Mid-Autumn Festival

One of the most important festivals is the Mid-Autumn Day.

Chine ancestors believed that the 7th,8th,and 9th lunar months

belong to autumn. So the Mid-Autumn Day falls on the 15th day

of the eighth lunar month.

In mid-autumn, farmers have just finished gathering their

crops and bringing in fruits from the orchards果园. Overjoyed狂

喜的 with the bumper丰富的 harvest, they feel quite relaxed after

a year's hard work. So the 15th of the eighth lunar month has

gradually evolved as成为 a widely celebrated festival for ordinary

people.

Night falls. The land is bathed in silver moonlight, as at this

time of the year the weather is usually fine and the sky usually

clear. Families t up tables in their courtyards 庭院or sit on their

balconies, chatting and sharing offerings祭品 to the moon.

Together they enjoy the enchanting迷人的 spell of night.

Naturally at this pleasant moment people are reminded of

beautiful legends about the moon. The most popular in China is

an ancient story telling how a girl named Chang'e flew to the

moon.

Long long ago， a terrible drought干旱plagued折磨；困扰

the land. Ten suns burned fiercely猛烈地 in the sky like

smoldering 情绪郁积的volcanoes火山. The land was parched烤,

and rivers went dry. Many people died of hunger and thirst. Then

there appeared a brave young man named Hou Yi who took out

his red bow and white arrows箭and shot down nine suns one

after another一个接一个的. The weather immediately turned

cooler and heavy rains filled the rivers with fresh water. Life was

restored恢复 on the earth and humanity was saved.

A beautiful girl cretly fell in love with the hero, who also

loved the sweet girl. Soon they got married.

Out of respect for what he had done for his people, the

goddess of the western sky rewarded the brave young man with

a special drink that could give its drinker eternal永恒的 life in the

heaven and made him an immortal being生命.

But an evil-minded person got to learn the cret and he

managed to kill the hero by a sudden attack. The murder done,

he ran to Chang'e who was waiting for the return of her husband

from hunting. The wicked邪-恶的 murderer谋杀者 forced强迫 the

wife to give him the drink. Without hesitation犹豫, the wife in

her desperation绝望的境地 took up the drink and drank it in one

gulp大口的.

Overcome with grief悲痛, the faithful忠诚wife rushed to the

dead body of her husband and wept bitterly悲痛地. But soon the

drink began to take effect and Chang'e felt herlf lifted up from

the ground towards heaven.

She had to live on the moon becau it is nearest to the earth

where her husband lay lifeless无生命的 and cold. She was alone

and sad, never able to get back to earth.

For thousands of years the Chine people have related涉及

the vicissitudes兴衰 of life to changes of the moon as it waxes渐

满 and wanes渐淡的: joy and sorrow, parting and reunion.

Becau the round, full moon is a symbol of reunion and

happiness, the mid-autumn day when the moon is at its fullest

and brightest is naturally taken as the festival. In the Chine

written language, the word圆满(pronounced as "yuan man")

means round and full literally字面上地, and metaphorically 暗喻

it suggests family reunion and perfection 完美of life in the world.

Every family would try to enjoy a happy reunion of its members

in hoping for a more perfect life in future. Tho who cannot

return home on this day to watch the bright moon together with

their dear ones always feel deep longing for their family. One of

the most famous poets in the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, expresd his

longing for home place

in a short poem that has become known even to three-year-

old kids for thousands of years. It runs like this:

Before my bed shine bright the silver moon beams,

It ems autumn frost on the chamber floor gleams.

Gazing up toward the full moon in the night skies,

I can't but lower my head as homesickness乡愁 does ari上

升.

Today festivities欢宴，庆典 centered about the Mid-Autumn

Day are more varied. After a family reunion dinner, many people

like to go out to attend special performances in parks or on

public squares. Some groups or clubs of retired people would

hold gatherings or parties for appreciation of the moonlight.

Among all the ways to celebrate this particular occasion, one

traditional custom has definitely remained unchanged and is

shared by almost every Chine. That is eating a special kind of

food: moon-cakes. Most of the cakes are made in a round

shape, again a symbol of the full moon. There are a number of

fillings wrapped缠绕，包裹 inside the cakes, so it's also a golden

time for markets and department stores to ll the special

cakes to citizens市民 before and during the festival. They are

really delicious, and it's not uncommon for people to nd moon-

cakes to friends and relatives as Mid-Autumn gifts. While eating

the tasty moon-cakes and gazing at the bright moon in the night

sky, people feel sweet and happy at heart.

中秋节的来历、中秋节的简介（英语）

"Zhong Qiu Jie", which is also known as the Mid-Autumn

Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the

lunar calendar. It is a time for family members and loved ones to

congregate and enjoy the full moon - an auspicious symbol of

abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in

fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping

hot Chine tea, while the little ones run around with their

brightly-lit lanterns.

"Zhong Qiu Jie" probably began as a harvest festival. The

festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of

Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.

According to Chine mythology, the earth once had 10 suns

circling over it. One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching

the earth with their heat. The earth was saved when a strong

archer, Hou Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns. Yi stole

the elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule, but

his wife, Chang-E drank it. Thus started the legend of the lady in

the moon to whom young Chine girls would pray at the Mid-

Autumn Festival.

In the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at "Zhong Qiu

Jie" was given a new significance. The story goes that when Zhu

Yuan Zhang was plotting to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty started

by the Mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the Mid-

Autumn mooncakes. Zhong Qiu Jie is hence also a

commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han

people.

During the Yuan Dynasty (A.D.1206-1368) China was ruled by

the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Sung

Dynasty(A.D.960-1279) were unhappy at submitting to foreign

rule, and t how to coordinate the rebellion without it being

discovered. The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon

Festival was drawing near, ordered the ma-ki-ng of special cakes.

Packed into each mooncake was a message with the outline of

the attack. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels

successfully attacked and overthrew the government. What

followed was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368-

1644). Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.

Mid-Autumn Day is a traditional festival in China. Almost

everyone likes to eat mooncakes on that day. Most families have

a dinner together to celebrate the festival. A saying goes, "The

moon in your hometown is almost always the brightest and

roundest". Many people who live far away from homes want to

go back to have a family reunion. How happy it is to enjoy the

moon cakes while watching the full moon with your family

members.

中秋节专题—中秋八月,月圆情浓

：写在前面

明月几时有？把酒问青天。

不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年？

我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，

高处不胜寒！起舞弄清影，何似在人间？

转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。

不应有恨，何事长向别时圆？

人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。

但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

流年似水，就在恍惚的一瞬间又是中秋，夜风习习，皓月当空，

中秋八月，月圆情浓。

朋友,不管你现在身处何方,不要再忽略那已被你遗忘已久的月亮,放

飞思绪，让我们的'心灵在想往的天空深情交汇，构筑一片美丽多姿的

风景，然后，一起慢慢感受天空下那丝丝缕缕纠缠环绕的暖暖的阳光。

许个愿吧，或许会实现呢!中秋快乐!

：中秋节诗歌(1)

Thinking of You 水调歌头

When will the moon be clear and bright?

With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.

I don't know what ason it would be in the heavens on this

night.

I'd like to ride the wind to fly home.

Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high

and cold for me.

Dancing with my moon-lit shadow,

It does not em like the human world.

The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors,

Shines upon the sleepless Bearing no grudge,

Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?

People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart,

The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane,

This has been going on since the beginning of time.

May we all be blesd with longevity Though far apart, we

are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.

--Read by Yun Feng

水调歌头

明月几时有，把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。

我欲乘风归去, 又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒，起舞弄清影，何似在

人间。

转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。不应有恨，何事长向别时圆。

人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里

共婵娟。

--苏轼
