Make the Cornelian Cherry Sachet the Main Character
For a Double Ninth Festival handwritten poster, the cornelian cherry sachet offers a fresh and traditional angle. In ancient customs, people wore small sachets filled with cornelian cherry or fragrant herbs to express wishes for safety, health, and good fortune. Students can draw a small fabric pouch, a few leaves, chrysanthemums, and a mountain path to show the festival atmosphere at once.
What to Write in the Poster
