【翻译原文】
　　每年的农历九月初九是中国的传统节日重阳节(the DoubleNinth Festival)。重阳节有2000多年的历史，早在唐朝时期就正式被定为民间节日。皇帝和百姓， 都根据礼仪和风俗庆祝重阳节。随着时间的流逝，重阳节逐渐形成一些庆祝习 俗，如出游、登高、插茱萸(cornel)。重阳节那天，全家人通常一起庆祝节日，而离家的人则会倍加思乡。汉族的传统观念认为，数字9代表健康长寿，因此中国政府 于1989年将农历九月初九定为“老人节。

With a history of more than 2,000 years，theDouble Ninth Festival was formally set down as a folkfestival as early as the Tang Dynasty; and both theemperors and civilians alike celebrated the festival following the etiquette and customs. Astime goes by, the Double Ninth Festival has gradually formed the celebrating conventions ofgoing on a journey, ascending a height and wearing cornels. On that day, the whole family willalways gather to spend the festival together, while those far from their homes will becomemore homesick. As the figure “9” represents longevity and health in the traditional conceptof Han people, the Chinese government set September 9th on lunar calendar as “the Seniors'Day” in 1989.
