Is there a holiday on the Double Ninth Festival?
Don't let go.

According to the National Statutory Holidays and Commemorations issued by the State Council, the Double Ninth Festival does not belong to all or part of our citizens, so it is not a holiday.

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 a positive number in the Book of Changes, and the two positive numbers of "Nine Nine" are heavy, so it is called "Chongyang"; It is also called "Double Ninth Festival", because both the date and the month conform to nine. Returning to the truth of 1999, the ancients thought that 1999 Chongyang was an auspicious day. In ancient times, there were customs such as climbing to pray for blessings, offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, and drinking and praying for blessings. Inherited to this day, it has increased the connotation of 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.
