What other names does the Double Ninth Festival have?

The Double Ninth Festival is also known as the Senior's Day. Starting in the 1980s, some places in China designated the ninth day of the ninth lunar month as Senior's Day, advocating for a societal atmosphere that respects, honors, loves, and assists the elderly. The Chinese government established this day each year as "Senior's Day" and "Respect for the Elderly Day" in 1989. On December 28, 2012, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress passed the revised "Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly." The law clearly stipulates that the ninth day of the ninth lunar month each year is the Elderly Day.

The saying goes, "Good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already set, and the only thing one can truly grasp is their own "luck." Heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds, and people have unexpected misfortunes and blessings.
