Hosting and attending banquets
At Huazhao Festival, officials and civilians hosted or attended banquets, where flower wine made from various flower petals was served. There was a song praising such wine, "the fragrance of flower wine is stronger than that of flowers; all families raise up their wine glass to propose toasts. The aroma of this wine is like that of the dew on flowers; its color resembles that of spring."
