During the Eastern Han Dynasty, plagues and demons were rampant in the Ruhe area of Runan, causing widespread groans and tears in both urban and rural areas. Fei Changfang told Heng Jing, "On September 9th, the plague demon will harm people again. Go quickly and rescue your father and relatives." He also told him, "On that day, climb high and put the dogwood in your red pocket, tie it on your arm; drink chrysanthemum wine, you can defeat the plague demon and eliminate the disasters of the people." After Heng Jing returned to his hometown, he told his fellow villagers about this method. On the ninth day of September, the Ruhe River surged fiercely, shrouded in clouds and mist, and covered the mountains and towns with plagues and demons. Due to the pungent fragrance of chrysanthemums and the pungent aroma of cornel, the plague was difficult to approach. In the evening, people return home, and their "chickens, dogs, cows, and sheep" die suddenly from the disaster. Father, elderly, and relatives climb high mountains to avoid the disaster. From then on, the custom of climbing high to avoid disasters in Chongyang has been passed down.
