The Chongyang Festival is a traditional festival in China. We also call it the Double Ninth Festival 1
because
it falls on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. In Chinese culture, the number nine is the largest number—it's a homophone(同音形异义词) to the Chinese word jiu, which means "a long and 2
healthy
life". In China, people usually go hiking or climb 3
mountains
with their family and friends during the festival. Besides, they drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and eat Chongyang cakes 4
on
that day. They think these can bring them good luck and best 5
wishes
