According to Huihong's "Lengzhai Night Talk", Pan Dalin in the Northern Song Dynasty was a poet who was very poor. Xie Yi from Linchuan wrote to ask: "Have you written any new poems recently?" Dalin replied: "Every autumn scenery is beautiful, and I hate that it is obscured by vulgarity. Yesterday, when I was lying in bed in the Qing Dynasty, I heard the sound of wind and rain in the forest, so I wrote on the wall: "The city is full of wind and rain." Near the Double Ninth Festival, I suddenly asked the renter to come, but I just sent this sentence." This is a famous one-word poem. Many people have continued in the past dynasties.
Eating Double Ninth Cake:
According to historical records, Double Ninth Cake is also called flower cake, chrysanthemum cake, and five-color cake. There is no set method for making it and it is relatively random. At dawn on September 9th, people put a piece of cake on their children's foreheads and muttered something, wishing their children all the best. This was the original intention of the ancients to make cakes in September. The special Double Ninth Festival cake should be made into nine layers, like a pagoda, with two lambs on top.
In line with the meaning of Double Ninth Festival (sheep). Some people also put a small red paper flag (instead of dogwood) on the Double Ninth Festival cake and light candles. This probably means "lighting up lamps" and "eating cakes" instead of "climbing high". Today, there is still no fixed variety of Double Ninth Cake. The soft cakes eaten during the Double Ninth Festival in various places are called Double Ninth Cake.
