On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon rode high in the sky and stars twinkled and shined. In the moonlight, kids were eating mooncakes and listening to their elders tell the story of Lady Chang'e Flying to the Moon. This is how we remember the Mid-Autumn Festival of our childhood.
明月高挂,星辰闪烁。品尝着满口酥甜的月饼,听老人们讲嫦娥奔月的故事,这是儿时美好的记忆,这就是中秋节。
As Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the refreshing autumn evening when the moon is at its brightest and roundest, watching the full moon is a long-lasting tradition of the Chinese nation. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a time for family reunion. People from all across China will manage to find their way home that very day no matter where they are. If someone is delayed from returning, their family will leave them mooncakes, symbolizing a happy family reunion.
中秋节,正值秋高气爽之时,月亮特别明、特别圆,人们一直都有赏月的习俗。此时讲究阖家团圆,在外的人都会尽早往家赶。万一有事不能回家,家人也会给他留下一块月饼,以示全家美满幸福。
