In the Tang Dynasty, Wang "September Kau Yi, Shandong brothers": "only in a foreign land, Sze Sze times; remote brothers climb department, times, Zhuyu ed a few people."
The Tao Yuanming poem: "the chrysanthemum as my heart, in September nine, the guests know what I mean, Chongyang together."
The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the Chong Yang Festival, a traditional festival in China. The celebrating activities are various and romantic ,including climbing mountains , appreciating chrysanthemums , earing dogoods , eating the Chong Yang cake and so on .
“Nine” has the same pronunciation as the Chinese character “jiu” hich stands for ”a long time” , and is the biggest single figure . Therefore it indicts longevity. There have been a lot of poems and orks celebrating Chong Yang Festival and praising chrysanthemums since ancient times.

China designates the ninth day of the ninth month as Senior‘s Day , hich bine tradition ith modern times subtly to turn it into a festival for respecting , caring about , loving , and helping the elderly people.
Chongyang,the traditional Chinese festival for the elderly,is coming around .We areplanning to visit the Nursing Home to celebrate the speacial day,and we would like to invite students from your school to join us.We have planned several activities,When we get there,we will visit the elderly in their rooms in groups,prensenting them with flowers and self-made cards to show our respect and love.Then we will do somecleaning and washing for them with the help of the nurses.
As some old people feel lonely,We may chat with them about their old days.changes of our city,or anything they are interested in.We may also give them someperformanees,singing ,dancing and so on.
I am sure we will both gain a better understanding of the olderly in China.If you haveany suggestions, please let us know.
Looking forward to your early reply.
