The Double Ninth Festival, on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, is called “Chong Ninth”. The folks have a custom of climbing on that day, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called “Climbing Festival”. There are also sayings such as Chongjiu Festival, Cornel and Chrysanthemum Festival. Since the homonym of “Nine Nine” on the ninth day of September is “for a long time”, it has a long-lasting meaning, so ancestor worship and activities to respect the elderly are often carried out on this day.
