Today falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of lunar calendar,
so it is known as ChongYang Festival.
In old China,ppl think Yin and Yang are the two opposing principles
in nature-----Yin is feminine while Yang is masculine.
Numbers are related to this theory,too.Even numbers belong to Yin and odd numbers to Yang,today is two Yang numbers meet therefor it's called double Yang.Since nine is the highest odd digit,
today is also become a special day for the elderly.
To me,it's perfect time for outdoor activities like hiking and
climbing due to bright clear weather.Btw,I like chongyang cake.
