《淮南子·时则训》
代表的数是九，所属的味道是辛味，所属的气味是腥味。这个月祭祀门神，祭祀时先放上属金的肝脏。这时凉风已经兴起，候雁飞来，燕子南飞，群鸟因寒气来临而长出羽毛并飞翔于空中。天子穿白衣，骑白骆马，佩白色玉饰，树白色旗帜。吃黍类和狗肉，饮八风吹来的露水，烧饭用柘木，用阳燧取火。西宫侍女穿白衣，衣裳绣有白色的花纹，敲白钟。
天子衣白衣，乘白骆，服白玉，建白旗，食麻与犬，服八风水，爨柘燧火。西宫御女白色，衣白采，撞白钟。
The number is nine. The taste is spicy, and the smell is fishy. In this month, people sacrifice to the door god. When sacrificing, the internal organs are made of gold. At this time, the cool wind is rising, the wild geese are flying, the swallows are flying south, and all birds are growing feathers and flying in the air due to the cold. The Son of Heaven wears white clothes, rides a white camel, wears white jade ornaments, and raises a white flag. He eats millet and dog meat, drinks dew blown by the eight winds, burns cedar wood to cook rice, and uses a sun glass to make a fire. The maids in the west palace wear white clothes, with white patterns embroidered on their clothes, and ring the white bell.
