General Overview

It is not appropriate to hold a full moon banquet on the Double Ninth Festival. The specific reasons are as follows:
1. According to folk customs, before holding a full-month banquet for a child, we just need to check the lunar calendar for that day in advance to see if that day is suitable for holding a full-month banquet. According to the lunar calendar of the Double Ninth Festival in 2017, we can know that that day is not a good day to hold a full-moon banquet.
2. There is usually no item called "full moon banquet" in the lunar calendar. We mainly focus on "sacrifice" and "meeting friends".

The full moon banquet is a day for relatives and friends to gather together to bless children and parents.

In order to wish the child a smooth passage, people often held a full-month ceremony to express their congratulations. Generally, the full moon banquet is held about 30 days in advance. In most cases, the full moon banquet can only be held in advance or on the actual day and cannot be postponed.
3. Regarding the date of the full moon banquet, the customs in different regions are also different. Some are on the 9th day, 12th day, the full moon or the 100th day, and some choose an even day, which is also acceptable.
