Double Nine Day 'Chong Yang Jie' is a memorable holiday in China based on the Chinese/lunar calendar. Ancient Chinese regarded the largest single digit as the ultimate number and therefore, symbolic of the supreme sovereignty of the emperor. On this day Chinese respect their elders, plant chrysanthemums or drink chrysanthemum wine or tea, climb a hill or mountain.
