Showing Respect(尊重) for Seniors
Dads have Father’s Day. Mums have Mother’s Day. Kids have Children’s Day. But，do our grandparents have a special holiday? Yes，they do!
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China. The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar(农历). As the Chinese word for nine has the same sound as the word for long，people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes for long life to elderly people.
There are many traditions for this festival. On that day，families get together and climb mountains for good luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer. They also drink chrysanthemum wine(菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are seen as clean plants that can clean houses and prevent(阻止) illnesses.
Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example，when an older person enters a room，everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table，the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting(呈递) something to an older person，two hands are used. On a crowded subway or bus，younger people always offer their seats to elderly people.
It is a traditional virtue(美德) in China to respect elderly people. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So，Chinese people are proud of being old. Besides，to respect elderly people is to respect yourself tomorrow.
