Something You Want To Know About Mid-Autumn Festival
Legend Mid-Autumn Festival
Mid-Autumn Festival's legend concerns Houyi, an archer, who saved the earth by shooting down nine of the suns. He stole an elixir from a goddess. His beautiful wife, Change'e, drank it.
传说与后羿有关，他射下了九个太阳，拯救了地球。他从一位女神那里偷了一剂长生不老药，但是他美丽的妻子嫦娥喝下了长生不老药。
After drinking it, she found herself floating, grabbed a rabbit to keep her company and then flew to the moon.
喝完后，她发现自己漂浮了起来，于是她抓了一只兔子作伴，然后飞到了月亮上。
When the local people heard this, they arranged incense tables to worship the goddess Chang'e, praying for happiness and safety. Since then, worshipping and appreciating the moon during Mid-Autumn festival has become popular.
当地的人们听到这个消息后，就摆上香桌祭拜嫦娥女神，祈求幸福和平安。从那时起，中秋节拜月和赏月就变得流行起来。
History Mid-Autumn Festival
Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations date back to more than 2,000 years ago. In feudal times, Chinese emperors prayed to Heaven for a prosperous year. They chose the night of the 15th day of the eighth lunar month to hold a ceremony in praise of the moon.
中秋节的庆祝活动可以追溯到2000多年前。在封建时代，皇帝会祈求上天保佑来年繁荣昌盛。他们选择农历八月十五的晚上举行拜月的仪式。
It was not until the early Tang Dynasty (618-907) that the day was officially celebrated as a traditional festival. It became an established festival during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), and has become as popular as the Spring Festival since the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Celebrations have continued ever since and more customs for marking this occasion have developed.
直到唐朝早期(618-907)，这一天才被正式庆祝为一个传统节日。它在宋朝(960-1279)成为一个固定的节日，自明朝(1368-1644)和清朝(1644-1911)以来就像春节一样流行。庆祝活动一直延续至今，庆祝这一节日的习俗也不断发展。
