Mid-autumn Festival in China
Last week, we Colorbuilding had a three-day holiday to celebrate our traditional Mid-autumn Festival.People always become extremely homesick when festivals come, especially on Mid-Autumn Festival, the most traditional one. Every year, in the middle of autumn, we Chinese family will back to hometown to celebrate the day with family members and reunion with them. There is a famous poem sentence: On festive occasions more than ever one thinks of one's dear ones far away.
Mid-autumn Festival came from a beautiful story. In ancient times, there was a hero named Hou Yi, his beautiful wife Chang E was forced to swallow an elixir by Peng Meng on the Mid-autumn day and flied to the moon. Hou Yi was very sad and missed his wife so much. Therefore, every year on the Mid-autumn day, he puts fruits and moon cakes which Chang E loves most to commemorate his love to his wife and hope she would come back home one day.
Mid-autumn Day, a traditional festival, is really meaningful day for us. It provides a happy moment for us to be together with our family and friends. Meanwhile, it is also a time for us to commemorate the memory of ancestors.
