Here is an often quoted poem about Double Ninth Festival.
《九月九日憶山東兄弟》 王維
獨在異鄉為異客,
每逢佳節倍思親,
遙知兄弟登高處,
遍插茱萸少一人。
Double Ninth, Missing My Shantong Brothers
- Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
Alone, a stranger in a strange land,
Every holiday the homesickness doubles.
Far away my brothers have sent word:
They have gathered on mountain tops,
They are going around inserting zhuyi branches,
They are missing one person.
