The custom of the Double Ninth Festival

First, climbing the mountain

When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that climbing the mountain was a very important part of ancient rituals. Every autumn, when the trees and wild fruits on the mountain are ripe, people will go to the mountain to harvest. This process is also called "autumn harvest".

Second, eat Chongyang Flower Cake

Besides climbing mountains, there is also the custom of eating Chongyang Flower Cake on the Double Ninth Festival. I remember when I was a child, every Double Ninth Festival, my family would buy some double ninth flower cakes for us to eat.

Third, wear cornus

In addition, there is the custom of wearing cornus on the Double Ninth Festival. Cornus is a spice with a strong flavor.
