Mid-autumn festival is a festival of China on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.One that day,members of a family get together and enjoy the dinner in the moonlight to watch the bright moon and eat mooncakes.There are many kinds of moocake such as the mooncake with eggs,with fruit,with beans .I like the ones with eggs ,but I hate the ones with beans,because they are too sweet.
But why the Chinese people celebrate the mid-autumn,because it is said that before Neil Armstrong set his foot on the moon,Chinese people said that there were a woman(Chang-O),a rabbit(Jade rabbit) and a woodcutter(Wu gang) on the moon.They went to the moon and never came back.People could see them on the moon only on the Moon Festival.In 1969,Neil Armstrong set his foot on the moon.He didn’t see any men or women on the moon.Without Chang-O,Jade rabbit and Wu gang,Chinese people still enjoy the special holiday.When the moon is full,family members are together.They buy moon cakes and pomeloes.They look for a beautiful place.They wait for a bright full moon.They happily prepare everything for the Moon Festival.The Moon Festival is really a romantic holiday.
