What is the significance of the Elderly Day?The History of the Double Ninth Festival1. The Double Ninth Festival was formed as early as the Warring States Period. In the Tang Dynasty, the Double Ninth Festival was officially designated as a folk festival and has been passed down from dynasty to dynasty since then.2. The Double Ninth Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. “Jiujiu” has the same pronunciation as “long”, which means “long”. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is given the meaning of longevity and becomes a festival to bless the elderly. 3. In order to advocate the culture of respecting, honoring, loving and helping the elderly in the whole society, the Double Ninth Festival was officially designated as Senior Citizens' Day in 1989. This is a new expression of the Double Ninth Festival in China in the new era. 4. On December 28, 2012, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China voted to pass the newly revised "Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly". The law clearly states that the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar every year is Senior Citizens' Day. The significance of Elderly Day1. The country has designated the Double Ninth Festival as Senior Citizens' Day and promulgated the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, which reflects the government's care for the elderly and its admiration for the virtue of respecting the elderly. Especially with the arrival of an aging society, a series of policies and measures have been formulated and implemented to promote the development of social pension services, which further demonstrates the country's responsibility for caring for, respecting and being filial to the elderly.2. Every day is the "Double Ninth Festival", and every day is a day for filial piety. Filial piety becomes a consensus and common consciousness for everyone, and respect for the elderly becomes the norm and common action in society. It is not only for the well-being of the elderly, but also a reflection of civilization and progress, and it is the connotation and value of the Double Ninth Festival. 3. The significance of the Double Ninth Festival has been shifted from our ancestors to today’s people, and from history to the present. The Double Ninth Festival has become a festival for the elderly to respect the elderly. It is a kind of inheritance of "respecting, honoring and loving the elderly", and it is also a way to maximize the deep connotation of the Double Ninth Festival. In short, the Double Ninth Festival is a traditional festival, but its significance is eternal. |
