Cultural Connotation of Chongyang Festival

The festival is also known as the "Chrysanthemum Festival", which has been formed as early as the Warring States period, and the atmosphere grew stronger during the Wei and Jin dynasties, and has been chanted by writers and ink writers throughout the ages.

The festival is a way to pay tribute to the ancestors and to think of the source of the water.

Respect for the Elderly - New Era's "Elderly Day"

The Chinese people's excellent tradition of honoring and respecting the elderly arose from the period of ignorance and has weathered the storms and the test of time. From tradition to law, this is undoubtedly a progress.

Honoring filial piety - the bearing of filial piety tradition

A person receives no greater favor than his parents, who are the ones who gave birth to us. The five rules of the family are: father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother's friendship, brother's respect, and son's filial piety, and they are the foundation of family harmony and prosperity. Though the thoughts of all the schools of thought in China are different, they all emphasize filial piety. The old man longs for filial piety, because of its urgent need for support; middle-aged people long for filial piety, because of its inevitable old age; children long for filial piety, no filial piety, there is no love; society longs for filial piety, no filial piety, the society will become indifferent; the country longs for filial piety, no filial piety, the people of the country will not be loyal to the country.

Thanksgiving - a universal value
