After Qiu Chuji's death, the Taoist in Baiyun Temple preached various "miracles" of Qiu Chuji in order to attract believers. The most popular saying is that Qiu Chuji will appear in Baiyun Temple or Taixu Palace as a cremation, an official, a tourist, a woman and a beggar around the 19th day of the first lunar month, especially on the 18th night of the first lunar month. Whoever is lucky enough to meet him can get rid of illness and prolong life.
Therefore, after Qiu Chuji's death, people go to Baiyunguan and Taixu Palace on the 19th day of the first month every year to offer wine and meat and worship the ancestral temple of Qiuqiu, which is called "Banquet Qiuqiu" and "Banquet Qiuqiu". Over the years, "Banquet Mountain" was misinformed as "Yan Jiu", which happened to be related to the word "Jiu" on the 19th day of the first month when Qiu Chuji was born, so the 19th day of the first month of each year was designated as "Yan Jiu Festival". In Beijing and Tianjin, there are also "big alcohol and tobacco" and "small alcohol and tobacco" (the ninth day of the first month).
