The Moon Festival or Mid –autumn Festival is one of the three major traditional festivals celebrated by Chinese people. Like harvest time in other countries, the Mid-autumn Festival actually began as a thanksgiving celebration, honoring the Soil God and the Crop God. This is also a time for family reunions. Chinese people enjoy moon cakes during this feast just as they eat rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival. It is quite appropriate to bring moon cakes with you in token of festival greetings when calling on people during this season. (准确翻译)

中秋节是由中国的三大主要传统节日之一。象其他国家在收获时节举办的感恩节那样,中秋节通常也由一个感恩仪式开始,感谢土地爷和农神(呵呵,感觉这么别扭啊)。这通常也是家人团聚的日子。中国人席间吃月饼,如同正月十五吃元宵。这这个时节拜访客人的话,捎带些月饼作为礼物是非常合适的。
