传统文化 The Chongyang Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. It is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar (阴历的) month. It's also called the Double Ninth Festival.
The festival started as early as the Warring States Period (475 - 221 BC). It has a history of more than 2,000 years. Among the numbers from zero to nine, nine is the biggest odd number (奇数). People believe that two “ninths” meeting together stand for a long life. So it is a special holiday for Chinese people to show love and respect for their elders. They hold many kinds of activities in honour of old people to wish them good health and a long life.
The festival comes during the golden time of fall. On the day, people traditionally drink chrysanthemum (菊花) wine, eat Double Ninth cake and climb mountains. They also carry a kind of plant, and its name is dogwood (山茱萸). People in ancient times believed that the plant could drive away evil (邪恶的) spirits and prevent them from catching an illness in winter.
