“May we all be blessed with longevity.Though miles apart,we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together(但愿人长久,千里共婵娟)”,wrote by Su Shi,a poet during the Song Dynasty,in his wellknown poem to his younger brother Su Zhe.
The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar(阴历).On this day,people celebrate the MidAutumn Festival.It has been enjoying great popularity(流行) all over the country.

Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries,families also try to get together for the MidAutumn Festival in China.Usually,no matter how far away or how busy they are,people will try to return home for the celebration.
The MidAutumn has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays.People eat mooncakes with fillings(馅) such as sugar and eggs.The round shape of the moon cake makes it look like the full moon.The full moon and mooncakes stand for family reunion(团聚).
