Mid-Autumn Festival(or Moon Festival) Presented by Rain Mid-autumn Festival is on 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese calendar (农历). On Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is bright and round, and we eat moon cakes. There are many stories about the moon. The most popular one is the story about Chang’e. After Houyi (后羿) shot down nine suns, the king was very happy. He gave Houyi a big house and a lot of gold. After some time, Houyi became evil (邪恶). He tried to find ways to live forever. One day, a magician (魔术师) gave him a magic stone. Houyi was excited. He put the stone under the bed. 后羿射日之后, 玉皇大帝很高兴，给了后羿大房子和金子。过了一些时间，后羿变得很邪恶。他开始找长生不老的方法。一天魔术师给他魔法石。后羿兴奋地把石藏床底。 Houyi’s wife Chang’e wanted to take the stone away. She didnt want Hou Yi to live forever, because he was evil. So one day, when Hou Yi left home, she found the stone and wanted to threw it. But when she took the stone, she heard her husband coming home. Chang’e didn’t know where to put the stone, so she put it into her mouth. 嫦娥想把魔法石扔了，她不想后羿长生不老，因为他太邪恶了。所以，一天，后羿不在家，她找到了魔法石然后想扔掉。不过在她拿着石头时，她听到她的丈夫回来了。嫦娥不知道把魔法石放哪，于是她把魔法石放入嘴里。 Suddenly, Chang’e became very light and started to flew. She flew out of the window and flew into the sky. Hou Yi was angry. He tried to catch her. But he failed. He could only watch her flew away. Finally, Chang’e flew to the moon and lives there forever. 突然，嫦娥变得很轻，并开始飞。她飞到了窗外，飞在天上。后羿很生气，他想尽办法去抓住嫦娥，但都不行。他只能望着嫦娥飞走。最后，嫦娥飞到了月亮上，并永远住在那里。 On the evening of mid-autumn festival, there will be a big family dinner. People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the union. After dinner, people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round. Children will play with their own toy lanterns happily. At night the moon is usually round and bright. People can enjoy the moon while eating moon-cakes, which are the special food for this festival. They can look back on the past and look forward to the future together. It
