On the Double Ninth Festival, people customarily climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, eat double-ninth cakes, and wear the zhuyu (茱萸) plant, Cornus officinalis. (Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are considered to have cleansing qualities and are used on other occasions to air out houses and cure illnesses.).

重阳节在陕北正式收割的季节，有首歌唱道：“九月里九重阳，收呀么收秋忙。谷子呀，糜子呀，上呀么上了场”。陕北过重阳在晚上，白天是一整天的收割、打场。晚上月上树梢，人们喜爱享用荞面熬羊肉，待吃过晚饭后，人们三三两两地走出家门，爬上附近山头，点上火光，谈天说地，待鸡叫才回家。夜里登山，许多人都摘几把野菊花，回家插在女儿的头上，以之避邪。 在福建莆仙，人们沿袭旧俗，要蒸九层的重阳米果，我国古代就有重阳“食饵”之俗，“饵”即今之糕点、米果之类。宋代《玉烛宝典》云：“九日食饵，饮菊花酒者，其时黍、秫并收，以因粘米嘉味触类尝新，遂成积习”。清初莆仙诗人宋祖谦《闽酒曲》曰：“惊闻佳节近重阳，纤手携篮拾野香。玉杵捣成绿粉湿，明珠颗颗唤郎尝”。近代以来，人们又把米果改制为一种很有特色的九重米果。将优质晚米用清水淘洗，浸泡2小时，捞出沥干，掺水磨成

《旧唐书·王勃传》记载：王勃的《滕王阁序》就是在重阳节这一天写出来的。当时王勃的父亲担任交趾令，王勃前往探视父亲，九月九日路过南昌时，洪州州牧阎伯屿正在重修的滕王阁中宴请宾客及部属，他想夸耀女婿吴子章(孟学士)的才气，便事先拿出纸笔请宾客动笔作序，所有的宾客都知道他的用意，没有人敢作。却不料王勃事先并不知道州牧的用心，於是毫不谦让接过纸笔。州牧原本心中十分生气，立即派人在旁边看王勃书写，谁知道王勃才气不凡，蓄积已久的心情完全发泄出来，文章越写越好，当写到「落霞与孤鹜齐飞，秋水共长天一色」的词句时，忍不住拍案叫绝!王勃从此一举名震诗坛。
