+ 加入清单Today is the Mid Autumn Festival. I go to enjoy the moon with my father and mother.
We went downstairs and didnt see the moon. We walked forward again. When we came to the open area by the road, we looked east. A golden full moon appeared in the dark blue sky. It turned out that the building had covered the full moon just now. Walking along the road and looking east, the trees beside the moonlight cup road were divided into many, many small fragments, like many glittering little stars.
We came to the open field and looked up at the dark blue night. There were several not very bright stars. I asked my father curiously, "Why are there so few stars?" Dad smiled and said, "have you ever heard of bright moon and few stars? The moon is too bright tonight, so some stars cant be seen if the brightness is not strong. " In the grass beside the road, several fireflies were flying around with lanterns. Looking up at the moon, the moon became smaller, whiter and taller, like a big jade plate. At this time, I thought of the ancient poem "hours dont know the moon, call it a white jade plate". Its really like it!
Late at night, we went home, and the moon followed us, as if reluctant to go home with us. I said loudly to the moon, "Ill see you again next Mid Autumn Festival!"

+ 加入清单The Mid-Autumn Festival has all interesting history. Long ago in one of the
dynasties of China there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not
manage the country well. The people were so angry that some brave ones suggested
killing the king. So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time
and put them into cakes.
On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the
cakes. When they ate them they discovered the notes. So they gathered together
to make a sudden attack on the king. From then on the Chinese people celebrate
on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat moon cakes in memory of that
important event.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival is near, shop windows are beautifully
decorated. Many moon cakes are displayed for people to buy. People send presents
such aswine, fruits and moon cakes to their friends and relatives. In the
evening of the day, they have a feast. After the feast, they go out to the
garden to look at the moon. The children run and laugh on the streets.
It is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. Many poems
have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing
such poems. In Chinese literature, the moon of the Mid Autumn Festival has been
compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. It seems that Chinese
literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.

+ 加入清单I heard that on August 15, the clouds covered the moon. Sure enough, the dark clouds covered the shining moon, but the flaws did not hide the jade. The silver moon shone on the earth through the crack of the black cloud, and the edge of the black cloud also flashed light, like ten thousand steel needles trying to pierce the darkness.
I thought I couldnt see the moon, but I didnt expect that before long, the moon came out again. The moon is round and big, like a jade plate carved from white jade, which makes me ecstatic. The closing of the moon and the shame of flowers; The posture of sinking fish and falling geese makes me have to clap my hands and praise.
I love the moon and the stars. The moon is noble and elegant, and the stars are all over the sky.
The autumn wind blows my face. I stand under the night sky. My mood is indescribable: some surging in calm, a little sad in joy, and thousands of thoughts linger in my heart.
I stood silently, clasped my hands and made a wish to the moon, hoping that the wish in my heart could be heard by Sister Moon. Maybe some people think Im stupid, but in such a moonlit night, I have to admit that Im cute, right?
The full moon, the lack of moon, the sunny moon and the overcast moon are all unique flavors. I like the rhyme of the moon!

+ 加入清单In China Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion. On this day all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this special occasion. Last year I could not celebrate the festival with my family because I was in university. However this special day left a deep impression on me.
I still remember the atmosphere of that evening. All the students who could not go back home assembled in our classroom having a party to celebrate this traditional festival. We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm. As an ethnic minority I performed a peacock dance which received warm applause. After the two-hour party we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day. We ate moon cakes played cards and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our classmates. In that harmonious atmosphere nobody felt lonely or homesick even though we were far away from our homes.
Thanks to our classmates I experienced such a colorful and interesting Mid-autumn Day at my university. Thus I learned to value all the festivals I spent during my university life.

+ 加入清单The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar (usually around mid- or late-September in the Gregorian Calendar), a date that parallels the Autumn Equinox of the solar calendar. At this time, the moon is at its fullest and brightest, marking an ideal time to celebrate the abundance of the summers harvest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the two most important holidays in the Chinese calendar (the other being the Chinese Lunar New Year), and is a legal holiday in several countries. Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally, on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together. It is also common to have barbecues outside under the moon, and to put pomelo rinds on ones head. Brightly lit lanterns are often carried around by children. Together with the celebration, there appear some special customs in different parts of the country, such as burning incense, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting lanterns on towers, and fire dragon dances. Shops selling mooncakes, before the festival, often display pictures of Change, floating to the moon.
Mooncake is often eaten during the festival.Typical mooncakes are round or rectangular pastries, measuring about 10 cm in diameter and 4-5 cm thick. A thick pasty filling is surrounded by a relatively thin (2-3 mm) crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs. Mooncakes are rich, heavy, and dense compared with most Western cakes and pastries. They are usually eaten in small wedges accompanied by Chinese tea.

+ 加入清单the mid-autumn or moon festival is one rich in poetic(诗意的) significance. ancient legends(古代的传说) that became interwoven with this festival‘s celebration further contribute to the warm regard in which it has always been held by the chinese people. according to the lunar calendar(农历)， the seventh， eighth， and ninth months constitute the autumn season. mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month， precisely in the middle of this season， when the heat of the summer has given way to cool autumn weather， marked by blue skies and gentle breezes. on this day the moon is at its greatest distance from the earth; at no other time is it so luminous. then， as the chinese say， “the moon is perfectly round.” in the villages the heavy work involved in the summer harvest has already been completed but the autumn harvest has not yet arrived.
the actual origins of the mid-autumn festival are still very unclear. the earliest records are from the time of the great han dynasty emperor wu di (156-87 b.c.)， who initiated celebrations lasting three days， including banquets and “viewing the moon” evenings on the toad terrace. we know that people during the jin dynasty (265-420 a.d.) continued the custom of mid-autumn festival celebrations， and similar accounts have come down to us from the time of the tang dynasty. during the ming dynasty (1368-1644) houses and gardens were decorated with numerous lanterns and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air.(qiewo.com)
moon cakes came on sale shortly before festival time. in the past， one could get some cakes shaped like pagodas， others like a horse and rider， fish or animals. still others were decorated with the images of rabbits， flowers， or goddesses. there were a myriad of different fillings available： sugar， melon seeds， almonds， orange peel， sweetened cassia blossom， or bits of ham and preserved beef. the cakes are of the northern and southern styles， but the latter (also called guangdong-style) are the most popular and are available throughout the country.
the round shape of cakes just symbolizes not only the moon but also the unity of the family. therefore the mid-autumn festival is actually a day for family reunion.

Chusok ("fall evening") is a Korean "Harvest Moon" (Han-gawi) festival set
on the 15th day of the eighth lunar moon. Chusok (韩国中秋节)， also known as the
Korean Thanksgiving or Mid-Autumn Festival， is one of the most celebrated Korean
holidays. It occurs during the harvest season. Thus， Korean families take this
time to thank their ancestors for providing them with rice and fruits.
The celebration starts on the night before Chusok and ends on the day after
the holiday. Thus， many Korean families take three days off from work to get
together with family and friends.
The celebration starts with a family get-together at which rice cakes
called "Songphyun" (蒸糕) are served. These special rice cakes are made of rice，
beans， sesame seeds， and chestnuts. Then the family pays respect to ancestors by
visiting their tombs and offering them rice and fruits. The Koreans visit the
graves of their ancestors to bow and clean the area for the coming winter. In
the evening， children wear their favorite hanbok (traditional Korean clothing)
and dance under the bright moon in a large circle. They play games and sing
songs. Like the American Thanksgiving， Chusok is the time to celebrate the
family and give thanks for their blessings.
Community activities include masked dance， Kanggangsuwollae， an ancient
circle dance， tug-of-wars and the tortoise game， kobuk-nori (乌龟游戏)， in which two
men dress as a tortoise and tour the village dancing and performing for food and
drink. Most of all， Chusok is a time to give thanks for the autumn harvest and
reaffirm familial and community ties.
