Loving one’s parents

Filial piety lies insincerity instead of materials. To support and wait upon our parents, the best way is to do it appropriately rather than over-abundantly or extravagantly. It is great harm to our parents to celebrate their birthdays by killing numerous animals for feasts. Real love and piety for parents is spiritual concern and more company to converse with them to relieve them from uneasiness and worries.

Chung Yeung Festival,September the ninth on Chinese lunar calendar, is a traditional festival in our country. Chung Yeung, which is also called Double Ninth Festival, means literally “double nine”, a positive number in Chinese culture. It is also the largest number, implying long life and health.

Chung Yeung Festival was celebrated as early as during the Warring States Times and was appointed as a folk festival since Tang Dynasty. The festival includes such customs and activities as climbing mountains, going outing, appreciating chrysanthemums and so on. The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is later appointed as The Seniors’ Day in China, connoting respect for parents and the aged.
