The Origin of the Chongyang Festival
On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, comes a traditional Chinese festival: Chongyang, the Double Ninth Festival.
In the Book of Changes, “nine” is believed to be a Yang number, and there are two nines on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. That is why it is called the Double Ninth Festival. In folklore, “nine” is the largest number, pronounced the same in Chinese as the word signifying “forever”. Therefore, this number gains the meaning of “living a long life”. It has been practiced by Chinese people since ancient times that “Filial piety is the most important of all virtues.” In 1989, the Chinese government designated the Double Ninth Festival as Seniors’ Day, encouraging people to respect, take good care of and love the seniors around the country.
There are some customs of the Double Ninth Festival.
重阳节
Ascending a Height: In ancient times, people observed the custom of climbing hills and mountains to pray for blessings on this day. “Ascending a height” has a symbolic meaning of “promotion” and “high” means “longevity”, which means people can live a long life.
茱萸
Wearing Dogwood: The ancients thought that wearing dogwood on this day could avoid evil spirits and ward off bad luck.
重阳糕
Eating the Double Ninth Cake: In Chinese, “gao”(cake) has the same pronunciation as “gao”(height). People do so just to hope for progress in everything they are engaged in. The Double Ninth Cake is symbolizing the meaning of “step-by-step promotion”.
The Double Ninth Festival is coming again. On this traditional festival, don’t forget to get together with your family, climb high to enjoy distant views and eat the Double Ninth Cake.
重阳节的起源
农历九月九日是中国的传统节日——重阳节。《易经》中认为九是阳数，在农历九月九日有两个至阳数字九，因此称为重阳节。 中国传统习俗认为九是最大的数字，并且它的发音与汉字“久”相同。因此，九又有“长长久久”之意。从古至今，孝道都是中华民族的重要美德。1989年，我国将重阳节作为老人节，鼓励大家尊重、爱护全国的老年人。
重阳节有许多传统习俗。登高：古人们会在九九重阳日登高祈福。登高寓意进步，而“高”寓意着长久。插茱萸：古人认为插茱萸可以辟邪驱赶噩运。吃重阳糕：在中文里“糕”与“高”发音相同。人们吃重阳糕是祈祷事事进步，重阳糕也寓意着“步步高升”。
在这个传统佳节，不要忘记与家人一起登高望远，品尝重阳糕。
