英语周记 中秋节

Mid-autumn Day falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month（农历）. On that night the moon is brighter and fuller than any other night. In China, Mid-autumn Day is a time for family reunions (团圆).
On this day, many families enjoy watching the full moon. Some families will bake（烘） cakes, called “moon cakes.” Then, each member of the family will eat a piece of cake to show their unity（团圆）. Some moon cakes are made of wheat flour (面粉), sugar and lotus seed powder (莲子粉). They're delicious!
In ancient China, poets considered the moon as a symbol of brightness, purity and goodness. They wrote many beautiful poems about the moon. The most popular one was a story about a lady on the moon. She flew to the moon and lived in the Moon Palace .
