Because of the chrysanthemum wine, the Double Ninth Festival became a festival to offer sacrifices to the wine god. For example, the wineries of Shandong offer sacrifices to the God of Wine Jars, Du Kang, on the Double Ninth Festival. Maotai Township, Renhuai County, Guizhou Province starts brewing every year on the Double Ninth Festival, because it is said that yang is exuberant on the day and good wine can be made. When the low wines are achieved, the brewery owner will light joss sticks and candles in front of the Memorial Tablet of Du Kang, and present offerings to pray for smooth brewing.
