農(nóng)歷九月初九為中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)的節(jié)日—重陽(yáng)節(jié)。慶祝重陽(yáng)節(jié)的活動(dòng)多彩而浪漫，包括登高遠(yuǎn)眺、觀賞菊花、遍插茱萸、吃重陽(yáng)糕等?！熬拧迸c漢字“久”同音，又是個(gè)位數(shù)字之最，因此寓意長(zhǎng)壽長(zhǎng)久。自古以來(lái)，有不少賀重陽(yáng)用菊花的詩(shī)詞佳作。人們還以為，登高可以驅(qū)除霉運(yùn)，意指“晉升高位”和“長(zhǎng)壽”。中國(guó)把九月九日定為老人節(jié)，傳統(tǒng)與現(xiàn)代巧妙地結(jié)合，使之成為一個(gè)尊老、敬老、助老的節(jié)日。
