Enjoying feasts to pray for longevity
The custom of enjoying a feast to pray for longevity on the Chongyang Festival has been recorded in some ancient works. It embodies people's wishes for the health and longevity of their elders and enjoys great popularity throughout the country. It is said that this custom developed from sacrificial banquets planned to celebrate the harvest. On the basis of offering sacrifices to heaven and one's ancestors, praying for longevity and having a feast were added to form the basis of the Chongyang Festival, which continue to this day.
