a full moon
We Chinese have a tradition of admiring the full moon.
And we even have a festival for it-- the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month or
on August 15th on the lunar calendar
1. the change of Chinese characters
(a full moon does not always appear, only in the middle of a month)
2. a beautiful wish for reunion by Chinese

(many poems and stories about it)

2 There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him magic medicine to thank him. Whoever took this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to take it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Peng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and took it all. She became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that the could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!
