B
The Double Ninth Festival is
a traditional festival in China. It is
on the ninth day of the ninth month
in the Chinese lunar calendar. It is a good time to
climb mountains and enjoy the natural beauty of
the autumn season. People usually go mountain
climbing with their elders or prepare some
delicious food for them.
There are many other activities to do on this
day. For example, people wear cornel（茱萸）
leaves, eat Chongyang cakes, enjoy chrysanthemums
（菊花）and drink chrysanthemum wine.
In Chinese, “gao” (cake) and “gao” (high)
sound the same. People make Chongyang cakes
and eat them, hoping that life will get better and
better—like going higher and higher!
Tao Yuanming is a great poet（诗人）. He
likes chrysanthemums and drinks chrysanthemum
wine during the Double Ninth Festival. Thus
enjoying the flowers and drinking the wine have
become traditional customs on this day.
