Mid Autumn Festival

We will introduce to Mid Autumn Festival in China. I will talk about history.

The Mid Autumn Festival has a history of 2000 years. During 2000 years Mid-Autumn traditions have been thought up by Chinese people. The traditional festival is the second most important festival to Chinese people. The reason why the Mid Autumn festival is important for Chinese people is because the full moon is a symbol of peace.
Every year, when the festival comes people go back to their hometown and have dinner with their family. In the middle of the eighth month of the Chinese calendar the moon is full, and eight is also a popular number in Chinese culture. So people believe this day is very lucky.
