Double Ninth Festival

The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese folk festival. It falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year. The number "nine" is a yang number in the "Book of Changes". "The two yang numbers coincide with each other, so it is called "Double Ninth Festival"; because the sun and the moon both coincide with the ninth day, it is also called "Double Ninth Festival". The ninth day of the ninth year returns to the true state and the first yuan begins. The ancients believed that the double ninth day is an auspicious day.

In ancient times, people had customs such as climbing high to pray for blessings, worshiping gods and ancestors, and drinking banquets to pray for longevity during the Double Ninth Festival. These customs have been passed down to this day, and connotations such as respecting the elderly have been added. Climbing high to appreciate the autumn and being grateful and respectful to the elderly are today's Double Ninth Festival activities. The Double Ninth Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena, started in ancient times, became popular in the Western Han Dynasty, and flourished after the Tang Dynasty.
