English-Chinese/Chongyang Festival

Chongyang Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar, is a traditional Chinese festival. According to the <Yijing>, nine is a yang number; the ninth day of the ninth lunar month (or double nine) has too much yang (a traditional Chinese spiritual concept) and is thus a potentially dangerous date. Hence, the day is called "Double Yang Festival" (重阳节). To protect against danger, it is customary to climb a high mountain.

重阳节是在中国历法的第九个月的第九天，是一个传统的中国节日。 根据<易经>，九是阳数; 农历九月的第九天（或双九）有太多的阳（中国传统的精神概念），因此是一个潜在的危险日期。 因此，这一天被称为“重阳节”。 为了防止危险，这一天习惯上登高避祸。
