Why do you eat persimmons on the Double Ninth Festival?

He hasn't eaten for a day. He feels hungry and thirsty. When he arrived in Zuochai Village, he saw that every wall had fallen down and all the trees had withered, all of which were burned by soldiers and fire.

The Taoist scriptures are here, and the persimmon tree still exists. He told the courtiers about his previous private visit to eat persimmons here, and made a decree: "After naming persimmons, everyone in the world can eat persimmons as a souvenir on the Double Ninth Festival.
