Autumn is the most beautiful season, and it is also the time when nature is most colorful and lively. During such a wonderful season, your mood must also be "blooming with joy." The National Day holiday coincides with the Double Ninth Festival. It is wonderful to climb heights, enjoy flowers, and drink flower tea with family. Here are several flower teas suitable for autumn consumption—save them now!

Double Ninth Festival, Enjoy Tea and Climb Heights.

Every year on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, it is the Double Ninth Festival. Because in the ancient "Book of Changes," "six" is regarded as the yin number, and "nine" as the yang number, the ninth day of the ninth month has both sun and moon yang, with two nines overlapping, hence it is called Double Ninth, also called Chongyang. The Double Ninth Festival is also known as "Autumn Outing," a traditional Han Chinese festival. Celebrations usually include going out to enjoy the scenery, climbing high to look into the distance, appreciating chrysanthemums, inserting Zhuyu (cornus), eating Double Ninth cake, and drinking chrysanthemum wine.

 

 

Today, the Double Ninth Festival has been given new meaning. In 1989, China designated September 9th of the lunar calendar as the Senior Citizens' Day. Tradition and modernity are cleverly combined, making it a festival for respecting, honoring, loving, and helping the elderly.
