Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese 

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is in September or early October.  It is a date that parallels the autumnal equinox of the solar calendar, when the moon is at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.

中秋節です。古代中国の帝王が秋の季節にお月様を祭る礼に由来します。 
中秋節には家族が集って月餅を食べたり、明月を楽しみ、周りの年配者や、親戚、親友に月餅などをプレゼントして親睦を祈念する願いの日です。
