The moon on the fifteenth is round and round.

The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional festival in China, which falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year and is a traditional folk festival in China. The Double Ninth Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the harvest sacrifice in ancient autumn and season. The number of "Nine" is a positive number in the Book of Changes, and the two positive numbers of "Nine Nine" are heavy, so it is called "Chongyang"; Because both the day and the month are nine.

So it is also called "Double Nine". Returning to the truth of 1999, the ancients thought that 1999 Chongyang was an auspicious day. In ancient times, there were folk customs such as climbing mountains to pray for blessings, enjoying chrysanthemums in autumn, wearing dogwood, drinking alcohol to worship ancestors and praying for longevity. So far, it has added the connotation of respecting the elderly, feasting on the day of Chongyang, and being grateful for respecting the elderly. Climbing mountains and enjoying autumn and giving thanks and respecting the elderly are two important themes of today's Double Ninth Festival.

In the historical development and evolution, the Double Ninth Festival is a mixture of various folk customs, bearing rich cultural connotations. In the folk concept, "nine" is the largest number, which means longevity, and it places people's wishes for the health and longevity of the elderly. From 65438 to 0989, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month was designated as "Respect for the Elderly", which advocated the whole society to establish the atmosphere of respecting, respecting, loving and helping the elderly. On May 20th, 2006, the Double Ninth Festival was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in the State Council.
