September 9th Double Ninth Festival, respect for the elderly, overflowing with warmth

The Double Ninth Festival, also known as the "Old Man's Day", originated from the ancient custom of climbing high. The ancients believed that the Double Ninth Festival, with two nines, was an auspicious number. Climbing high and looking far away can not only ward off evil, but also strengthen the body. On this day, every household inserts dogwood, drinks chrysanthemum wine, and climbs high to look far, expressing good wishes for health and longevity.

In the fast-paced modern life, we often neglect communication with our elders because of being busy. The arrival of the Double Ninth Festival reminds us to stop and listen to the stories of the elders with our heart, and feel their life wisdom. A warm greeting and a concerned look can make them feel extremely happy in their hearts.

The Double Ninth Festival is not only a care for the elders, but also a cultural inheritance. We should integrate the tradition of respecting and loving the elderly into our daily lives, make respecting the elderly and the virtuous a social trend, and let every elderly person enjoy the warmth and respect of society.

During this Double Ninth Festival, let us take practical actions to turn our love and respect for the elders into warm actions, let the virtue of respecting and loving the elderly take root in our hearts, and let warmth and care become the best bridge between us and our elders.
