancients as a grass with long life in season, and chrysanthemum is an important medicinal plant in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, enjoy chrysanthemums and drink chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival. It is said that the ancient chrysanthemum wine was specially brewed for the Double Ninth Festival in the first year. On September 9th, the budding chrysanthemums and a little green branches and leaves were picked, mixed with grain for brewing, and then used together to make wine for drinking on September 9th of the following year. It is said that drinking this wine can prolong life. From a medical point of view, chrysanthemum wine can improve eyesight, cure dizziness, lower blood pressure, lose weight, lose weight, tonify liver qi, regulate stomach and nourish blood.

Tomorrow is 1999 Double Ninth Festival. Every festival has its own characteristics and delicious food. We eat dumplings on the Lantern Festival, make zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival and eat moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. So what traditional foods are there in our Double Ninth Festival?
The Double Ninth Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is a season of crisp autumn and fragrant chrysanthemums.

The foods that have the greatest influence on the Double Ninth Festival are double ninth cake, chrysanthemum wine and fat crab.
Chongyang cake, also known as flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake, is made randomly. 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 cakes are decorated with colorful flags, dotted with pomegranate seeds, chestnut color, ginkgo, pine nuts and other fruits. Chongyang cake in the north is the most famous steamed cake with flour and flowers, also called fat cake. Steamed flour cake is made by fermenting flour and putting it into small bowls. At the bottom of each bowl, various flowers and fruits, such as red dates, nuts, candied fruit, red silk and green silk, are placed. After steaming in the cage, the bread is poured out, just like all kinds of flowers and fruits are on the bread, which looks like steamed bread. The Chongyang cake on the dough is sweet, soft and delicious.
Chrysanthemums are in full bloom on the Double Ninth Festival, and the "auspicious wine" to be drunk in September of the lunar calendar is a blessing. It is called "Chrysanthemum Moon" or "Chrysanthemum Festival", so enjoying chrysanthemums is an essential activity of Chongyang. Chrysanthemum wine was regarded as the "auspicious wine" that Chongyang must drink in ancient times, which was used to eliminate disasters and pray. It is said that the ancient chrysanthemum wine was specially brewed for the Double Ninth Festival in the first year. On September 9th, the budding chrysanthemums and a little green branches and leaves were picked, mixed with grain for brewing, and then used together to make wine for drinking on September 9th of the following year. Chrysanthemum wine can improve eyesight, cure dizziness, lower blood pressure, lose weight, lose weight, nourish liver qi, nourish stomach and nourish blood.
September is also a good season to eat crabs. At this time, the crab paste is yellow and delicious, and the meat is fresh and tender. China has a long history of eating crabs, and crab dishes are constantly developing. There are famous crab dishes in different periods.
The Double Ninth Festival is also a festival for the elderly. Nine is a big number, which means health and longevity. In this beautiful festival, I wish the old people in the world delicious food, happiness, health and longevity.

Flower cakes and chestnut cakes on the Double Ninth Festival.
There are two kinds of snacks in Beijing, one is flower cake and the other is chestnut cake.
Flower cake, also called chestnut cake. The production method is to steam the Jiangmi noodles with water, wrap the steamed Jiangmi noodles with a drawer cloth dipped in water, knead them evenly until smooth, and divide them into four pieces, then pat them into pieces with a thickness of 2 cm, put them on a chopping board, spread a layer of bean stuffing, spread another layer of Jiangmi noodles, and so on for three or four layers, then spread the cooked chestnuts, peach kernels and melon seeds on them, and finally sprinkle shredded Beijing cakes and green plums. Whether it looks or tastes, it is similar to a multi-layered cake. In the early years, Zhimeizhai and Guixinzhai in Sipailou in eastern Beijing made the most famous flower cakes.
Chestnut cake is made of chestnut paste as the main raw material. The specific method is: peel the raw chestnuts, steam them, mash them into mud, divide them into three parts, spread one part as the bottom, then spread a layer of Beijing cake, another layer of chestnut paste, another layer of sand stuffing, and finally spread the third chestnut paste on them. Then, cut into small pieces of Beijing cake slices and shredded green plums are used to make various patterns. This made a chestnut cake with five layers of yellow, red and brown. When eating, pour the sugar juice made of white sugar and osmanthus.
The custom of eating flower cakes on the Double Ninth Festival in China can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. According to Xijing Miscellanies at that time, "On September 9th, Pei Yun ate bait, drank chrysanthemum wine, ate people and lived a long life." Among them, "eating Peng bait" means eating Peng cake. Speaking of eating Chongyang cake on the ninth day of September, there is an old legend among the people: in ancient times, there lived a simple and kind farmer on a high mountain somewhere. One day, when he was plowing the land, he met an old man. The old man told him that his home would be in trouble on the ninth day of September and he had to move to a higher place. The higher he moves, the better. The farmer was dubious and hesitant, and finally made up his mind on the morning of the ninth day of September to move his family to the mountains. Not far away, a fire broke out in the original home, and the fire spread upward with the wind. In order to avoid the fire, he and his family climbed the mountain until they reached the top. Since then, it has become a custom to climb mountains on the ninth day of September to avoid disasters. Later, for convenience, it gradually evolved into the custom of "eating cakes" on this day in order to avoid disaster.
Three Dietary Customs of Double Ninth Festival
In ancient times, the third day of the third lunar month was called the Spring Festival and the first episode. September 9th is a big festival in autumn, called Double Ninth Festival. Tomb-Sweeping Day gradually replaced it in the past, but "March 3rd", an auspicious day, is still an important festival for ethnic minorities such as Zhuang, Li and She. September 9, because the moon and the day are the same, it is autumn, and people have always attached importance to it. The Book of Changes defines "nine" as yang number, and "nine" is the largest yang number. Erjiu phase is called "double ninth" and Eryang phase is called "double ninth", which can cause many associations. The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed and the seasons have changed, which has triggered people's sighs about life and the intersection of various emotions, making the Double Ninth Festival develop into an entertainment-oriented festival. There are three folk customs of holiday food, commonly known as "three treasures".
First, Chongyang should drink "chrysanthemum wine". Jiujiu 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 extraordinary cultural significance in the ancients, and is considered as "longevity-prolonging guest" and "old grass", which can make people grow old and strong.
Second, eat flower cakes. Respect the elderly on the Double Ninth Festival and climb high to avoid disasters. "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.
Third, eat mutton noodles. "Sheep" and "Yang" are homophonic, which should be the code name of Chongyang. If you want to eat white flour, "white" means "100" minus the top "1", which means that 100 minus 1 is 99, in line with the code name of "99". The birthday of a 99-year-old man in Beijing is called "Bai Shou". Wealthy families can hold mutton-based banquets on the same day, such as fried, roasted, rinsed and even whole sheep seats. Autumn is the fattest season for sheep, and mutton is warm and can keep out the cold.
==================================================================================
Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, is called "Double Ninth Festival". There are six Yin and nine Yang in the post-Ye Confucian view of Yin and Yang in Hanzhong. Nine is the number of yang, and the real nine is also called "Chongyang". People have the custom of climbing mountains on that day, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Mountaineering Festival". There are also sayings such as Double Ninth Festival, Cornus officinalis and Chrysanthemum Festival. Because the homonym of "99" on the ninth day of September is "long" and has a long-term meaning, activities to worship ancestors and respect the elderly are often carried out on this day. The Double Ninth Festival and the three festivals of "the first day", "the Qing Dynasty" and "Chongqing" are also the four major festivals for ancestor worship in Chinese traditional festivals.
In the folk concept, the Double Ninth Festival is homophonic with "Nine Nine", which means longevity, health and longevity. Since the 1980s, some places in China have designated the ninth day of September in the summer calendar as the festival for the elderly, advocating the whole society to establish an atmosphere of respecting, loving and helping the elderly.

Appreciate the beautiful chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemum, also called yellow flower, belongs to Compositae and has many varieties. China is the hometown of chrysanthemum, and it has been common to cultivate chrysanthemum since ancient times. Chrysanthemum is the flower of longevity, and is praised by scholars as the unyielding symbol of first frost, so people love and praise it, so large-scale chrysanthemum exhibitions are often held. Chrysanthemum exhibition is naturally held in Chongyang, because the relationship between chrysanthemum and Chongyang is too deep; So Chongyang is also called Chrysanthemum Festival, and Chrysanthemum is also called Jiuhua. Chrysanthemum viewing has become an integral part of the custom of the Double Ninth Festival. In the Song Dynasty, "Dream of Tokyo" Volume 8: "In September, everyone enjoys chrysanthemums, and there are several kinds. Its yellow and white pistils are called "Wanning Chrysanthemum", pink ones are called "Peach Blossom Chrysanthemum", white ones are called "Muxiangju", yellow ones are called "Jinling Chrysanthemum" and pure white ones are called "Xirong Chrysanthemum". Everywhere. "
Climb the peak
One of the most important festival activities in Chongyang is mountain climbing. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called "ascensiontide". There is no uniform rule for climbing mountains. Generally, we climb mountains and towers.
Of course, people climb mountains not only to climb mountains, but also to see the red leaves and wild flowers on the mountains and enjoy them by drinking and eating meat. This combination of climbing mountains and picnics is more attractive. For example, Sun Simiao in the Sui Dynasty said in the "Thousand Yue Jinfang Orders": "On the Double Ninth Festival, you must watch the wine and climb the mountain, and enjoy the autumn ambition with a feast. Wine must take dogwood and chrysanthemum, and you must drink it. " Remember that the customs of the Sui Dynasty are similar to those of later generations. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Liang Lu published in five years: "The sun and the moon fly, hoping for Chongyang. ..... is the day when' Meng Jia went to Longshan to drop his hat and Yuanming went to Dongli to enjoy chrysanthemums', which is the story. " The first film of Han Yuanji's "The First Nine Days of Shuidiao Song" in the Southern Song Dynasty: "Today I am more important than nine, and I can't stand chrysanthemums. Try to find a high place and take a photo of Cui Wei hand in hand. Let your eyes shine on the pale cliffs of Wan Ren. Clouds will protect the frost at dawn, and you will know that I am coming with you. The ancient temple is leaning against bamboo, and the cornices are extremely sharp. " This paper describes the charm of chrysanthemum appreciation in Chongyang.
Because the Double Ninth Festival is an autumn festival, flowers and trees begin to wither after the festival, so there is a saying that the double ninth festival is called "tattoo", which corresponds to the saying that the spring outing in March is called "outing". In the Qing Dynasty, Pan Rongbi wrote in Ji Sheng during the reign of Emperor Jing: "(Chongyang) has a cure and drinks in the suburbs all day, which is called' tattoo'." This is also a poetic name.
Pei dogwood praised chrysanthemum
The Double Ninth Festival has the custom of worshipping Cornus officinalis, so it is also called "Cornus officinalis Festival". Cornus officinalis is an important symbol of the Double Ninth Festival. People also like to wear chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival. Cornus officinalis is nicknamed "evil-ward Weng" and chrysanthemum is also called "longevity-prolonging guest".
Cornus officinalis is a kind of fruit that can be used as medicine. Because the quality of Cornus officinalis produced in Wudi (now in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces) is the best, it is also called Evodia rutaecarpa, also called Moongum or Dwarf. It is a small evergreen tree, which can grow to more than ten feet high, with pinnate compound leaves and green and white flowers in early summer, as strong as pepper seeds. Mature after autumn. The fruit is yellow when tender and purple when ripe, which has the effects of warming the middle warmer, relieving pain and regulating qi. Cornus officinalis leaves can also cure cholera, and roots can kill insects. Compendium of Materia Medica says it is spicy and fragrant, warm in nature, and can cure cold and drive away poison. The ancients believed that wearing dogwood could ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
kite
Putting paper owls is the main custom of celebrating the Double Ninth Festival in Huizhou. In other words, the folk Double Ninth Festival in Huizhou is mainly characterized by paper flying kites. This habit is not only described in the folk songs circulating in Huizhou, but also described in Guangxu's Huizhou Fu Zhi.
Paper harriers are kites now, too. Kite is the title after the Five Dynasties. Five dynasties ago, the north used to call it a "paper kite" and the south used to call it a "kite". The appellation of "paper kite" in Huizhou obviously retains the ancient appellation of five dynasties ago, and has the flavor of "a mixture of north and south".
Eat Chongyang cake
Besides drinking dogwood, chrysanthemum wine and eating chrysanthemum, Chongyang has many ways of eating, the most famous of which is eating cakes. It is especially windy to eat Chongyang cake in the north.
According to Xijing Miscellanies, in the Han Dynasty, September 9th was the custom of eating Peng bait, which was the original Double Ninth Festival cake. The bait is an ancient cake. "Zhou Li" has bait for sacrifice or banquet. There were millet cakes in the Han Dynasty, which may not be far from today's cakes. Peng bait, presumably similar to millet cake and so on. In the Song Dynasty, eating Chongyang cake was popular. Cake is homophonic with Gao, and eating cake is for good luck, so it is favored by people.
Chongyang cake, also known as flower cake, chrysanthemum cake and five-color cake, can be made at will, including "coarse flower cake", "fine flower cake" and "money flower cake".
Stick some coriander leaves as a sign, and put some rough dried fruits such as olives, dates and walnuts in the middle; There are three or two layers of fine flower cakes, each with fine candied dried fruits, such as preserved apples, peaches, apricots and dates. Money flower cake is basically the same as fine flower cake, but smaller, just like "money", which is mostly the food of the upper nobility.
It is said that in the early years, people did not put dates and chestnuts on flour cakes, or sticky cakes made of steamed glutinous rice and yellow wheat, which looked like "gold-plated" and "silver-plated" flower cakes.
Drink chrysanthemum wine
Chrysanthemum, a famous flower in China, is also a famous flower with long life. During the first frost, only this kind of grass flourished. Because of its unique character, chrysanthemum has become a symbol of vitality.
As early as Qu Yuan's pen, there was a saying that "the autumn chrysanthemum leaves the English for dinner", that is, eating chrysanthemum petals. Chrysanthemum wine existed in the Han Dynasty. Wei Shi once gave chrysanthemum to Zhong Wu in Chongyang, wishing him a long life. Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty recorded in Bao Puzi that there was a family in Nanyang Mountain, Henan Province, who lived a long life because of drinking the sweet valley water full of chrysanthemums. In Liang's "Picking Chrysanthemums", there is a saying that "under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, picking pearls tells each other, and the morning dew is wet", which is also a move of picking chrysanthemums to make wine. Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, chrysanthemum wine was still very popular, and it was still recorded in Gao Lian's Eight Chapters of Respect for Life in the Ming Dynasty. This is a popular health drink.
On the Double Ninth Festival, China has the traditional custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine. Chrysanthemum wine, in ancient times, was regarded as the "auspicious wine" that Chongyang must drink to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings.
