The Chongyang Festival is a traditional Chinese festival.It is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar(阴历) month. It's also called the Double Ninth Festival.
The festival started as early as the Warring States Period(475－221BC). It has a history of more than 2，000 years. Among the numbers from zero to nine, nine is the highest odd number(奇数). People believe that two “ninths” meeting together stand for a long life. So it is a special holiday for Chinese people to show love and respect for their elders. They hold many kinds of activities in honor of old people to wish them good health and a long life.
The festival comes during the golden time of fall. On the day, people traditionally drink chrysanthemum(菊花) wine, eat Double Ninth Cakes and climb mountains. They also carry a kind of plant, its name is dogwood. People in ancient times believed that the plant could drive away evil(邪恶的) spirits and prevent them from catching an illness in winter.

There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father's Day. Mums have Mother's Day. But do our grandparents have a special festival Yes, they do!
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.
There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.
Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That's because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.
In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They'd rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休) they take up hobbies, part time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.
Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don't have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts (打折) in stores and restaurants.
But Western seniors don't often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents' home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.

During the Han dynasty，Dongfang Shuo was a favorite adviser of the emperor.One winter day，while walking in the garden of the emperor's palace he saw that a maid(侍女)was ready to kill herself.He stopped her and asked why.She said she was Yuan Xiao and that she had never had a chance to see her family.Dongfang decided to help them get together.
After leaving the palace，Dongfang made everyone believe there would be a huge fire on the night of the fifteenth lunar day.People were all worried.
The emperor asked Dongfang for advice.Dongfang said the God of Fire liked to eat sweet dumplings(tangyuan).Every family should prepare tangyuan．Also，every house should hang red lanterns and set off firecrackers.Lastly，everyone should go out to the street to watch the lantern decorations(装饰)and fireworks.Then the city would look like a city on fire and might avoid the huge fire.
The emperor happily followed the plan.That night Yuan Xiao's family went to watch the lantern decorations and saw Yuan Xiao.Everyone spent the night safely，so the emperor said people should do the same thing every year.Since Yuan Xiao cooked the best tangyuan，people called the day Yuan Xiao Festival.
