Speaking of respecting the elderly, the first Chinese festival that comes to your mind might be the Chongyang Festival. It is also known as the Double (1)
Ninth
Festival.
One of the main traditions during the festival (2)
is
mountain climbing. People climb up mountains with their family and friends (3)
to stand
high and see far. This has been a Chinese tradition since old times.
The festival is also a time to drink chrysanthemum wine(菊花酒), eat Chongyang cakes and wear cornels(茱萸). The chrysanthemum wine is not only a delicious drink but also believed to be good (4)
for
health. People also believe that cornels can help them drive out bad spirits and bring good luck.
(5)
But
the Chongyang Festival is not just a time for climbing mountains and enjoying the natural (6)
beauty
of autumn. More importantly, it is a time to show respect for the elderly.
As the number "nine" (7)
sounds
the same as "long" (jiu) in Chinese, the festival shows people's wish for all the elderly to live a long and healthy life. So the day is also seen as (8)
a
chance to say thanks to the elderly. Families usually come together to show respect and love for the elder relatives. People may also visit (9)
their
grandparents or elder neighbours, bringing gifts and sharing meals.
The Chongyang Festival is of great importance in (10)
traditional
Chinese culture. It reminds us the value of caring for the elderly.
