重阳大派对: elderly celebration of longevity and harvest

重阳 festivals, also known as the Double Ninth Festival or Chong Yang Jie, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth month in the lunar calendar, which falls between September 22 and October 22 in the Gregorian calendar.

This festival has a long history dating back to ancient China when people believed that this day was auspicious for health and longevity due to its symbolic association with nine (a number considered lucky). People would climb high mountains or plant ginkgo biloba trees to show respect for their elders who are often associated with wisdom, experience and strength.

In addition to climbing hills or planting ginkgo trees, people also enjoy drinking chrysanthemum wine during this time period because it's believed to promote good health and longevity by improving circulation and cleansing toxins from the body.

The Double Ninth Festival is an opportunity for families to come together, honor their elders, celebrate life itself while appreciating nature's beauty - especially as autumn arrives in many parts of China with its vibrant foliage colors.

These six major Chinese holidays not only represent different aspects of Chinese culture but they also highlight how much importance is placed on family bonding ceremonies where ancestors are remembered through various rituals like burning incense sticks at ancestral altars during Qingming Festival; giving out mooncakes during Mid-Autumn; visiting grave sites after death during Ching Ming Festival; eating rice balls filled with sweet fillings called zongzhi at Dragon Boat races etcetera!
