Why is Double Ninth Festival also Senior Citizens’ Day?

In the minds of the Chinese people, the number nine has a long-lasting meaning. It is generally believed that the reason why the Double Ninth Festival is designated as the Senior Citizens' Day is because Chinese people seek good luck and believe that the number "99" means a long time.
In addition, nine is the largest number, so September 9th is given the meaning of "longevity". As this concept spread, the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th gradually became known as the Elderly Day.

Another reason is that in ancient times there was a saying that Chongyang Festival was a time to pray for longevity. There is a record in "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" of the Han Dynasty: On September 9th, people wear dogwood, eat puffball, and drink chrysanthemum wine, which is said to make people live longer.
In other words, as early as the Han Dynasty people had given September 9 the meaning of longevity. The ancients believed that the changing seasons of nature correspond to a person’s life, and the Double Ninth Festival in late autumn corresponds to the old age when physical strength declines.
Therefore, on this day, the elderly must pray for longevity by climbing high places, drinking chrysanthemum wine, etc.

Feng Shui ceremony for the start of renovation:

1. Prepare materials for worship. Some places prepare home-cooked dishes, wine, candles, paper money, etc., while others prepare fruits, tea, rice, beans, etc.
2. The altar is set up at the back of the house for worship, lighting incense and candles, and burning paper money after worship.
3. After the worship ceremony is completed, shout auspicious words such as "Good luck in starting a new business" and "Safe and smooth"
4. Clean the room and sweep the dirt out of the door
5. Post a red note wishing good luck in the new business in the room and other places, and put some coins in the corners of the house.
