Will the Double Ninth Festival and National Day be holidays together in 2019?

Eat Chongyang Cake on Double Ninth Festival:
——According to historical records, Chongyang Cake is also called Flower Cake, Chrysanthemum Cake and Five-Color Cake. There is no fixed method to make it and it is rather casual. At dawn on September 9th, people would place a piece of cake on their children’s foreheads and chant something, wishing their children success in everything. This was the original intention of the ancients making cakes in September. The elaborate Double Ninth Festival cake is made into nine layers, like a pagoda, with two lambs made on top to match the meaning of Double Ninth Festival (sheep). Some people also put a small red paper flag (instead of dogwood) on the Chongyang cake and light candles. This probably means using "lighting lamps" or "eating cakes" instead of "climbing high". There is still no fixed variety of Chongyang cake today. The soft cakes eaten on Chongyang Festival in various places are all called Chongyang cake.

What are the statutory holidays?

——According to national regulations: New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, International Labor Day (May 1st), Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are legal holidays in China.

By 1989, our government officially designated the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar as "China's Senior Citizens' Day" and "Respect for the Aged Day". The Double Ninth Festival has become a festival to respect, honor, love and help the elderly. On May 20, 2006, the Double Ninth Festival was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list by the State Council. On December 28, 2012, the "Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly" further clarified in law that the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar each year shall be designated as Senior Citizens' Day.

——China has many traditional festivals, but not every festival is a holiday. In ancient times, people had the customs of climbing high places to pray for blessings, going on autumn outings to appreciate chrysanthemums, wearing dogwood, worshiping gods and ancestors, and having banquets to pray for longevity on the Double Ninth Festival. It has been passed down to this day, and the meaning of respecting the elderly has been added. On the Double Ninth Festival, people enjoy banquets and celebrations to express gratitude and respect the elderly. Climbing high to enjoy the autumn scenery and expressing gratitude and respecting the elderly are the two important themes of the Double Ninth Festival activities today.
