Happy Mid-autumn Festival!
"Zhong Qiu Jie", which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar.It is a time for family members to reunite.The moon is usually round and bright on this evening (moon is bright and round On The 15th of each month ).So after dinner,people can enjoy the moon and eat mooncakes together.Because Chinese people regard the full moon as an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck.
Th origin of "Zhong Qiu Jie" was from a legend of Chang-E(嫦娥), the beautiful lady who is living on the moon.Long long ago,the earth had 10 suns in the sky which made the earth was quite hot.There was a great archer named Hou Yi (后羿),he shot down nine extra suns and kept the earth from being scorched.For this,he was rewarded with a pill containing the elixir of immortality. But his student wanted to steal the pill for staying alive forever .And Hou Yi's wife Chang E discovered this and swallowed the pill.After Chang E swallowed the pill,she flew to the moon in no time and became a permanent resident there.When Hou Yi went back home and he could not find his wife,he felt very sad and they missed each other.
There also was another resident on the moon,his name is Wu Gang(吴刚).He was a lazy student who always disappointed his master and was very immoral.So he was punished by being required to chop down a cassia tree on the moon.This was an impossible mission because once he cut the tree, the tree would heal itself competely recovered at the same time.So Wu Kang is still chopping away for eternity.
In the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at "Zhong Qiu Jie" was given a new significance. The story goes that when Zhu Yuan Zhang (a king of Ming dynasty) was plotting to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty started by the Mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the Mid-Autumn mooncakes. Zhong Qiu Jie is hence also a commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han people.
Happy Mid-autumn Festival to everyone!

It may be a bit wrong and I apologize if there are any errors still left.
Try not to use conjuctions like And, But, Or and Because at the start of a sentence.
That was very enjoyable to read, thank you for taking the time to write it !
