The Double Ninth Festival 重阳节
农历九月初九是重阳节。这是一个很古老的节日，距今已有一千七百多年的历史。The Double Ninth Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It is a very old festival and has a history of more than 1,700 years.
在中国数字中，一、三、五、七、九为阳数，二、四、六、八为阴数。因此，九月初九被称作重阳或重九。中国古代，重阳节是一个重要的节日，这一天要举行各种活动，如：登高、赏菊、插茱萸、吃重阳糕等。Among Chinese numbers, the numbers one, three, five, seven and nine are thought to be yang (Chinese for masculine or positive) and two, four, six and eight are thought to be yin (Chinese for feminine or negative). Thus, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is called the Double Yang or Double Ninth. As an important festival in ancient China, the Double Ninth Festival was celebrated by doing various activities, such as climbing a mountain, appreciating chrysanthemums, wearing cornel and eating double ninth cakes.
