i think mid-autumn day is an old traditional festival in china. everybody likes it because its a family get-together. you see it is calledmid-autumn day, so it often comes in september or october. it is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month. now, lets say something about this interesting festival.
firstly, id 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 mythsthe godess chang er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which wu gang grows. i will also think about armstrongs 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, i11 say something about the tradition on mid-autumn day. look！theres 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.
thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on mid-autumn day. my wishes are: the first, i, an astronaut in the future, would like to go to the moon one day, and stay with the sky and stars; the second, i hope every person in the world will stay with family, share love from the family forever; the third, i hope everybodys dream will come true.
that is the mid-autumn day in my mind. i will always re-member: east or west, home is best.
chusok (fall evening) is a korean harvest moon (han-gawi) festival set on the 15th day of the eighth lunar moon. chusok (韩国中秋节), also known as the korean thanksgiving or mid-autumn festival, is one of the most celebrated korean holidays. it occurs during the harvest season. thus, korean families take this time to thank their ancestors for providing them with rice and fruits.
the celebration starts on the night before chusok and ends on the day after the holiday. thus, many korean families take three days off from work to get together with family and friends.
the celebration starts with a family get-together at which rice cakes called songphyun (蒸糕) are served. these special rice cakes are made of rice, beans, sesame seeds, and chestnuts. then the family pays respect to ancestors by visiting their tombs and offering them rice and fruits. the koreans visit the graves of their ancestors to bow and clean the area for the coming winter. in the evening, children wear their favorite hanbok (traditional korean clothing) and dance under the bright moon in a large circle. they play games and sing songs. like the american thanksgiving, chusok is the time to celebrate the family and give thanks for their blessings.
community activities include masked dance, kanggangsuwollae, an ancient circle dance, tug-of-wars and the tortoise game, kobuk-nori (乌龟游戏), in which two men dress as a tortoise and tour the villagedancing and performing for food and drink. most of all, chusok is a time to give thanks for the autumn harvest and reaffirm familial and community ties.
一年一度的中秋节又到了，又是一个月圆时。我们一家人早早地吃过晚饭，拿着椅子到阳台赏月。圆圆的明月像玉盘一样高高的挂在深蓝色的天空中，月光洒在阳台上，像给阳台披上了一层薄薄的轻纱。这夜景多迷人啊！
看着圆圆的月亮，我不禁又想起了那个美丽的神话故事：传说从前有个叫后羿的后生和天上的仙女嫦娥相爱了，嫦娥为了后羿而私自下凡，这件事情后来被王母娘娘知道了，她大发雷霆，于是就把嫦娥囚禁在清冷的月宫里，让她孤独地生活,永远都不能再回到人间了。人们为了纪念他们，就在八月十五这天做月饼，希望他们早日团圆。
嫦娥和后羿现在怎么样了呢？正当我思绪万千的时候，妈妈拿着一盘月饼走到阳台上,对我和爸爸说:“这可是上等的月饼,快来尝一尝！”只见爸爸拿起一个月饼看了许久，突然叹了一口气说：“只可惜，今天的月亮还不是很圆。”我听了,又仔细地望了望天空,心里纳闷,“不对呀,天上的月亮不是很圆吗?“我露出迷惑的神情。
“孩子,这你就不懂了吧,等台湾回到祖国怀抱以后,那才叫真正的月圆呢。”爸爸拍着我的肩膀意味深长地说。
“噢,原来是这么回事啊！”我暗自想着,真希望这些祖国的儿女能够早日回到妈妈的怀抱。
我们边吃边聊。夜渐渐深了,我拿起椅子,再次望了望天空中那轮金黄的明月,心想:几年后的月亮一定会更圆更圆......
