The Chongyang Festival is an ancient Chinese festival. As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were records about the Chongyang Festival. Successive generations of literati and writers have left poems about the Chongyang Festival.

1. Since the Han Dynasty, Chongyang Festival has been the custom of longevity. It can be concluded that the Chongyang Festival was really formed in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was finally formalized as a folk festival, and then successive generations gave it new contents and connotations, gradually forming the present Chongyang Festival. In the I Ching, everything has a negative and a positive side, and numbers are no exception. The number "six" is designated as a negative number and the number "nine" as a positive number. The ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth month of the ninth lunar month is the day of the double sun. For this reason, September 9 is known as Chung Yeung Festival, also known as Chung Yeung Festival, but more often referred to as Chung Yeung Festival. On Chongyang Festival, people would bring chrysanthemum wine, put dogwood on their heads, climb mountains with friends and relatives, drink chrysanthemum wine and eat pastries to remember their distant relatives.

2. The Chongyang Festival is held in the high and clear autumn, which is suitable for climbing the mountain. Chrysanthemums are in full bloom at this time, so chrysanthemum viewing becomes one of the activities of this festival. Chongyang Festival is the season of harvest, and when people are happy for a good harvest, they consider it as a blessing from their ancestors and heaven. For this reason, people have designated Chongyang Festival, New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival as the four major traditional festivals for ancestor worship in China. Therefore, the ninth day of the ninth month of September is known as Chongyang Festival, Chongyang Festival because it belongs to the Yang number, even nine. Nine means nine-nine, and nine is the largest of the single numbers. So far, the Chinese people have designated September 9 as the Festival of Respect for the Elderly.

3. The Chinese have a special passion for numbers, such as 6 and 8 in even numbers, which have meanings of harmony and prosperity, especially when applying for a license plate, when getting married and when moving, they choose days that contain these numbers. The number 9 has a long history of resonance with the Chinese character, signifying a long and enduring connotation. That's why the Chongyang Festival is set on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, also to wish the elderly in the family a long life and a hundred years of life.

In folklore, the custom of Chung Yeung Festival is still preserved. Respecting and loving the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and the Chongyang Festival has become a traditional cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. It is the historical responsibility of our contemporary people to continue and carry forward this traditional culture.
