Double Ninth Festival, also known as Double Ninth Festival, is the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. Since ancient times, people in China have had the custom of climbing mountains and overlooking, enjoying chrysanthemums and writing poems on this day. Behind this custom is a legend related to Tao Yuanming.
