The Double Ninth Festival
The Double Ninth Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It is a very old festival and has a history of more than 1,700 years. As an important festival in ancient China, people celebrated the Double Ninth Festival by doing many kinds of activities, such as climbing a mountain, drinking tea and wine made from chrysanthemums(菊花), wearing cornel (茱萸) and eating double ninth cakes.
Climbing a mountain is a main activity on the Double Ninth Festival. Ancient people thought climbing a mountain on this day could help them avoid disasters. It is also traditional to wear cornel and drink tea and wine made from chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival. People believe that they can avoid disease by doing this. Cornel is a kind of plant. Its fruits can be eaten and its leaves can be made into medicine. Chrysanthemums come out in September. They are called “flowers of long life”.
One can no longer see anyone wearing cornel on the Double Ninth Festival now, but many people still climb a mountain to enjoy chrysanthemums and the beauty of autumn. A few years ago, new life was added into this old festival. We make this day the Senior’s Day. It is a special holiday for Chinese people to show love and respect for their elders. People hold many kinds of activities to respect the old people, wishing them good health and a long life.
