Meng Haoran's Autumn Country-specific Mountains to Zhang: On the North Peak among the white clouds, you have found your seclusion. I tried to climb the mountain and look ahead, and this mood disappeared with the departure of the swan song. Sadness is often the mood of dusk, and the mood is often the atmosphere of autumn. Tourists come to the village on the mountain, walk across the beach, sit at the ferry and have a rest. The forest in the distance is like a shepherd's purse, overlooking the river bank like a crescent moon. I hope you will pick me up, bring a basket of wine and get drunk on the Double Ninth Festival.

Second, new ideas? 1. The Double Ninth Festival is also a festival for the elderly: the ninth day of the ninth lunar month (Double Ninth Festival) is a festival for the elderly and a new festival for all people to respect the elderly. 1989, China designated the Double Ninth Festival as the "Festival for the Elderly", and the traditional festival was injected with new content. On this day every year, respecting, loving and helping the elderly become the main theme of the festival. 1, 201The Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, which came into effect in July, clearly stated that "the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the festival for the elderly every year", making the ninth day of the ninth lunar month the legal festival for the elderly in China.

2. Why is the Double Ninth Festival designated as the Festival for the Elderly? First, because the word "Gao" means "longevity", people think that climbing can prolong life; Second, the homonym of "Jiujiu" is "Jiujiu", which means long life and longevity. Therefore, on this day, people will hold banquets to respect the elderly and wish them health and longevity. China began to respect the elderly in the 1980s, and later it was gradually defined as "Festival for the Elderly".

With the gradual weakening of traditional customs, new customs of respecting the elderly have gradually formed. Therefore, the theme of the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is generally defined as "respect for the elderly", and this day has become "respect for the elderly".
