重九Double Ninth Festival

九九重阳敬老节 气澈日月依辰至 桌上不见重阳糕 无人共醉菊花酒 秋菊今日几花开 登高望远自怡悦 纸鹞空飞断牵挂 人近暮年当自安 The Double Ninth Festival, a day to honor the elderly, arrives with clear skies and the sun and moon shining brightly. No Double Ninth cakes are on the table, and no one shares chrysanthemum wine with me. How many chrysanthemums bloom today? Climbing high and gazing afar brings joy. Paper kites fly empty, severing all ties. As one approaches old age, one should find peace.
