Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the second nine are heavy, called "Chongjiu", and at the same time, the two yang numbers are combined, so it is called "Chongyang", which is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. The folk have the custom of ascending on that day, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called the "Ascending Festival", and there are also sayings such as the Chongjiu Festival, the Dogwood Festival, and the Chrysanthemum Festival. In 1989, the mainland officially designated the Chung Yeung Festival as the "Old People's Day" and "Respect for the Elderly Day", and the traditional Chung Yeung Festival was given a new meaning.
In this season of crisp autumn and fragrant rice, we ushered in another Chung Yeung Festival. In order to carry forward the traditional virtues of respecting, respecting and loving the elderly of the Chinese nation, on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival in 2024, schools in Jize County have carried out a variety of Double Ninth Festival activities.
