Planned by "Sunbird" Arizona Chinese Network WWW.SUNBIRDARIZONA.COM An old friend, Ji Jishu, invited me to Tian's house. The green trees border the village, and the green mountains and hills slope outside. Open a pavilion and a garden, talk about mulberry and hemp over wine. When the Double Ninth Festival comes, there will be chrysanthemums. ——"Passing the Old Friend's Village" (Tang Dynasty) Meng Haoran I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my relatives even more during the festive season. I know from afar that when my brothers climbed to a high place, there was only one less person planting dogwood trees. ——"Remembering Shandong Brothers on September 9th" (Tang Dynasty) Wang Wei Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double Ninth Festival is approaching again. October 23, 2012 is the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the Double Ninth Festival. Every day on this day, people climb high to "avoid disasters", plant dogwood trees, admire chrysanthemums, taste cakes and eat crabs. The two Tang poems mentioned above vividly describe the situation on the Double Ninth Festival. It can be said that the Double Ninth Festival is one of the traditional festivals that has been chanted the most by literati throughout the ages.
