Extended information:

The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional folk festival in China, which falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year. The number of "nine" is the number of yang in the Book of Changes, and the number of yang in the nine and nine is heavy, so it is called "Chongyang"; It is also called "double ninth" because the day and the month all meet nine. Returning to the truth in 1999, one yuan began, and the ancients thought that Chongyang in 1999 was an auspicious day.

In ancient times, there were customs of climbing mountains to pray for blessings, worshipping gods and ancestors, and drinking and praying for longevity on the Double Ninth Festival. Inherited to this day, it has added connotations such as respecting the elderly. Climbing the mountain to enjoy autumn and giving thanks to respect for the elderly are two important themes of today's Double Ninth Festival.

The Double Ninth Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena, which began in ancient times, spread in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished after the Tang Dynasty. According to the existing historical data and textual research, in ancient times, there were activities of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors in the season and autumn.

In September, when the crops were harvested, the ancients offered sacrifices to the Heavenly Emperor and ancestors, which was an activity of thanking the Heavenly Emperor and ancestors for their kindness. This is the original form of the Double Ninth Festival as an autumn harvest sacrifice activity. The Tang Dynasty is an important period in which traditional festival customs are mixed and shaped, and its main part has been passed down to this day.

China was a farming society and agricultural civilization in ancient times, which attached great importance to the experience of ancestors.

The origin of ancient traditional festivals is related to ancient primitive beliefs, sacrificial culture, astronomical phenomena, calendars and other humanistic and natural cultural contents, and contains profound cultural connotations of respecting morality, etiquette and music civilization.
