The Double Ninth Festival, also named Chong Yang Festival, falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. That’s how it gets its name.

This festival is celebrated for elderly people in China. People think “double ninth” sounds like the word “forever”. It is a day for the elderly to enjoy themselves and also a day for young people to show respect and love for the elders.

There are two main traditions for this festival. On this day, people would like to drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒). Ancient people believed that chrysanthemum could drive away bad luck and prevent one from getting illness in late autumn, so drinking chrysanthemum wine became a tradition at the Double Ninth Festival. Besides, the Chinese word for “wine” is jiu. Its pronunciation is the same as that of the Chinese word for “long”. The word carries best wishes for the elderly.

The festival is celebrated in autumn. The bright clear weather and the joy of harvest make it a perfect time for outdoor activities. On this day, people often go mountain climbing. When climbing, they usually wear zhuyu, which is seen as a kind of plant that can cure diseases. People climb mountains with zhuyu to wish for elders a long life.

In fact, people show respect for elderly people not only on this special day but also in daily life. It has been a traditional virtue (美德) in China for centuries. What’s more, to respect the elderly today is to respect our future selves.
