Why is it taboo to say Happy Holidays on Double Ninth Festival?

The Double Ninth Festival is the day when the whole family goes out to climb high places to ward off evil spirits, so the blessings during the Double Ninth Festival are "good health" or "family safety."
In the "Book of Changes", which is regarded as a classic by Taoism, odd numbers are considered yang numbers, and even numbers are considered yin numbers. Among the yang numbers, "nine" is regarded as "extreme yang". September 9th is the day when two "extreme yang" meet, so it is called "Double Ninth Festival". Yang also means steel. Double Ninth Festival is the "meeting of two steels" which counteract each other, so it is regarded as an "unlucky day". Therefore, in a festival that originally meant to ward off evil, saying "Happy Holidays" seems a bit strange. It would be more appropriate to say "Good health".
The Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival, the Autumn Sunning Festival, and the "Stepping Autumn", is a traditional festival of the Han nationality. Celebrating the Double Ninth Festival generally includes traveling to enjoy the autumn scenery, climbing high places to have a distant view, admiring chrysanthemums, planting dogwood branches everywhere, eating Double Ninth Cake, and drinking chrysanthemum wine. The ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar every year is collectively known as one of the four major traditional Chinese festivals for ancestor worship, along with New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival. The Double Ninth Festival was formed as early as the Warring States Period. It was officially designated as a folk festival in the Tang Dynasty and has been passed down from dynasty to dynasty since then. On the Double Ninth Festival and the third day of March, families go out for spring outings together. On the Double Ninth Festival, all relatives have to climb high places together to avoid disasters.

What should we pay attention to during the Double Ninth Festival?

Avoid sending chrysanthemums <br /> Because chrysanthemums are sacrificial flowers, it is inappropriate to send chrysanthemums.
Avoid sexual intercourse <br /> Men and women must have sexual intercourse at the right time to achieve harmony between yin and yang. Otherwise, the imbalance of yin and yang will be detrimental to the reproduction of offspring and will also cause many disasters. "Double Ninth" is the peak of Yang numbers, after which it turns to Yin numbers, so all rash behaviors are forbidden and one must be careful and cautious. Sexual intercourse is also among the taboos.
Avoid cooking <br /> In the past, it was said that "If you don't make rice cakes on Double Ninth Festival, a tiger will bite your mother." The Double Ninth Festival is the Elderly Day. On this day, we should let our old mothers have a rest and not overwork themselves by cooking. At that time, I was unable to explain this principle clearly, so I used this proverb to scare people.
