China中国传统节日·重阳
CCTV.com reports (Xinwen Lianbo): The Chongyang Festival is a Chinese festival for honoring older people and showing filial devotion to one's parents.
央视网消息（新闻联播）：重阳节是中国人敬老孝亲的节日。
At the end of the program, let us explore the cultural meaning of the Chongyang Festival and experience the beauty of traditional Chinese festivals.
节目的最后，我们一起了解重阳节的文化内涵，感受中国传统节日之美。
In Chinese culture, "nine" is the highest yang number. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, both the day and the month are yang, and the two nines coincide, hence the name "Chongyang," or "Double Yang."
在中国文化里，“九”是阳数之极，九月初九，日月并阳，两九相重，故称“重阳”。
Over the centuries, the Chongyang Festival has taken on many layers of meaning: celebrating the harvest, longing for home and loved ones, and wishing for health and longevity. Today, respect for older people and filial devotion have become the festival's deepest underlying values. Chongyang customs have also gradually grown richer: climbing to high places to admire the autumn scenery, wearing sprigs of cornel, eating Chongyang cakes, and drinking chrysanthemum tea.
千百年来，重阳节被赋予多重内涵：庆祝丰收、思乡思亲、祈愿健康长寿。时至今日，敬老孝亲成为这个节日最厚重的底色。重阳的节日风俗也逐渐丰盈起来，登高赏秋，佩戴茱萸，吃重阳糕，饮菊花茶。
Chrysanthemums are an emblematic feature of the Chongyang Festival, regarded as symbols of integrity, detachment from worldly concerns, and longevity. By admiring, wearing, and drinking chrysanthemums, Chinese people use the qualities of a flower to settle their bodies and minds and cultivate their character.
菊花，是重阳节的典型风物，被视作高洁、淡泊、长寿的象征。中国人赏菊、佩菊、饮菊，是以一朵花的姿态，安顿身心、砥砺品格。
On Chongyang, the double ninth, affection endures for a long, long time.
九九重阳，久久情长。
