China's traditional festivals about honoring the elderly.

China's traditional festival about honoring elders is the Double Ninth Festival.

The ninth day of the ninth lunar month (10 June 14) is a traditional festival in China-the Double Ninth Festival. In the Book of Changes, "nine" is designated as yang number. On September 9, the sun and the moon combined with the sun, which was twofold, so it was called Chongyang. The Ninth Five-Year Plan means a long life, and people are pinning their wishes for the health and longevity of the elderly.

The Double Ninth Festival has far-reaching significance. The ancient customs have evolved to this day, incorporating more cultural elements such as "longevity" and "filial piety". Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Festival for the Elderly and the Festival for Respecting the Elderly. Climbing high to enjoy autumn, visiting old friends, and being grateful and respecting the elderly have become the three major themes of the modern Double Ninth Festival.

The Double Ninth Festival has the custom of climbing mountains, which means promotion, longevity and evil spirits, and can win a good title. At this time, you can go outdoors to enjoy the burning chrysanthemums all over the mountains, which can also make your body better adapt to the change of temperature and enhance your body's resistance!

Respecting the elderly is the most important custom of the Double Ninth Festival. Respect the old and love the young. Crows still have the intention of feeding back, and lambs also have the feeling of kneeling and nursing. Double Ninth Festival, respect for the elderly and filial piety, let us be grateful to our parents and honor our elders.

Double Ninth Festival, love your parents. Let us always have a grateful heart, grateful to those ancestors who carried forward the burden and thanked them for giving us a peaceful life today; I thank those hardworking elders for supporting this blue sky for us. Let the Chinese traditional virtues of "respecting, respecting, loving and helping the elderly" be passed down from generation to generation and shine forever!
