The Mid Autumn Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month which is where harvest festivals are held. The Double 9th Festival is celebrated on the 9th day of the 9th lunar month which is where people climb a mountain while wearing the zhuhyu plant and drink chrysanthemum wine because the day is a dangerous date.
