《重陽節》（Double Ninth Festival），又稱重九節、曬秋節、“踏秋”，中國傳統節日。重陽節，為每年的農歷九月初九日，是中國傳統節日。“重陽”也叫“重九”，因為《易經》中把“九”定為陽數，九月九日，兩九相重，故曰“重陽”；九在數字中又是最大數，所以賦予有生命長久、健康長壽的寓意；古人認為重陽是一個值得慶賀的吉祥日子。古代民間在重陽節有登高祈福的習俗，慶祝重陽節一般包括登高、曬秋、賞菊等活動； 于重陽之日享宴高會（舉行敬老宴），感恩敬老。慶祝重陽節一般會包括出游賞秋、登高遠眺、觀賞菊花、遍插茱萸、吃重陽糕、飲菊花酒等活動。每年的農歷九月初九日，與除夕、清明節、中元節三節統稱中國傳統四大祭祖的節日。

采桑子·重陽

毛澤東 1929年10月

許淵沖 譯

Nature does not grow old as fast as man；

Each year the Double Ninth comes round.

And now the Double Ninth comes round.

How sweet are yellow flowers on the battleground.

See autumn reign with heavy winds once every year,

Unlike springtime.

Far more sublime,

The boundless sky and waters blend with endless rime.

人生易老天難老，歲歲重陽。今又重陽，戰地黃花分外香。

一年一度秋風勁，不似春光。勝似春光，寥廓江天萬里霜。
