The Chong Yang Festival (重阳节), also known as the Double Ninth Festival, is a traditional Chinese celebration that falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. In 2024, this auspicious festival is celebrated on 11 October, marking a celebration of abundance, prosperity, and longevity.

Significance of the Chong Yang Festival

Rooted in the ancient teachings of the I Ching and Taoist philosophy, the Chong Yang Festival also holds profound significance in Imperial Feng Shui, symbolising the perfect harmony between Heaven, Earth, and Man. The Chong Yang Festival dates back to the Warring States period (475–221 BC), originating as a day to ward off evil spirits and prevent disasters. Over time, it evolved into a celebration of good fortune, incorporating traditions that foster physical and spiritual well-being.

The Chong Yang Festival coincides with Qiufen (秋分), a solar term that marks the autumnal equinox and celebrates the prosperity of the harvest season. In ancient China, this festival was observed with grand harvest celebrations, including prayers to Heaven for continued abundance. Both the ruling elite and commoners participated in these rites, reflecting their reverence for nature’s bounty.

At the heart of these celebrations were the Feng Shan rites, conducted by emperors during their pilgrimage to Mount Tai, one of China’s most sacred mountains. These rites were performed to express gratitude to the Gods of Heaven and Earth. According to records from the Eastern Han dynasty, the emperor led prayers at the summit of Mount Tai, while also offering tributes at the mountain’s foot to honour the God of Earth. These ceremonies symbolised the emperor’s role in maintaining the balance between Heaven, Earth, and the people, a core principle of Imperial Feng Shui.

One of the notable customs surrounding the Chong Yang Festival is ascending to high places, a symbolic act that signifies rising above life’s challenges and achieving new heights in one’s career or personal growth. The Chinese idiom “步步高升” (rise higher with every step) captures this perfectly, encouraging individuals to aspire for continuous growth in their careers, business, and investment ventures.

Imperial Feng Shui Significance of Chong Yang

The name “Chong Yang” refers to the double presence of the number nine (九, “yang”) in the date, which is considered an especially powerful and auspicious number in Chinese numerology. Since yang represents masculinity, strength, and vitality, this festival emphasises enhancing energy, warding off negative influences, and fostering prosperity.

In Imperial Feng Shui, the Chong Yang Festival represents the ideal moment to harness benefactor support, wealth, and harmony. A well-known principle in Feng Shui states, “山管人丁，水管财” — Mountains govern benefactors, authority, and harmony, while Water governs wealth, opportunities, and intuition. The emphasis on mountains during Chong Yang aligns with this belief, highlighting their importance in shaping an individual’s destiny.
