Chinese people believe that the moon is in its roundest and brightest on the 15th day of the 8th month on the Lunar calendar, which usually falls between mid-September and Mid-October. So it's literally called "Mid Autumn Festival" zhōng qiū jié . The famous legend has something to do with the rebellion to the Mongolian and the flying Moon Lady, cháng é, and the Jade Rabbit. Yet, the most important tradition for the holiday is moon gazing and moon cakes!
"My fondest memory of the class has to be when Laoshi brought mooncakes for the Moon Festival!"
"Going to China Town and eating the good food was my favorite part of the class. I also enjoyed the Moon Festival."
