Double Ninth Festival.
履
In ancient times.Chinese people regarded odd numbers 2.
yang (positive or masculine
energy),and even numbers as yin(negative or feminine energy).In the I Ching(Book of Changes),the
number nine is seen as the 3.
(high)yang number.On this day,both the month and the
韵
day are 4.
ninth,hence the name“Chongyang'”,meaning“Double Yang'”.The day
carries the auspicious sense of yang energy at its peak.
华
The pronunciation of "double ninth"(jiu jiu)also 5.
(resemble)the word for
"long-lasting"in Chinese,symbolizing longevity and good health.Thus,the Chongyang Festival has
long been celebrated as a day of 6.
(bless)and good fortune.
(tradition),people believed that climbing to a high place on this day could dispel
misfortune and bring peace and longevity.Customs such as mountain climbing,drinking chrysanthemum tea
and enjoying autumn scenery gradually 8.

also came to embody the values of respect and gratitude toward the elderly,with filial piety and family
togetherness 9.

From the number nine to the 10.
(symbol)“double ninth”,and from auspicious meaning
to heartfelt traditions,the Chongyang Festival reflects the Chinese way of expressing blessings and affection
through numbers and festivals.
Humanoid Robots Race Humans in China Half-Marathon

人形机器人半程马拉松与人类同场竞技
Adapted from China Daily
统
Running a half-marathon isn't easy,especially as you get closer to the finish when everything
(hurt)-your legs,lungs,chest and feet feel every one of those 21.1 kilometers.
化
However fast or slow you run,you'll always feel something in your body-unless you're a robot,that
型
is.That 2.
(put)to the test in China,when 21 humanoid robots took part in a half-
marathon alongside human competitors.Organizers said it was a world first,with bipedal robots-
robots with two legs-3.
(compete)in the Yizhuang half-marathon in Beijing.
代
The first robot 4.
(finish)took two hours and 40 minutes,which was more than twice
as long as the male winner of the race,5.
finished in 62 minutes.The robots weren't left to
风
fend completely for 6.
(they)-they were supported by teams of human 7.
(navigate),operators and engineers.As a precaution,a divider separated the parallel courses used by the
robots and people.The rules for the robots were also slightly different:they were allowed to take breaks to
swap batteries-something human runners would 8.
(sure)have loved to do too!
The Sky Project Ultra robot from the Tien Kung Team claimed victory among the nonhumans.But some
of the robots had a hard time.According to the BBC.one robot fell at the start line and lay on its front for a
few minutes 9.
eventually beginning its race.Another crashed into a railing not long into the
race,causing its human helper to fall to the ground.Engineers said that 10.
winning robot
was helped by having long legs,while it was also programmed with an algorithm that was designed to help it
run a long-distance race like a human.The human world record isn't under threat just yet,but engineers
across the world continue to experiment!
