Mid-autumn Festival or Moon Festival

It was hard for me to find a subject. I asked people to help me so I could find something good to talk about, and they keep telling me that I should do a Chinese thing. People tell me that, which I find mildly annoying sometimes, anyway… ^^ so, as a Chinese girl, let’s talk about a Chinese custom which must be as important as Christmas in western countries: it’s called Mid-autumn Festival or Moon FestivalLa Fête de la lune” in French, it may sound familiar for those. For the others, I’m going to tell you :

1. The story of mid-autumn festival: it is a myth, you know, Chinese History is older than three thousand years, so each event is related to this whole History. The moon festival comes from there.
2. How we celebrate it : each year, it’s held on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is usually around mid or late September in the Gregorian calendar (that is based on the sun cycle).

To conclude, I would say that there are many versions of the story, a Vietnamese version, a Japanese version, in Wikipedia there are more than five different ones, what I’m going to tell you is my favourite, not necessarily the most famous. I won’t detail it here because I have only two minutes and it’s really short, so that’s it, for now.
