Dogwood and chrysanthemum: Essentials plants for Double Ninth ... (CGTN)

Today marks the traditional Double Ninth Festival, or the Chongyang Festival, celebrated on ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

The flower was favored by many poets through the ages, and because it is one of the few flowers that bloom in late autumn, on Double Ninth Festival, ancient Chinese people usually gathered and admired the blooming flowers. Dogwood is a species of evergreen arbor with a heavy-scent. Double Ninth Festival celebration has a long history of over 2,000 years, dating back to the Warring States period (206 BC - 220 AD), first marked as a ritual of worshiping the ancestors and deities for blessing the harvest.
