Chinese Traditional Festival - Mid-Autumn Festival
According to Chinese lunar calendar, the 15th day of the 8th month is the Mid-Autumn Festival which is also known as the Moon Festival and one of the most important and traditional holiday in China.
The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations date back to more than 2000 year ago. In feudal times, Chinese emperors prayed to Heaven for a prosperous year on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. And this custom became prevalent in the Rang Dynasty people enjoyed and worshipped the full moon, and in Song Dynasty moon cakes were popular as gifts to express their wishes. These customs are inherited by generations until now and developed by people.
This day is considered as a harvest festival, because around this time almost the farmers have just finished their work on harvest, and they are happily reap a bumper harvest while after a year's hard work they feel relax quiet, therefore the Mid-Autumn Festival has gradually evolved as a widely celebrated festival.
In addition, the moon will be changed round and bright on the fifth day of every lunar month, so the Moon Festival is called by people on this special day. In China, people usually regard the round things as the reunion, hence, the Moon Festival is a occasion for the family to get together. When this day coming, people will be busy preparing moon cakes, a kind of dessert which made of bean paste, minced meat, almonds, lotus seeds and so on. The moon cake is specialty of the Moon Festival. And varieties foods and fruit like apples, peaches, grapes, melons set up in the courtyard to offer the gods in their heart. People also will prepare some for themselves, and at night, by custom, men and women, old and young will stay out of doors to appreciate the round moon while eat delicious moon cakes and fruits and chat.
