D
Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, so it is also called the Double Ninth Festival.
The festival has a history of over 2,000 years. Once upon a time, on a bank lived a farmer called Aniu with his blind mother. Aniu wanted to cure(治愈)his mother’s eyes. One night, he dreamed of a beautiful girl, who told him to find white chrysanthemums(菊花)in the west. She said the flower would come out on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and could cure his mother’s eyes. He followed his dream, found the flower and planted it in the yard. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the flower came out. His mother could see things again.
There are many kinds of activities on the Double Ninth Festival. Climbing mountains has been the tradition of Chongyang Festival since the Western Han Dynasty. It is good for our health. On the Double Ninth Festival, people also eat Chongyang cakes, enjoy chrysanthemum flowers, and drink chrysanthemum wine.
Today, the Double Ninth Festival has got its new meaning—a day for showing respect(尊重)to the old. Many parks, communities and organisations(社区及团体)plan activities for old people, such as an autumn trip, singing songs or sending presents to them. Many young people accompany(陪伴)the old on outings, or make some delicious food for them.
