The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.
The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time. The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere.

The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine. Its history as a medicine goes back many centuries. People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill in late autumn.
