Double Ninth Festival
The Double Ninth Festival is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It originated from an ancient
Chinese legend. It is said that in ancient times there was an old man who loved drinking. His
birthday was on the ninth day of September. Every year on this day, people would send him fine
wine and food, wishing him long life and good health. Gradually, this day became the Double
Ninth Festival. There is also the custom of climbing mountains during the Double Ninth Festival.
People believe that climbing high and looking far away on this day can avoid bad luck and disaster,
and at the same time increase the health and auspiciousness of the body. Therefore, every Double
Ninth Festival, people choose to go outing in the mountains to breathe fresh air and enjoy the
beautiful scenery of autumn.
In addition to climbing, the Double Ninth Festival is also a time for people to go home and visit
relatives. Family reunion is one of the very important values ​ ​ in traditional Chinese culture,
and the Double Ninth Festival is a good opportunity for families to get together. People will write
letters or call their relatives far away to express their longing for them, and they will also invite
their parents and relatives to spend this special holiday.
The Double Ninth Festival is also a day to respect the elderly. In traditional Chinese culture, elders
are regarded as important figures in the family. They have rich life experience and wisdom and
deserve our respect and listening. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also a time for young
people to pay tribute to their elders and express their filial piety and gratitude. People will send
greeting cards, gifts or accompany their elders to spend this holiday.
The Double Ninth Festival is not only a festival, but also a manifestation of cultural inheritance
and traditional customs. It makes people feel the warmth of family affection, the preciousness of
friendship and the harmony of family. On this special day, we can think about our love and
gratitude for our families, and take active actions to inherit and pass on the traditional virtues of
the Chinese nation.
On the Double Ninth Festival, let us share happiness and joy with our relatives and friends with
good wishes and sincere blessings.
Hongdefa team wish everyone good health, happy family, and a happy Double Ninth Festival!
