On September 9th, the sun and the moon are both yang, and two nines are repeated, so it is called Double Ninth Festival. In Japanese, it is called "Chongyang (ちょうよう)", so this day is a day worth celebrating. This festival was introduced to Japan during the Heian period, and a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet was held in the palace on September 9th every year.Customs of Japan's Double Ninth FestivalSeptember 9th is also a very important day for people who love flower arrangement. During some specific festivals in Japan, people will choose a flower that represents that season for flower arrangement.

On the Double Ninth Festival , the Kamigamo Shrine in Kyoto holds the "Double Ninth Festival" to pray for good health and no disasters.

In ancient China, chrysanthemum was also called "Weng grass" and "Qiandaijian grass", and was believed to have the effect of expelling evil spirits and blessing longevity. Influenced by China, Japan has the custom of placing cotton cloth on chrysanthemums on the night of the 8th, and then using it to wipe the body after it is wet by dew on the 9th, in order to pray for longevity. At the same time, because it is the harvest season, people also call this day the "Chestnut Festival" and eat chestnut rice to celebrate. |
