sherry's notebook entry: The Mid-autumn Festival Since ancient times, China has had many fairy tales and legends about the moon. The most famous one is Chang Er Flying to the Moon. It is related to a traditional festival in China - the Mid-autumn Festival, which is coming up soon. It is the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Usually we eat moon-cakes and many delicious Chinese dishes on that day. Do you like Chinese food? I believe that most of the foreigners like Chinese food. ^-^ But I don't know whether they like moon-cakes or not. Chinese people emphasize on reunion on Mid-autumn Festival, especially family reunion. So there is another name for Mid-autumn Festival, that is Family Reunion Festival. People often send round moon-cakes to their relatives or friends as gifts in expression of their best wishes of family reunion. At night, all of the family members sit together eating, drinking and chatting to celebrate the important day. Oh, there's one more thing. Don't forget to enjoy the beautiful full moon. Maybe you'll see Chang Er in the moon. :D
