Double Nine Festival

double nine festival

 

September the 9th is the traditional Chongyang Festival in China. Because number 6 was stipulated as a yin number and 9 as a yang number, so the day of September the 9th became Chongyang Festival.(In Chinese language, chong means double) or called as Chongjiu(double nine) Festival. Chinese think Chongyang Festival is a good day, and this festival has been celebrating long long ago.

There are many activities on Chongyang Festival, such as travel outside, climbing hills, appreciating the chrysanthemum, wear cornels, eating chongyang cakes, drinking chrysanthemum wine and so on.

Today's Chongyang becomes much meaningful. For example, it has been decided as Senior People's Day. On this day, senior people go out and enjoy themselves very much.
