The Moon festival,also called the Mooncake or Mid-Autumn festival.What is the Moon festival? Every year on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at its maximum brightness for the entire year,the Chinese celebrate "zhong qiu jie"(in chinese pinyin).
Most children are told the story of the moon fairy living in a crystal palace,who comes out to dance on the moon's shadowed surface.The legend surrounding the "lady living in the moon" dates back to ancient times,to a day when ten suns appeared at once in the sky. The Emperor ordered a famous archer to shoot down the nine extra suns.Once the task was accomplished,Goddess of Western Heaven rewarded the archer with a pill that would make him immortal.However,his wife found the pill, took it,and was banished to the moon as a result.Legend says that her beauty is greatest on the day of the Moon festival.
Other Moon Festival Legends
According to another legend,on this day the "Man in the Moon" was spotted at an inn, carrying a writing tablet.When questioned,he said he was recording the names of all the happy couples who were fated to marry and live happily forever after. Accordingly, just as June is the traditional month for exchanging nuptials in the west,many Chinese weddings are held during the eighth lunar month, with the fifteenth day being the most popular.
