I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody likes it because it"s a family get-together。 You see it is called"Mid-Autumn Day"， so it often es in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month。 Now， let"s say something about this interesting festival。
Firstly， I"d like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round， big， just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon， I will remember the ancient myths――the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrong"s first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island， in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much， too。
Secondly， I"11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day。 Look！There"s a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly。 All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world。高雅的网名

Mid-Autumn Festival (also known as the Moon Festival)， the third major festival of the Chinese calendar， is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month， as the moon is supposed to be at its maximum brightness for the entire year。
The moon definitely spins countless legends throughout the ages。 Of course， the most famous legend is the one surrounding the "lady living in the moon" that dates back to ancient times， to a day when ten suns appeared at once in the sky。 The Emperor ordered a famous archer to shoot down the nine extra suns。 Once the task was acplished， Goddess of Western Heaven rewarded the archer with a pill that would make him immortal。 However， his wife found the pill， took it， and was banished to the moon as a result。 Legend says that her beauty is greatest on the day of the festival。
Another legend depicts a possible role that the festival played in Chinese history。 Overrun by the Mongols in the thirteenth century， the Chinese threw off their oppressors in 1368 AD。 It is said that mooncakes - which the Mongols did not eat - were the perfect vehicle for hiding and passing along plans for the rebellion。 Families were instructed not to eat the mooncakes until the day of the festival， which is when the rebellion took place。
The most lunatic mortal in Chinese history could have been the great poet Li Bai (701-762 AD)， who once invited the moon to have a drink with him and his shadow to form a band of three。 Li finally drowned in a lake in an effort to catch the moon when he was drunk one night。
The festive night can be one of the most charming and picturesque nights and the full moon is an auspicious symbol of abundance， harmony and luck。 For thousands of years， the Chinese people have related the vicissitudes of life to changes of the moon as it waxes and wanes; joy and sorrow， parting and reunion。 In Chinese culture， the family represents an important circle of relations that cannot be broken。 Because the full moon is round and symbolizes reunion， the festival is also known as the festival of reunion。 All family members try to get together on this special day。 It is a happy occasion where people feast on scrumptious mooncakes。 Some Chinese families today still stay up late to observe the occasion eating mooncakes， sipping tea and gazing at the beautiful moon。 It is regarded the perfect moment if someone catches the moon"s reflection in the center of his or her teacup。 Those who can not return home watch the bright moonlight and feel deep longing for their loved ones。

Get together gather ……， family reunion
In China， Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion。 On this day， all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this special occasion。 Last year， I could not celebrate the festival with my family because I was in university。 However， this special day left a deep impression on me。
I still remember the atmosphere of that evening。 All the students who could not go back home assembled in our classroom， having a party to celebrate this traditional festival。 We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm。 As an ethnic minority， I performed a peacock dance， which received warm applause。 After the two-hour party， we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day。 We ate moon cakes， played cards， and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our classmates。 In that harmonious atmosphere， nobody felt lonely or homesick even though we were far away from our homes
Thanks to our classmates， I experienced such a colorful and interesting Mid-autumn Day at my university。 Thus， I learned to value all the festivals I spent during my university life。

The Mid-Autumn or Moon Festival is one rich in poetic（诗意的） significance。 Ancient legends（古代的传说） that became interwoven with this festival‘s celebration further contribute to the warm regard in which it has always been held by the Chinese people。 According to the lunar calendar（农历）， the seventh， eighth， and ninth months constitute the autumn season。 Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month， precisely in the middle of this season， when the heat of the summer has given way to cool autumn weather， marked by blue skies and gentle breezes。 On this day the moon is at its greatest distance from the earth； at no other time is it so luminous。 Then， as the Chinese say， “The moon is perfectly round。” In the villages the heavy work involved in the summer harvest has already been pleted but the autumn harvest has not yet arrived。
The actual origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival are still very unclear。 The earliest records are from the time of the great Han dynasty emperor Wu Di （156-87 B。C。）， who initiated celebrations lasting three days， including banquets and “Viewing the Moon” evenings on the Toad Terrace。 We know that people during the Jin dynasty （265-420 A。D。） continued the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations， and similar accounts have e down to us from the time of the Tang dynasty。 During the Ming dynasty （1368-1644） houses and gardens were decorated with numerous lanterns and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air。（gwdq。）
Moon cakes came on sale shortly before festival time。 In the past， one could get some cakes shaped like pagodas， others like a horse and rider， fish or animals。 Still others were decorated with the images of rabbits， flowers， or goddesses。 There were a myriad of different fillings available： sugar， melon seeds， almonds， orange peel， sweetened cassia blossom， or bits of ham and preserved beef。 The cakes are of the northern and southern styles， but the latter （also called Guangdong-style） are the most popular and are available throughout the country。
The round shape of cakes just symbolizes not only the moon but also the unity of the family。 Therefore the Mid-Autumn Festival is actually a day for family reunion。
