重阳节DoubleNinthFestival
“九九”两阳数相重，故曰“重阳”;因日与月皆逢九，故又称为“重九”。九九归真，一元肇始，古人认为九九重阳是吉祥的日子。古时民间在重阳节有登高祈福、秋游赏菊、佩插茱萸、拜神祭祖及饮宴祈寿等习俗。
农历九月初九，是传统的重阳节，又称为“老人节”。重阳节早在战国时期就已经形成，到了唐代，重阳节已经被证实定为民间的节日，此后重阳节一直沿袭至今。ThelunarcalendaronSeptember9,isthetraditionaldoubleninthfestival,alsocalls“TheOldPersonFestival”.ThedoubleninthFestivalasearlyasalreadyformedintheWarringStatestime,totheTangdynasty,ThedoubleninthFestivalhasbeendecidedasofficiallyfolktheholiday,hereafterthedoubleninthfestivalfollowsuntilnow.
登高可以驱除霉运，还意指“晋升高位”。这也是古人为什么很重视这一传统习俗。登高之所以受人重视，特别受老人重视，是因为人们认为登高还意寓“登顶长寿”。除此之外，人们还相信登山能使人健康长寿。Apartfromexpellingbadluckanddisasters,climbingmountingalsoindicates“climbingtoahigherposition”,anditisalsoanimportantreasonwhyancientpeoplepaymuchattentionaboutthiscustom.Anotherreasonthatclimbingmountainsarevaluedbypeople,especiallybytheelderlyisthatishasameaningof“climbtoalongevouslife”.Alsoforthisreasonpeoplebelievethatclimbingmountainscanmakepeopleliveamorelongevouslife.
在九月登高既是件惬意放松的事，又是件可以欣赏到自然之美的幸事。重阳节登高，在唐代就开始盛行了，古时也有很多跟重阳登高有关的诗歌。Itisreallyrefreshingtoclimbmountainsandenjoythebeautyofnatureatthisbrightandcleartimeinautumn.ClimbingmountainsonDoubleNinthFestivalwasalreadyprevailingintheTangDynasty,andalotofpoemsweredevotedtothiscustom.
九九重阳诗词赏析
《九月九日忆山东兄弟》王维
独在异乡为异客，
每逢佳节倍思亲。
遥知兄弟登高处，
遍插茱萸少一人。

《登高》杜甫
风急天高猿啸哀，渚清沙白鸟飞回。
无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。
万里悲秋常作客，百年多病独登台。
艰难苦恨繁霜鬓，潦倒新停浊酒杯。
