Double 9 Day
Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:15 pm
Yesterday was "Double Ninth Festival" in Chinese culture. Did anybody do anything to celebrate it?
I was at the train station to meet my wife and saw many people launching red paper lanterns in a nearby park.
According to the wiki entry, one should "climb a high mountain, drink chrysanthemum wine, and wear the zhuyu (茱萸) plant."
I guess one could also watch Curse of the Golden Flower, which heavily features this holiday as part of its plot.
