Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a demon who would come out on the ninth day of September every year to do evil and kill the lives of innocent people。At this time, there was a young man named Huan Jing, who decided to go away and come back to defeat this demon by learning art. Huan Jing finally found a Taoist who was willing to take him in, so Huan Jing stayed with the Taoist to learn art.

One day, the Taoist chief told Huan Jing that Huan Jing's family would be in danger on September 9 this year, so he asked him to hurry home and bring a cloth bag with dogwood, and take the family to a high place to drink chrysanthemum wine to ward off the disaster。When Huan Jing returned home, let everyone take the dogwood and wait for the demon to appear on the heights.

Sure enough, the demon finally appeared, but when the demon smelled the smell of dogwood and chrysanthemum wine, he didn't dare to step forward and hurt people, so Huan Jing took the opportunity to kill the demon and protect everyone's safety. Since then, the Chung Yeung Festival has spread the custom of climbing, inserting dogwood, and drinking chrysanthemum wine, among which drinking chrysanthemum wine is drunk as longevity wine by people.

In the Book of Changes, the number of nine yangs overlaps.

In the Book of Changes, "six" is set as a yin number, "nine" is set as a yang number, and it is also a "pole number", referring to the height of the sky as "ninefold". On the ninth day of the first month of September, the day and the moon are all nine, which is a double nine, so it is called "Chongyang", and at the same time it is two yang numbers combined, so it is called "Chongyang", so this day is the Chongyang Day.
