Why was HIKING a LIFE or DEATH decision on this Chinese festival

Traditionally on the Double Ninth Festival (Chong Yang Festival), people would climb up a mountain, drink chrysanthemum wine, and wear zhuyu plant.

This is because doing these things saved the lives of a whole family about 2,000 years ago.
