Chinese Moon Festival is traditionally celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunisolar
month (see Mid-Autumn Festival Dates), which is in September or October. Mid-Autumn
Festival 2014 is on September 8.
The Mid-autumn festival is the second most important festival after the Spring Festival to
Chinese people. Every year, when the festival comes people go home from every corner
of the country and the world to meet their family and have dinner with them, admire the
full moon and eat mooncakes.
Chinese people believe a full moon is a symbol of peace, prosperity, and family reunion.
On Mid-Autumn Festival night the moon is supposed to be the brightest and fullest,
which is why the festival is also known as the"Day of Reunion" and the "Moon Festival"
Our teachers went to Taoranting Park to celebrate The Mid Autumn Festival with our
students there and to appreciate Festive lantern in the park, we also eat and rowing
together and have a fun for the whole evening.
