Mid-Autumn Festival

One of the most important festivals is the Mid-Autumn Day.

Chine ancestors believed that the 7th,8th,and 9th lunar months

belong to autumn. So the Mid-Autumn Day falls on the 15th day

of the eighth lunar month.

In mid-autumn, farmers have just finished gathering their

crops and bringing in fruits from the orchards果園. Overjoyed狂

喜的 with the bumper豐富的 harvest, they feel quite relaxed after

a year's hard work. So the 15th of the eighth lunar month has

gradually evolved as成為 a widely celebrated festival for ordinary

people.

Night falls. The land is bathed in silver moonlight, as at this

time of the year the weather is usually fine and the sky usually

clear. Families t up tables in their courtyards 庭院or sit on their

balconies, chatting and sharing offerings祭品 to the moon.

Together they enjoy the enchanting迷人的 spell of night.

Naturally at this pleasant moment people are reminded of

beautiful legends about the moon. The most popular in China is

an ancient story telling how a girl named Chang'e flew to the

moon.

Long long ago， a terrible drought干旱plagued折磨；困擾

the land. Ten suns burned fiercely猛烈地 in the sky like

smoldering 情緒郁積的volcanoes火山. The land was parched烤,

and rivers went dry. Many people died of hunger and thirst. Then

there appeared a brave young man named Hou Yi who took out

his red bow and white arrows箭and shot down nine suns one

after another一個接一個的. The weather immediately turned

cooler and heavy rains filled the rivers with fresh water. Life was

restored恢復 on the earth and humanity was saved.

A beautiful girl cretly fell in love with the hero, who also

loved the sweet girl. Soon they got married.

Out of respect for what he had done for his people, the

goddess of the western sky rewarded the brave young man with

a special drink that could give its drinker eternal永恒的 life in the

heaven and made him an immortal being生命.

But an evil-minded person got to learn the cret and he

managed to kill the hero by a sudden attack. The murder done,

he ran to Chang'e who was waiting for the return of her husband

from hunting. The wicked邪-惡的 murderer謀殺者 forced強迫 the

wife to give him the drink. Without hesitation猶豫, the wife in

her desperation絕望的境地 took up the drink and drank it in one

gulp大口的.

Overcome with grief悲痛, the faithful忠誠wife rushed to the

dead body of her husband and wept bitterly悲痛地. But soon the

drink began to take effect and Chang'e felt herlf lifted up from

the ground towards heaven.

She had to live on the moon becau it is nearest to the earth

where her husband lay lifeless無生命的 and cold. She was alone

and sad, never able to get back to earth.

For thousands of years the Chine people have related涉及

the vicissitudes興衰 of life to changes of the moon as it waxes漸

滿 and wanes漸淡的: joy and sorrow, parting and reunion.

Becau the round, full moon is a symbol of reunion and

happiness, the mid-autumn day when the moon is at its fullest

and brightest is naturally taken as the festival. In the Chine

written language, the word圓滿(pronounced as "yuan man")

means round and full literally字面上地, and metaphorically 暗喻

it suggests family reunion and perfection 完美of life in the world.

Every family would try to enjoy a happy reunion of its members

in hoping for a more perfect life in future. Tho who cannot

return home on this day to watch the bright moon together with

their dear ones always feel deep longing for their family. One of

the most famous poets in the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, expresd his

longing for home place

in a short poem that has become known even to three-year-

old kids for thousands of years. It runs like this:

Before my bed shine bright the silver moon beams,

It ems autumn frost on the chamber floor gleams.

Gazing up toward the full moon in the night skies,

I can't but lower my head as homesickness鄉(xiāng)愁 does ari上

升.

Today festivities歡宴，慶典 centered about the Mid-Autumn

Day are more varied. After a family reunion dinner, many people

like to go out to attend special performances in parks or on

public squares. Some groups or clubs of retired people would

hold gatherings or parties for appreciation of the moonlight.

Among all the ways to celebrate this particular occasion, one

traditional custom has definitely remained unchanged and is

shared by almost every Chine. That is eating a special kind of

food: moon-cakes. Most of the cakes are made in a round

shape, again a symbol of the full moon. There are a number of

fillings wrapped纏繞，包裹 inside the cakes, so it's also a golden

time for markets and department stores to ll the special

cakes to citizens市民 before and during the festival. They are

really delicious, and it's not uncommon for people to nd moon-

cakes to friends and relatives as Mid-Autumn gifts. While eating

the tasty moon-cakes and gazing at the bright moon in the night

sky, people feel sweet and happy at heart.

中秋節(jié)的來歷、中秋節(jié)的簡介（英語）

"Zhong Qiu Jie", which is also known as the Mid-Autumn

Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the

lunar calendar. It is a time for family members and loved ones to

congregate and enjoy the full moon - an auspicious symbol of

abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in

fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping

hot Chine tea, while the little ones run around with their

brightly-lit lanterns.

"Zhong Qiu Jie" probably began as a harvest festival. The

festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of

Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.

According to Chine mythology, the earth once had 10 suns

circling over it. One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching

the earth with their heat. The earth was saved when a strong

archer, Hou Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns. Yi stole

the elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule, but

his wife, Chang-E drank it. Thus started the legend of the lady in

the moon to whom young Chine girls would pray at the Mid-

Autumn Festival.

In the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at "Zhong Qiu

Jie" was given a new significance. The story goes that when Zhu

Yuan Zhang was plotting to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty started

by the Mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the Mid-

Autumn mooncakes. Zhong Qiu Jie is hence also a

commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han

people.

During the Yuan Dynasty (A.D.1206-1368) China was ruled by

the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Sung

Dynasty(A.D.960-1279) were unhappy at submitting to foreign

rule, and t how to coordinate the rebellion without it being

discovered. The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon

Festival was drawing near, ordered the ma-ki-ng of special cakes.

Packed into each mooncake was a message with the outline of

the attack. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels

successfully attacked and overthrew the government. What

followed was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368-

1644). Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.

Mid-Autumn Day is a traditional festival in China. Almost

everyone likes to eat mooncakes on that day. Most families have

a dinner together to celebrate the festival. A saying goes, "The

moon in your hometown is almost always the brightest and

roundest". Many people who live far away from homes want to

go back to have a family reunion. How happy it is to enjoy the

moon cakes while watching the full moon with your family

members.

中秋節(jié)專題—中秋八月,月圓情濃

：寫在前面

明月幾時有？把酒問青天。

不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年？

我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，

高處不勝寒！起舞弄清影，何似在人間？

轉(zhuǎn)朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠。

不應有恨，何事長向別時圓？

人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。

但愿人長久，千里共嬋娟。

流年似水，就在恍惚的一瞬間又是中秋，夜風習習，皓月當空，

中秋八月，月圓情濃。

朋友,不管你現(xiàn)在身處何方,不要再忽略那已被你遺忘已久的月亮,放

飛思緒，讓我們的'心靈在想往的天空深情交匯，構(gòu)筑一片美麗多姿的

風景，然后，一起慢慢感受天空下那絲絲縷縷糾纏環(huán)繞的暖暖的陽光。

Thinking of You 水調(diào)歌頭

When will the moon be clear and bright?

With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.

I don't know what ason it would be in the heavens on this

night.

I'd like to ride the wind to fly home.

Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high

and cold for me.

Dancing with my moon-lit shadow,

It does not em like the human world.

The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors,

Shines upon the sleepless Bearing no grudge,

Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?

People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart,

The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane,

This has been going on since the beginning of time.

May we all be blesd with longevity Though far apart, we

are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.

--Read by Yun Feng

水調(diào)歌頭

明月幾時有，把酒問青天。不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年。

人間。

人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。但愿人長久，千里

共嬋娟。
