重阳节，是中国民间传统节日，

“九九”两阳数相重，故曰“重阳”
因日与月皆逢九，故又称为“重九”
重阳节的英文可以说成“Chong Yang Festival”，也可以按照粤语音译说成“”。由于重阳节在每年农历的九月初九，因此又被叫做“重九”，因此，英文中也有“Double Ninth Festival”的说法。

The "Chong Yang Festival" is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and it is as such known as the Double Ninth Festival. It began as early as the Warring States Period (475 - 221 BC).

According to the yin/yang dichotomy that forms a basis to the Chinese world view, yin represents the elements of darkness and yang represents life and brightness. The number nine is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth month is a double yang day, hence the name "Chong Yang Festival", (Chong means "repeat" in Chinese.)
根据汉中叶形成的儒家阴阳观，阴代表黑暗，阳代表生命与光明。，因《易经》中把“六”定为阴数，把“九”定为阳数。九月九日，日月并阳，两九相重，故而叫重阳，也叫重九(“重”在中文里的意思为“重复”)。
The ninth month also heralds the approach of winter. It is a time when the living need warm clothing, and filial Chinese sons and daughters extended this to make the festival a time for providing winter clothes for their ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival, therefore, also became an occasion to visit the graves of dead family members. Clothes made of paper would then be burnt as offerings.
