《九月九日忆山东兄弟》
　　唐 王维

　　独在异乡为异客，
　　每逢佳节倍思亲。
　　遥知兄弟登高处，
　　遍插茱萸少一人。

Thank you for teaching those of us who didn't know about the Double Ninth Festival.

I love how the day brings both the young and the old together.


China is such a beautiful country with much respect for each other, and for tradition.
