Ascending a Height 登高

重阳节最重要的活动之一，即是登高。所以重阳节又叫“登高节”。登高所到之处，一般是登高山、登高塔。
Ascending a height is one of the most important activities on the Double Ninth Festival, so the Double Ninth Festival is also known as the “Height Ascending Festival”. People usually ascend to a height like a mountain or a high tower.
重阳登高源于中国古代的狩猎活动，后来逐渐演变成一种娱乐活动，于是就出现了重阳节期间登高聚会、宴饮等娱乐活动，活跃了节日气氛。
The custome of ascending a height on the Double Ninth Festival originated from hunting activities in ancient China, and gradually developed into a kind of recreational activity. Thus, there are the recreational activities including height ascending parties and dinner, etc. to celebrate the festival.
重阳节正值秋季，此时天高云淡，风清气爽，丹桂飘香，这时登高远眺，一切景象尽收眼底，是一件身心愉悦的美事。
The Double Ninth Festival falls in autumn when the sky is high, the clouds are pale, the breeze is light, the air is clear, and the heady fragrance of laurel blossoms wafts through the fresh air. It is a pleasing thing that brings emotional and physical benefits with ascending a height to look far into the distance and commanding a panoramic view.
