Introduction to the Double Ninth Festival:
The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the traditional Double Ninth Festival. Because in the ancient Book of Changes, "six" is defined as the yin number and "nine" as the yang number, on September 9th, the sun and the moon are combined with yang, and the two nine are heavy, so it is called Chongyang, also called Double Ninth. The ancients thought it was an auspicious day to celebrate, and this festival was celebrated from a very early age. The activities to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival are colorful and romantic, which generally include traveling to enjoy the scenery, climbing high into the distance, watching chrysanthemums, inserting dogwoods all over the place, eating double ninth festival cakes, drinking chrysanthemum wine and other activities. Double Ninth Festival, because it is homophonic with "for a long time", and nine is the largest number in numbers, has the meaning of long life. Moreover, autumn is also the golden season for a year's harvest, and the Double Ninth Festival has far-reaching implications. People have always had special feelings for this festival. There are many excellent poems in Tang poetry and Song poetry to congratulate Double Ninth Festival and chant chrysanthemums.
Today's Double Ninth Festival has been given a new meaning. In 1989, China designated September 9th as the festival for the elderly, which skillfully combined tradition with modernity and became a festival for respecting, loving and helping the elderly. At this time, all organs, organizations and streets in the country often organize old people who have retired from their jobs to enjoy the scenery in autumn, or to have fun near the water or climb mountains to keep fit, so that their bodies and minds can be bathed in the embrace of nature; The younger generation of many families will also help the elderly elders to go to the suburbs for activities or prepare some delicious food for the elderly.
The Double Ninth Festival and the three festivals of Chu, Qing and Yu are also the four major festivals for ancestor worship in traditional festivals in China. On December 28th, 212, the law made it clear that the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the festival for the elderly.
