Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon becomes brighter during the Mid-Autumn Festival

Chang'e dances in the air, the jade rabbit and the black crow

The harvest is full of autumn colors, and thousands of families are reunited

When the flowers are blooming and the moon is full, send many blessings

There is an acacia tree at home, which makes you healthy and happy

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 kiling 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. lt seems that Chinese literature takes far more interest in the
moon than in the sun.
