37＊＊＊ The Moon Festival ＊＊＊
th
th
The Moon Festival is on the 15
day of the 8
lunar month. One that day, members of a family
get together and enjoy the dinner in the moonlight. The holiday is in the middle of autumn.
Chinese call it Mid-Autumn Festival.
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.
