Dragon

Boat

Festival,

also

Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month

according

to

the

Chinese

For

thousands

marked

by

and

racing

dragon

The most important activities of this festival are the

their

boats

forward

to

the

rhythm

（节奏

of

beating

drums.

These

exciting races were inspired by the villager's attempts to

rescue

Chu

Yuan

from

the

Mi

Lo

River.

This

tradition

has

remained unbroken for centuries.

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung

tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat,

peanut, egg yolk

（蛋黄）

, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo

leaves.

The

tradition

of

tzung

meant

to

remind

us

of

the

village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi

Low River in order to appease the river dragons so that they

would not devour Chu Yuan.

day

of

the

9th

lunar

month

is

Chong

yang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival. It usually falls in

calendar.

In

an

ancient

and

mysterious

book Yi Jing, or The Book of Changes, number 6 was thought to

be

of

Yin

character,

meaning

feminine

or

negative,

while

number

So

the

number nine

in both month and day

create

the Double Ninth

Festival.

Chong

in

Chinese

means

double.

Also, as double ninth was pronounced the same as the word to

signify

forever,

Jiu,

the

Chinese

ancestors

considered

it

an

auspicious

day

worth

celebration.

That

‘

s

why

ancient

Chinese

began

to

celebrate

this

festival

long

time

ago.

The

Double

Ninth

Festival

is

also

a

time

when

chrysanthemum

blooms.

China

boasts

diversified

species

of

chrysanthemum and people have loved them since ancient times.

So enjoying the flourishing chrysanthemum also becomes a key

activity

on

this

festival.

Also,

people

will

drink

chrysanthemum

wine.

Women

used

to

stick

such

a

flower

into

their

hair

or

hang

its

branches

on

windows

or

doors

to

avoid

evilness.

In 1989, the Chinese government decided the Double Ninth

Festival as Seniors

‘

Day. Since then, all government units,

organizations

and

streets

communities

will

organize

an

autumn

trip

each

year

for those

who have

retired

from their posts.

At

the

waterside

or

on

the

mountains,

the

seniors

will

find

themselves merged

into

nature.

Younger

generations will

bring

elder

ones

to

suburban

areas

or

send

gifts

to

them

on

this

day.

二，重阳节

农历九月九日，为传统的 重阳节。因为古老的《易经》中把“六”定

为阴数，把“九”定为阳数，九月九日，日月 并阳，两九相重，故而

叫重阳，也叫重九，古人认为是个值得庆贺的吉利日子，并且从很 早

就开始过此节日。

重阳节正是一年的金秋时节，

菊花盛开，

民间 还把农历九月称为

“菊月”

，在菊花傲霜怒放的重阳节里，观赏 菊花成了节日的一项重

要内容，当然，

人们也会喝一些菊花酒。 女人会把茱萸插在头上或挂

在门口，可以避难消灾。
