How much do you know about the Mid-Autumn Festival? It is a very important traditional festival in China. 1
The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the 15th day of the 8th Chinese lunar month. The date of the festival in the Gregorian calendar changes every year, but it is usually in September or October.
2 The Chinese think highly of their families and they value the moments when they can meet up. Nowadays people are busy with their work. They don't have much time for family gatherings. The Mid-Autumn Festival gives people a chance to meet their loved ones. So, they try their best to manage to get home.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the full moon day of the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. 3 And all the celebration activities have something to do with the moon, such as appreciating （欣赏） the moon, praying to the moon for good luck and a happy marriage, etc.
The full moon does not always appear on the Mid-Autumn night. 4 This is because of the fact that the length of a day is controlled by the sun's movement and the moon's phases （月相）do not coincide（重叠）precisely, which explains the fact that sometimes the moon can be seen during daylight hours.
5 During the festival, people eat mooncakes while appreciating the moon, worship the moon with mooncakes, and send mooncakes as gifts to relatives and friends.
