??Mid-Autumn Festival (also known as the Moon Festival), the third major festival of the Chinese calendar, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month, as the moon is supposed to be at its maximum brightness for the entire year。
??
The moon definitely spins countless legends throughout the ages。 Of course, the most famous legend is the one surrounding the "lady living in the moon" that dates back to ancient times, to a day when ten suns appeared at once in the sky。
?? The Emperor ordered a famous archer to shoot down the nine extra suns。 Once the task was accomplished, Goddess of Western Heaven rewarded the archer with a pill that would make him immortal。
?? However, his wife found the pill, took it, and was banished to the moon as a result。 Legend says that her beauty is greatest on the day of the festival。
??
Another legend depicts a possible role that the festival played in Chinese history。 Overrun by the Mongols in the thirteenth century, the Chinese threw off their oppressors in 1368 AD。
?? It is said that mooncakes - which the Mongols did not eat - were the perfect vehicle for hiding and passing along plans for the rebellion。
?? Families were instructed not to eat the mooncakes until the day of the festival, which is when the rebellion took place。
??
The most lunatic mortal in Chinese history could have been the great poet Li Bai (701-762 AD), who once invited the moon to have a drink with him and his shadow to form a band of three。
?? Li finally drowned in a lake in an effort to catch the moon when he was drunk one night。
The festive night can be one of the most charming and picturesque nights and the full moon is an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck。
?? For thousands of years, the Chinese people have related the vicissitudes of life to changes of the moon as it waxes and wanes; joy and sorrow, parting and reunion。
?? In Chinese culture, the family represents an important circle of relations that cannot be broken。 Because the full moon is round and symbolizes reunion, the festival is also known as the festival of reunion。
?? All family members try to get together on this special day。 It is a happy occasion where people feast on scrumptious mooncakes。
?? Some Chinese families today still stay up late to observe the occasion eating mooncakes, sipping tea and gazing at the beautiful moon。
?? It is regarded the perfect moment if someone catches the moon's reflection in the center of his or her teacup。 Those who can not return home watch the bright moonlight and feel deep longing for their loved ones。

中秋節到了，家家戶戶團圓了。每家每戶都可以聽到鞭炮聲。
爸爸騎著摩托車，載著我去奶奶家過節。叔叔和爸爸、奶奶在廚房里準備豐盛的晚餐，他們煮的菜散發著濃濃的香味，真叫人嘴饞。
吃完了晚飯，快七點半了，許多人給我們送月餅。有各種各樣的口味，有草莓味、菠蘿味、香蕉味等。我迫不及待地想嘗嘗。可是要等到月亮出來才可以賞月哦!
我和妹妹站在門外放煙火。煙火有的像波浪，有的像太陽花，有的像滿天星，還有的像降落傘。
月亮不知什么時候悄悄地升上了天空，照得大地亮堂堂的。圓圓的月亮像個大玉盤，遠處的星星像一顆顆珍珠。我們坐在大榕樹下，邊賞月邊吃月餅，不由得想起了“床前明月光，疑是地上霜。舉頭望明月，低頭思故鄉”這首古詩。
時間不知不覺地就過去了，我該回家睡覺了。臨走時，奶奶送給我一盒我最愛吃的草莓月餅，我高興地和奶奶告別。爸爸騎著摩托車回家了。
我度過了一個愉快的夜晚!
