Hooray! We just finished a 3 day weekend here in China. YAY! Another holiday. Here is a little information about the holiday.
Mid Autumn Festival:
It is called the Mid-Autumn Festival because the 15th day is the middle of a month, and the eighth lunar month is in the middle of autumn. … The custom of offering sacrifices to the moon has been replaced by celebrating the festival with family and friends.
Here are a few ways that people celebrate the festival:
- Eating Mooncakes — The Most Representative Tradition. …
- Appreciating the Moon — a Symbol of Family Reunion. …
- Worshiping the Moon — a Disappearing Tradition. …
- Making Colorful Lanterns — Children’s Favorite Activity
Yall! I Have so many mooncakes at home I need to give some away!
Here are some pictures from Mid-Autumn Festival at school … enjoy! We had a blast having their parents spend the morning in our classroom and celebrate with us the start of a long/3-day weekend!
