The Treaty of Sèvres (1920) aimed to carve up Anatolia among Allied powers\, threatening Turkish sovereignty. \nIn response\, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and fellow nationalists launched the Turkish War of Independence (1919–1922)\, fighting against occupying Greek\, British\, French\, and Armenian forces. \nAfter the victory in the War of Independence\, Atatürk and the Grand National Assembly sought to formally sever all ties with the Ottoman monarchy. \nOn October 29\, 1923\, the Turkish Grand National Assembly in Ankara proclaimed the Republic of Turkey\, abolished the Ottoman Sultanate (which had already been symbolically ended in 1922)\, and elected Mustafa Kemal Atatürk as the first President of the Republic. \nIn 1925\, Republic Day was officially declared a national holiday\, and October 29 became a symbol of Turkish independence and civic identity. Republic Day marks the historic shift from empire to republic on October 29\, 1923\, and celebrates the establishment of modern Turkey under Atatürk's leadership.

It is observed on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month\, a date considered auspicious yet potentially unstable according to ancient Chinese numerology. \nIn traditional cosmology\, the number nine (九) is a yang (陽) number\, symbolizing positive energy. Since the date has double yangs (九月九日)\, it was believed that this day carried an overabundance of yang energy\, requiring rituals to balance and ward off misfortune\, hence the name "Double Ninth". \nThe most famous legend associated with the festival is the Story of Huan Jing. According to folklore\, Huan Jing studied under a Taoist master who warned him that a calamity would strike his village on the ninth day of the ninth month. \nFollowing his teacher's advice\, Huan Jing took his family to high ground\, carrying chrysanthemum wine and dogwood leaves (both thought to repel evil). When they returned home\, they discovered that a plague had indeed struck and many had died — but his family was spared. From then on\, people began the custom of climbing hills and drinking chrysanthemum wine on that day to avoid disasters and bring longevity. \nOver time\, the festival evolved from a Taoist protective ritual into a day of ancestor veneration\, family unity and outdoor activity. During the Tang (618–907) and Song (960–1279) dynasties\, the practice of ascending mountains\, enjoying chrysanthemums and paying respects to ancestors became deeply ingrained in Chinese society. \nAs Chinese communities migrated southward\, the Chung Yeung Festival was brought to Hong Kong and has remained an important traditional holiday since the city's early days. The customs of grave-sweeping and hill-climbing fit naturally with Hong Kong's mountainous landscape and strong family traditions. \nThe Hong Kong SAR Government recognizes Chung Yeung Festival as a public holiday\, typically falling in October. It is a time for both spiritual reflection and leisure\, families gather for outings\, hiking\, or picnics after visiting graves. \nThe Chung Yeung Festival in Hong Kong\, rooted in ancient Chinese legend and Taoist beliefs\, has evolved into a day for honoring ancestors\, appreciating nature and promoting family unity.

Celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month\, the festival is named after the number nine (yang in Chinese cosmology)\, which symbolizes positive energy. Since the day is a "double yang" (ninth day of the ninth month)\, it was believed to possess strong yang energy that could cause imbalance and potential misfortune\, hence\, rituals to restore harmony were developed. \nThe festival's origins can be traced back to the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE). According to legend\, a man named Huan Jing was advised by an immortal to take his family to the mountains on the ninth day of the ninth month to avoid a deadly plague. When he returned\, he discovered that those who had stayed behind had perished. Since then\, climbing mountains during the festival became a custom believed to ward off evil and ensure safety. \nOver time\, the Chung Yeung Festival evolved to include ancestor worship\, tomb sweeping\, and family gatherings\, much like the Qingming Festival in spring. By the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE)\, it was recognized as an official imperial festival. \nIn Macau\, the festival carries both its traditional Chinese roots and local flavor. Families visit cemeteries to clean tombs and offer food\, incense\, and paper tributes\, while many take part in hikes up Guia Hill or Coloane Hill\, blending spiritual reverence with appreciation for nature. \nToday\, the Chung Yeung Festival in Macau symbolizes remembrance\, respect for ancestors\, and the pursuit of longevity and good fortune\, a day that unites past and present through reflection\, gratitude and renewal.
