TheDragonBoatFestivaloccurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period. As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).

Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperors favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江) in the Hunan Province(湖南省).

Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.

Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the peoples attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork.

Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.

To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.

Ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.

The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage

1、Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other

outdoor activities.

the mid—autumn is a very important chinese festival。 it falls on the 15th day of august。 a few days before the festival， everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful。 lanterns will be hung in front of the house。

on the evening there will be a big family dinner。 people who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the union。 after dinner， people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round。 children will play with their own toy lanterns happily。

at night the moon is usually round and bright。 people can enjoy the moon while eating moon—cakes which are the special food for this festival。 they can look back on the past and look forward to the future together。 it is said that there was a dragon in the sky。 the dragon wanted to swallow up the moon。 to protect the frighten the dragon away。

I think Mid—Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody likes it because its a family get—together。 You see it is calledMid—Autumn Day， so it often comes in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month。 Now， lets say something about this interesting festival。

Firstly， Id like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round， big， just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon， I will remember the ancient mythsthe godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrongs first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai—wan island， in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much， too。

Secondly， I11 say something about the tradition on Mid—Autumn Day。 Look！Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami—ly。 All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world。

Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid—Autumn Day。 My wishes are： the first， I， an astronaut in the future， would like to go to the moon one day， and stay with the sky and stars; the second， I hope every person in the world will stay with family， share love from the family forever; the third， I hope everybodys dream will come true。

Spring Festival is my favorite among all the Chinese traditional festival.

The first reason why I love it the most is because I can get lucky money on that

festival. It is the Chinese custom that the old will give children lucky money

on Spring Festival to wish a good luck for the young generation. Moreover,

people everywhere on those days are full of happiness. Quarrel, fight and abuse

are almost disappeared at that time. Meanwhile, my mother will make a big meal

for us to celebrate. Everyone will forget the unhappy thing they meet, instead

remembering to appreciate life to wish a better future. That is my favorite

festival.

桂魄飞来光射处，冷浸一天秋碧。玉宇琼楼，乘鸾来去，人在清凉国。——苏轼《念奴娇·中秋》

中秋的夜，将幽暗的曲调献给敦厚的大地。天，深蓝的带上一丝懒惰的灰黑，让密布的星辰随之而颤动。一方四角天空，一块能遮住脸颊光辉的月饼，恰巧容下了少年那颗憧憬而又懵懵懂懂的心。

这，已是龆年古事。回首来，光阴荏苒，时间，不过弹指挥手间的霎那。

看着冰轮遥挂在墨色的天空，孩提时代的剪影渐渐被今夜的中秋佳节刻画的愈加清晰。脑海中竟涌现出另一轮明月，那段已经被深深沉淀的岁月。

儿时的天，是一眼望不到的幽邃与明澈，星星俏皮地眨着眼，仿佛每一颗都透露着如阿波罗一般渊深的智慧。那时，天是无尽宇宙的全部，也是无尽期盼的少年的心。

在那时看着幽夜空明，品着酥香的月饼，眼中流溢出对天空月的陶醉，对星辰漫天的热爱。而如今，月还是月，天，还是那片天。只不过，岁月的雾霾遮掩住了原来那片干净的天空，看不到了繁密的的星辰，仅仅只留下茕然一身的月影、稀落的孤星。我不禁自问：那片原本的夜空到底是谁偷去了呢?

天将今夜月，一遍洗寰瀛。这是唐朝刘禹锡作的一首《八月十五夜玩月》。但现在似乎已经体会不到那种意境了。遥看天空！你会发现只剩孑然。

或许，时代变迁，科技高速发展的的代价便是如此吧！

秋月凄凄，那光辉看得人煞是心疼。最终云雾还是遮住了它，那最后的芒线像一个身陷绝境的无助少女一般……

低头沉吟，我自问：这还是原来的中秋节吗？

五一劳动节来了，又是我的倒霉日子了。妈妈再三再四的跟我说：“劳动节你应该劳动劳动，不要在家里捣乱。”

而我却不把这件事当回事，到处在家里打打闹闹。妈妈看见了，大声叫道：‘’你别在这儿捣乱了，给我扫地去!‘’于是我就漫不经心地扫起地来，我左挥一下右挥一下，不一会儿就跟我妈妈说到我扫完了。妈妈看见了地上的灰尘，生气的批评道：“你还是这个样子，做什么事都不用心。你还是洗衣服吧!”我心里疑惑不解：“干吗总让我做家务?算了，算了，不就是洗衣服么，洗完就可以了。”我同样是漫不经心的洗起来，衣服真脏啊!洗洗就差不多了。真是累死我了!

妈妈又看见衣服上的污渍做一块有一块，垂头丧气的说：“你还是改不了这个坏毛病，算了，你玩儿你的去吧!”“坏毛病?有吗?”我反复思考起来，恍然大悟起来，原来这些活妈妈每天都做，而且一声苦都没喊，我这么长时间才做一次，就叫苦连天。妈妈真是辛苦啊!

The Spring Festival is my most favorite festival, because it’s time for family gathering. And the Spring Festival is a new start of a year. It brings me hope and courage. On Spring Festival, my parents usually take me back to my hometown. My hometown is a small town. Many of my relatives move to the larger cities, but we usually go home when the Spring Festival comes. During the gathering, we share our lives with others and care about each other. Of course, big meals are necessary. Families prepare for the big meals together. They all cook their specialty dishes. Therefore, our meals are always delicious. We often stay at home for three days and then we leave with others’ wishes. I like the Spring Festival, because I like family gathering.

春节是我最喜欢的节日，因为它是家人团聚的日子。春节也是一年中新的开始，它带给我希望和勇气。在春节这一天，我父母经常带我回老家。我的老家是一个小镇。我很多亲戚都搬到大城市去了，但是春节的时候我们经常回老家。团聚之时，我们相互分享各自的生活，互相关心。当然，大餐是少不了的。全家人一起准备丰盛的晚餐。他们都煮自己擅长的菜。所以，我们的晚餐总是很美味。我们通常在家一起待上三天，然后带着各自的祝福离开。我喜欢春节，因为我喜欢家人团聚。

2013年9月19日，是中秋节，我在家里过中秋，赏月。有很多人一定想知道中秋节有什么来历吧，我来告诉你们。

中秋节，顾名思义，“中秋”一词，最早见于《周礼》。根据我国古代历法，农历八月十五日，在一年秋季的八月中旬，故称“中秋”。一年有四季，每季又分孟、仲、季三部分，因此秋中第二月叫仲秋，到唐朝初年，中秋节才成为固定的节日。《新唐书·卷十五志第五·礼乐五》载“其中春、中秋释奠于文宣王、武成王”，及“开元十九年，始置太公尚父庙，以留侯张良配。中春、中秋上戊祭之，牲、乐之制如文”。据史籍记载，古代帝王祭月的节期为农历八月十五，时日恰逢三秋之半，故名“中秋节”;又因为这个节日在秋季八月，故又称“秋节”、“八月节”、“八月会”、“中秋节”;又有祈求团圆的信仰和相关习俗活动，故亦称“团圆节”、“女儿节”。因中秋节的主要活动都是围绕“月”进行的，所以又俗称“月节”、“月夕”、“追月节”、“玩月节”、“拜月节”;在唐朝，中秋节还被称为“端正月”。中秋节的盛行始于宋朝，至明清时，已与元旦齐名，成为我国的主要节日之一。关于中秋节的起源，大致有三种：起源于古代对月的崇拜、月下歌舞觅偶的习俗，古代秋报拜土地神的遗俗。

中秋节一定要吃什么?大家一定知道，当然是月饼。中秋节美食首推月饼，其起源说法多种。月饼，最初起源于唐朝军队祝捷食品。唐高祖年间，大将军李靖征讨突厥靠月饼隐蔽的传话得胜，八月十五凯旋而归，此后，吃月饼成为每年的习俗。当时有经商的吐鲁番人向唐朝皇帝献饼祝捷。高祖李渊接过华丽的饼盒，拿出圆饼，笑指空中明月说：“应将胡饼邀蟾蜍”。说完把饼分给群臣一起吃。吃月饼以示“团圆”。月饼，又叫胡饼、宫饼、月团、丰收饼、团圆饼等，是古代中秋祭拜月神的供品。相传我国古代，帝王就有春天祭日、秋天祭月的礼制。在民间，每逢八月中秋，也有左右拜月或祭月的风俗。“八月十五月儿圆，中秋月饼香又甜”，这句名谚道出中秋之夜城乡人民吃月饼的习俗。月饼最初是用来祭奉月神的祭品，后来人们逐渐把中秋赏月与品尝月饼，作为家人团圆的一大象征，慢慢的，月饼也就成为了节日的必备礼品。

The Mid-Autumn Festival The Mid-Autumn is a very important Chinese festival. It falls on the 15th day of August. A few days before the festival， everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful. Lanterns will be hung in front of the house.

They can look back on the past and look forward to the future together. It is said that there was a dragon in the sky. The dragon wanted to swallow up the moon.

中秋节是中国一个很重要的节日，在八月十五号。在节日来临的前几天，家庭中的每一个人都帮着打扫房子，把房子装扮得漂漂亮亮的，灯笼挂在屋前。

晚上有一顿美餐，离家在外工作的人也要回来团圆。晚饭后，人们点亮灯笼，一般是红色的圆灯笼。孩子们会高高兴兴地玩他们的玩具灯笼。

晚上月亮又圆又大，人们在赏月的同时吃着中秋节特别的食品——月饼。人们在一起回顾过去，展望未来。据说天上有一条龙，它要把月亮吞下去。为了保护月亮，孩子们要弄出很大的响动把龙吓跑。

中秋是人们团圆的日子，我们一家三口团聚在一起共度中秋佳节。

夜幕悄悄降临，天空渐渐地换上了黑色的幕布，明月安详地挂在空中，将那银白色的光芒静静地撒向大地，地面上像撒了一层白银。我们端着月饼走出家门，瞧，那月儿多羞涩呀，将周围的云雾当做面纱来遮住圆圆的脸蛋，但却盖不住她那皎洁的月光，银色的光芒将她的面纱照得亮银银的。渐渐的，明月姑娘将她的面纱一点一点地揭开：先是半圆，再是大半圆，最后，一张既亮又圆的月亮映入我们的眼帘，只见她的周围散发着银白色的光芒，像镀了一层白银，真是美丽动人。

我们一口一口地品尝着手中的月饼，但这做工精细的月饼在我的口中却显得无滋无味，因为此时我想起了我的外公，儿时过中秋时，他总会带着我与我的两个表姐出门赏月，我们嬉闹着，玩耍着，因为我们只要与外公在一起，便会十分开心与满足，外公背着手仰头赏月的情景我至今仍旧记得。今天，我同样背着手，微微仰头，以同样的方式仰望明月，这是一轮从前外公以同样的方式仰望的月亮，此时，她显得多么安详哪!她似乎也在回忆着我与外公的点点滴滴吧。只是如今，我再也不能同外公一起赏月了，他在大地中永久的沉睡了但我相信他一定会在天堂的某一处欣赏着我同时也欣赏着的月亮，就让那皎洁的月光带去我对外公您的思念吧。

溶溶月色中，我仿佛看到了那明月中有一个苍老的身影：他背着手，微微仰头，目光深邃而安详就让这一身影永远的留在中秋，留在我的心底。

(庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat

Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing

teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the

finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs

(传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan

drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese

citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the

water.

Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later

on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).

The celebrations is a time for protection (防护) from evil (邪恶) and disease

(疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as

hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品),

and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one

boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

The August Moon Festival orMid-Autumn Festival (Chinese characters above) is one of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Chinese legends say that the moon is at its brightest and roundest on this day. Based on the Gregorian calendar, this years August Moon Festival will be held on September 19.

The August Moon Festival is often called the Womens Festival. The moon (Chinese character on right) symbolizes elegance and beauty. While Westerners worship the sun (yang or male) for its power, people in the Far East admire the moon. The moon is the yin or female principle and it is a trusted friend. Chinese parents often name their daughters after the moon, in hope that they will be as lovely as the moon.

Dont Waste Water

A man is washing his clothes, regardless of the notice above "Save the Water Please."

As we see ,water is the source of life. But there is a very limited available water resource in our world. So we shouldnt waste it. Of course, we have to use it to drink, cook, wash, clean and etc. But we must remember not to use it extravagantly. If we didnt stop such wasteful habits, we would cut off the development of the world and the human life.

传说中后羿和嫦娥都是尧时候的人，神话说，尧的时候，天上有十个太阳同时出现在天空，把土地烤焦了，庄稼都枯干了，人们热得喘不过气来，倒在地上昏迷不醒。因为天气酷热的缘故，一些怪禽猛兽，也都从干涸的江湖和火焰似的森林里跑出来，在各地残害人民。

人间的灾难惊动了天上的神，天帝常俊命令善于封射箭的后羿下到人间，协助尧除人民的苦难。后羿带着天帝赐给他的一张红色的弓，一口袋白色的箭，还带着他的美丽的妻子嫦娥一起来到人间。

后羿立即开始了射日的战斗。他从肩上除下那红色的弓，取出白色的箭，一支一支地向骄横的太阳射去，顷刻间十个太阳被射去了九个，只因为尧认为留下一个太阳对人民有用处，才拦阻了后羿的继续射击。这就是有名的后羿射日的故事。

但是后羿的丰功伟绩，却受到了其他天神的妒忌，他们到天帝那里去进谗言，使天帝终于疏远了后羿，最后把他永远贬斥到人间。受了委曲的后羿和妻子嫦娥只好隐居在人间，靠后羿打猎为生。

嫦娥又是怎样奔月的呢?在古书上有种种不同的说法。根据《淮南子》的记载是，后羿觉得对不起受他连累而谪居下凡的妻子，便到西王母那里去求来了长生不死之药，好让他们夫妻二人在世间永远和谐地生活下去。嫦娥却过不惯清苦的生活，乘后羿不在家的时候，偷吃了全部的长生不死药，奔逃到月亮里去了。

另一种说法是屈原《天问》的记载，说后羿后来对嫦娥有不忠行为，和河伯的妻子发生暖昧关系，因而引起嫦娥极大的不满，便离开后羿跑到天上去了。嫦娥奔月以后，很快就后悔了，她想起了丈夫平日对她的好处和人世间的温情，对比月亮里的孤独，倍觉凄凉。

SomeHolidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious exampleisprobably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who aren’t even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holiday’s origins.

有些节日实在是很有趣，所以在本土文化以外的地方也很受欢迎。最明显的例子可能就是圣诞节，世界各地的人都会庆祝圣诞节，即使是非基督徒。同样，最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国，成为国际性节日，而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three majorChineseholidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。

Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。这些竞赛显然激起了世界各地人们的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举办，从温哥华到悉尼，从波兰的格但斯克到南非的开普敦。单单字加拿大就有将近50支龙舟队伍，德国则有近30个。

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “It’s an unusual

sport,” says one racer from Germany. “It’s not like everybody’s doing it. That’s one of the reasons that there’s such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like we’re doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, they’re not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just haven’t really acquired it yet.”

那么，为什么端午节赛龙舟会吸引外国人呢?“这是一项不寻常的运动。”一位来自德国的参赛者说，“这并不是所有的人都在从事的运动。这正是龙舟队的团队精神如此高昂的原因之一，每个人都觉得自己在做一件很特别的事。”那么粽子呢?“喔，我觉得它不难吃。”他说，“那是一种需要后天培养的品味。我只是还没培养出来罢了。”

The Dragon Boat Festival ,also called the Duanwu Festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the

Chinese calendar.People always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it.

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races,especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. Ití?s

very popular.

The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.

And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!

The August Moon Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival (Chinese characters above) is one of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Chinese legends say that the moon is at its brightest and roundest on this day. Based on the Gregorian calendar, this years August Moon Festival will be held on September 19.

The August Moon Festival is often called the Womens Festival. The moon (Chinese character on right) symbolizes elegance and beauty. While Westerners worship the sun (yang or male) for its power, people in the Far East admire the moon. The moon is the yin or female principle and it is a trusted friend.

传统节日英语作文二：Our own national culture

Nowadays, some western holidays like Christmas Eve and Valentine’s Day have become so popular with Chinese people that they have been a part of some people’s life. On the contrary, some traditional Chinese festivals gradually are ignored by more and more people, especially young people. However, to our delight, some social groups have appealed to common people for more attention to our own national culture.

Although a few people once advocated that traditional festivals like the Spring Festival should be discarded because they have become obstacles to social progress. It can not be accepted and supported by the majority of Chinese people in reality. Indeed, the old way of spending festivals produces several disadvantages such as money wasting and transportation overloading. But we cannot disregard its other side: traditional festivals play an active role in our life. Traditional festivals not only bring joy but also bring the family together, which is so priceless in modern society.

传统节日英语作文五：Double Ninth Festival

The 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival. It usually falls in October in the Gregorian calendar. In an ancient and mysterious book Yi Jing, or The Book of Changes, number 6 was thought to be of Yin character, meaning feminine or negative, while number 9 was thought to be Yang, meaning masculine or positive. So the number nine in both month and day create the Double Ninth Festival, or Chongyang Festival. Chong in Chinese means double. Also, as double ninth was pronounced the same as the word to signify forever, both are Jiu Jiu, the Chinese ancestors considered it an auspicious day worth celebration. That‘s why ancient Chinese began to celebrate this festival long time ago.

The custom of ascending a height to avoid epidemics was passed down from long time ago. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called Height Ascending Festival. The height people will reach is usually a mountain or a tower. Ancient literary figures have left many poems depicting the activity. Even today, people still swarm to famous or little known mountains on this day.

On this day, people will eat Double Ninth Gao (or Cake). In Chinese, gao (cake) has the same pronunciation with gao (height). People do so just to hope progress in everything they are engaged in. There is no fixed ways for the Double Ninth Cake, but super cakes will have as many as nine layers, looking like a tower.

The Double Ninth Festival is also a time when chrysanthemum blooms. China boasts diversified species of chrysanthemum and people have loved them since ancient times. So enjoying the flourishing chrysanthemum also becomes a key activity on this festival. Also, people will drink chrysanthemum wine. Women used to stick such a flower into their hair or hang its branches on windows or doors to avoid evilness.

In 1989, the Chinese government decided the Double Ninth Festival as Seniors‘ Day. Since then, all government units, organizations and streets communities will organize an autumn trip each year for those who have retired from their posts. At the waterside or on the mountains, the seniors will find themselves merged into nature. Younger generations will bring elder ones to suburban areas or send gifts to them on this day.

今年的中秋节是个好日子，因为今年的中秋节也是爸爸的生日。 This years Mid -Autumn Festival is a good day, because this years Mid -Autumn Festival is also the birthday of Dad.

晚上，奶奶为爸爸准备了丰盛的晚餐还有长寿面，妈妈买来了几只大螃蟹为爸爸庆祝生日。我们一家人围坐在一起开开心心地吃着美味佳肴。

吃完饭后，妈妈收到了家门口美发店客服的信息，邀请爸爸去美发店过生日。听了妈妈说我们要去美发店给爸爸庆祝生日，我既惊讶又兴奋，我还是第一次听说在美发店过生日呢!

我们走出家门，一边赏月，一边朝美发店方向走去。我抬头望着月亮，那月亮时而躲在云朵后面，时而又站在我们面前，月亮多么像一个淘气的小孩子呀!没一会儿，月亮不再淘气了。月亮好像又变成了一位魔术师，而天空变成了一个大舞台，月亮一挥手，天上的星星全都在眨眼睛，月亮再一挥手，天上的星星便不再眨眼睛了。

不知不觉我们走到了美发店，店员们让我们上二楼，说要给爸爸个惊喜。于是，我们跟随店员们上了二楼。一到二楼，我们就听到“祝你生日快乐”的音乐，只见店员哥哥端着一个巧克力水果大蛋糕走了出来，蛋糕上点着蜡烛，见到这个场面我激动极了!

店员哥哥为爸爸带上生日帽，并为我们全家拍了许多照片。我们开始切蛋糕了，奶油的味道很浓郁，巧克力很香醇，蛋糕很松软很美味，我们在美发店度过了一个开心的生日party!

从美发店出来，爸爸指着天空的月亮说：“今晚的月亮又大又圆，真是好看啊!现在的空气质量好了，空中的明月又像我们小时候的样子了。”听着爸爸的话，我又仔细地看看天空的圆月，是啊，今晚的天空分外晴朗，又圆又大的月亮挂在我们头顶，仿佛踮起脚尖就能够到似的。月亮散发出柔和的月光，好似在对我点头微笑，我想，是不是你也和我一样，在欢度中秋的同时也在祝福爸爸生日快乐呢?

这真是一个难忘而美好的中秋节啊!
