The Moon Festival is on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. It is one of the traditional Chinese Festivals.
On that day the Chinese usually have a special family dinner. Each member of the family even from far away will go back home to have the dinner. During the dinner they eat a lot of delicious food watch TV programmes and chat about everything happily. They also eat moon cakes---an important kind of food of the Moon Festival. Moon cakes are always round like the moon. There is bean paste egg-yolk ice cream or some other nice fruits or food in them.
After the dinner all the family members go out and enjoy the moon and the moonlight. They talk about the stories about the moon and laugh a lot.
They say there is a fairy maiden named Chang E with her rabbit and a sweet osmanthus tree on the moon. Is that true? It is just a legend. But the legend is so wonderful that we would rather believe it right?
