The festival for the elderly falls on September 9th, also known as the Double Ninth Festival, which is a traditional festival to respect the elderly in China. The Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly (hereinafter referred to as the Law on the Elderly), which came into effect on July 20 13, stipulates that "the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the festival for the elderly every year" and the Double Ninth Festival in 20 1 3 (10/kloc-0)
The Double Ninth Festival is also called the Double Ninth Festival, which means "for a long time" and stands for long-term and longevity. Autumn is a harvest season, everything begins to wither, symbolizing people's old age, and chrysanthemums symbolizing longevity are also in bloom at this time. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival has the meaning of wishing the elderly a long life. After the founding of New China, it also complied with the traditional meaning and set the Double Ninth Festival as the festival for the elderly.
In fact, in 1989, China officially designated the ninth day of the ninth lunar month as "China Elderly Festival". In 1999, Chongyang respects the elderly. Besides going home, of course, it also respects parents. With the vigorous promotion of the country, Chongyang Festival has attracted more and more attention from the whole society.
