September 9th on lunar calendar is the Double Ninth Festival every year, a traditional festival of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years，the Double Ninth Festival was formally set down as a folk festival as early as the Tang Dynasty; and both the emperors and civilians alike celebrated the festival following the etiquette and customs. As time goes by, the Double Ninth Festival has gradually formed the celebrating conventions of going on a journey, ascending a height and wearing cornels. On that day, the whole family will always gather to spend the festival together, while those far from their homes will become more homesick. As the figure “9” represents longevity and health in the traditional concept of Han people, the Chinese government set September 9th on lunar calendar as “the Seniors' Day” in 1989.
