19、gue 2Mr. Gao Yuan is heading for Mt. Huashan with the tourists on the coach. They continue to talk about the customs of double ninth festival. Mr. Gao, can you tell me why people carry a spray of dogwood with them when they hike in the mountain? To be frank with you, its hard to explain the reason,
20、but there is a story about the custom. A legend has that in ancient times, a young man named Huan Jing climbed the mountain with a Taoist on the ninth day of the ninth month. The Taoist suddenly told him to put a spray of dogwood in a red bag, leave home quickly and climb to the top of a mountain. H
21、e was also advised to drink some chrysanthemum wine. What happened? Huan Jing rushed home and asked his family to do exactly as the Taoist said. The whole family climbed a mountain nearby and did not return until the evening. They survived the earthquake and had a narrow escape. And so it happened t
22、hat climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood and drinking chrysanthemum wine became the traditional activities of the Double Ninth Festival. But what about those people who live in flat regions far from any mountains? They go for a picnic and eat cakes instead. The Chinese word for cake is G
23、ao, a homonym of the Chinese word for high. Mountains are high, so eating cake can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb. You Chinese are romantic, too. Yes, we are. The Chinese are not only romantic, but also filial to our parents. Since nine is the highest odd digit
24、, people take two of them together to signify longevity. Therefore, the ninth day of the ninth month has become a special day for people to pay their respects to the elderly and a day for the elderly to enjoy themselves. It has also been declared chinas day for the elderlyold men festival. Today is
25、really a special day. Its worth climbing Mt. Huashan on such a significant occasion. Thank you. Everybody! It will take us one hour to arrive at the foot of Mt. Huashan. Please have a rest.
