Moon Festival in China (Mod 2) Lesson (2c)





Chinese celebrate the moon festival in autumn (the season between Summer and Winter) and it lasts one day. Before the festival people prepare tarditional mooncakes to eat or send to their friends and relatives. On that day , Chinese families get together to celebrate the end of the harvest season (when the crops are gathered from the fields). Later in the evening , families watch the full moon, eat mooncakes and sing moon poems, In China the moon symbolises beauty (represent beauty). The Chinese believe that on that evening little children can see a lady on the moon. When the children make a wish (ask for something to happen) to the lady on the Moon, their dreams can come true (happens). Everyone has a great time.
