英文中秋节作文

the mid-autumn festival has all interesting history. long ago in one of the dynasties of china there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not manage the country well. the people were so angry that some brave ones suggested killing the king. so they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes. on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the cakes. when they ate them they discovered the notes. so they gathered together to make a sudden attack on the king. from then on the chinese people celebrate on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat "moon cakes" in memory of that important event.

when the mid-autumn festival is near, shop windows are beautifully decorated. many "moon cakes" are displayed for people to buy. people send presents such aswine, fruits and "moon cakes" to their friends and relatives. in the evening of the day, they have a feast. after the feast, they go out to the garden to look at the moon. the children run and laugh on the streets.

it is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. many poems have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing such poems. in chinese literature, the moon of the mid autumn festival has been compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. it seems that chinese literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun。

The Mid-Autumn or Moon Festival is one rich in poetic（诗意的） significance. Ancient legends（古代的传说） that became interwoven with this festival‘s celebration further contribute to the warm regard in which it has always been held by the Chinese people.

According to the lunar calendar（农历）， the seventh， eighth， and ninth months constitute the autumn season. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month， precisely in the middle of this season， when the heat of the summer has given way to cool autumn weather， marked by blue skies and gentle breezes. On this day the moon is at its greatest distance from the earth； at no other time is it so luminous. Then， as the Chinese say， “The moon is perfectly round.” In the villages the heavy work involved in the summer harvest has already been completed but the autumn harvest has not yet arrived.

The actual origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival are still very unclear. The earliest records are from the time of the great Han dynasty emperor Wu Di （156-87 B.C.）， who initiated celebrations lasting three days， including banquets and “Viewing the Moon” evenings on the Toad Terrace. We know that people during the Jin dynasty （265-420 A.D.） continued the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations， and similar accounts have come down to us from the time of the Tang dynasty. During the Ming dynasty （1368-1644） houses and gardens were decorated with numerous lanterns and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air.（http://ad.cankao.gcw818.com）

Moon cakes came on sale shortly before festival time. In the past， one could get some cakes shaped like pagodas， others like a horse and rider， fish or animals. Still others were decorated with the images of rabbits， flowers， or goddesses. There were a myriad of different fillings available： sugar， melon seeds， almonds， orange peel， sweetened cassia blossom， or bits of ham and preserved beef. The cakes are of the northern and southern styles， but the latter （also called Guangdong-style） are the most popular and are available throughout the country.

The round shape of cakes just symbolizes not only the moon but also the unity of the family. Therefore the Mid-Autumn Festival is actually a day for family reunion.

i think mid-autumn day is an old traditional festival in china. everybody likes it because it's a family get-together. you see it is called"mid-autumn day", so it often comes in september or october. it is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month. now, let's say something about this interesting festival.

firstly, i'd 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 myths——the godess chang er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which wu gang grows. i will also think about armstrong's 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, i'11 say something about the tradition on mid-autumn day. look！there's 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 everybody's dream will come true.

that is the mid-autumn day in my mind. i will always re-member: east or west, home is best.
