Drink chrysanthemum wine

On the Double Ninth Festival, people will pick chrysanthemums to make tea and wine.

Chrysanthemum has the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and dispelling plague in China traditional culture, so people also use chrysanthemum to exorcise evil spirits and pray.

Nowadays, respecting the elderly has become the core connotation of the Double Ninth Festival. In addition to going home to visit parents and elders, there is also respect and care for them.

Many young people will accompany the elderly to climb mountains and enjoy autumn in the Double Ninth Festival.

At this time, a pair of qualified healthy shoes can not only make the elderly climb easily, but also relieve the pressure on their feet and prevent accidents.

With the growth of age, our feet will gradually show signs of aging, such as muscle atrophy, arch collapse, foot joint relaxation, plantar fat thinning, toe deformity and so on.

It can be seen that a pair of healthy shoes with more characteristics than ordinary shoes is more in line with the requirements of the elderly for shoes.

"A stranger in a foreign land misses his family on holidays. I know from a distance where my brother climbed, and there is one person missing from the dogwood. "

In the pen of the poet Wang Wei, we can see the deep sorrow for our loved ones. No matter how far away, I want to convey that concern and miss to the people I love.

? In the past, it was difficult to convey the thoughts of the Double Ninth Festival over a long distance.

? Now this miss can be sent thousands of miles away.

Zukang scientific and technological health shoes are the innovation of science and technology and the inheritance of China's traditional "home" thought. A comfortable choice for the younger generation to show their love and care to their elders.

I hope everyone can seize the opportunity of the Double Ninth Festival to accompany their families and pass on your's love.
