  Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, one misses family doubly during festivals. The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese folk festival, celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month each year. The number "nine" is a yang number in the I Ching, and "double nine" means two yang numbers together, hence the name "Double Ninth"; both the day and the month are the ninth.

 

  Suitable for "Climbing Heights, Respecting the Elderly"

  In ancient times, folk customs during the Double Ninth Festival included climbing heights to pray for blessings, worshipping gods and ancestors, and feasting to pray for longevity. These traditions have been passed down to the present, with the added meaning of respecting the elderly. "Climbing to enjoy autumn" and "Gratitude and respect for the elderly" are the two main themes of today's Double Ninth Festival activities.

 

  Designated as the "Senior Citizens' Day"

  On May 20, 2006, the Double Ninth Festival was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists by the State Council. The 2012 revision of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, passed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, stipulates that the ninth day of the ninth lunar month each year is "Senior Citizens' Day."
