The fifth day of October is a traditional festival in China-the Double Ninth Festival, and it is also an important food festival. On this day, people will bake a cake called "Chongyang Cake" to taste. This kind of cake is mainly made of glutinous rice and red bean paste, and flavored with osmanthus. It is said that the fragrance of this cake can drive away the plague, ward off evil spirits and preserve health. Therefore, in this festival, tasting Chongyang cake is also a kind of cultural inheritance and enjoyment of healthy food.

Besides Chongyang cake, there are different eating customs in different regions. For example, Jiangnan will make a snack called "Chrysanthemum Cake". It looks like chrysanthemum, with smooth appearance, soft and glutinous taste and endless aftertaste. In Guangxi, Fujian and other places, people will cook zongzi, lotus seed cakes and other foods. These traditional cuisines not only have regional characteristics, but also make people feel the unique cultural atmosphere of the region while tasting.

In short, the fifth day of October is a good food festival. People can feel the charm of China's traditional culture, whether they are tasting Chongyang cake or other regional delicacies. These traditional foods not only bring us delicious enjoyment, but also make us love and inherit the traditional culture of China.
