Cultural Class- Mid-autumn Festival

Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Chinese Moon Festival, takes place at the 15th day of the eighth Chinese lunar month. The reason for celebrating the festival during that time is that it is the time when the moon is at its fullest and brightest.
Almost every traditional Chinese festival has a connection with legends. The most well-known stories of the Mid-Autumn Festival is Chang'e flying to the moon, Jade Rabbit making heavenly medicine, and Wu Gang chopping the cherry bay. Those stories have been passed down from generations to generations alongside the celebrations of the festival itself.
We gave the cultural class last week to learn the culture behind the traditional festival and tried to make moon cake by ourself.


At the end of cultural class, we taught a famous Chinese poetry to express the best wishes for our friends on the festival.

(dàn) (yuàn) (rén) (cháng) (jiǔ)(qiān) () (gòng) (chán) (juān)。” 
We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart.
