过中秋除了吃月饼还能干点啥？

What can we do on Mid-autumn Day besides eating mooncakes?

又是一年中秋到，有喜悦和莫名兴奋的感觉，毕竟一年中的节日少的屈指可数。但秋风还是会卷来淡淡的思念，让离家背井的人，思念团圆。
许多节日在我们日益紧张的生活中变的越来越淡，最后只剩下了吃。中秋吃，过年吃，端午吃，元宵节吃，圣诞节吃，总之现在吃的内容已经变做了节日的重头戏，而那种玩乐和有意思的事却越来越少。
总之过节要过的开心开心！没必要扯传统拉古人。

中秋节是我国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日,又称团圆节。

在唐代，中秋赏月、玩月颇为盛行。在北宋京师开封，八月十五夜，满城人家，不论

贫富老小，都要穿上成人的衣服，焚香拜月说出心愿，祈求月亮神的保佑。南宋，民间以月

饼相赠，取团圆之义。有些地方还有舞草龙，砌宝塔等活动。明清以来，中秋节的风俗更加

盛行；许多地方形成了烧斗香、树中秋、点塔灯、放天灯、走月亮、舞火龙等特殊风俗。今

天，月下游玩的习俗，已远没有旧时盛行。但设宴赏月仍很盛行，人们把酒问月，庆贺美好

的生活，或祝远方的亲人健康快乐，和家人“千里共婵娟”。现在，祭月拜月活动也被规模

盛大、多彩多姿的群众赏月游乐活动所替代。

又是一年中秋到，我们随便聊，聊今年的中秋你预备要怎样过？和谁过？你还记得起去年的中秋么？你希望在这个中秋实现怎样的愿望……

Today I am early, hehe

Another Mid-autumn Day is coming. Wish my parents, relatives, and all my friends a happy holiday~

When I was a child, I always counted the days till the holidays such as the dragon boat festival, the Mid-Autumn festival & the spring festival. At that time I knew little about the cultural connotation of these festivals. The delicious food and colorful gifts are the biggest temptation that no children can resist, and I am no exception, so excitement is the deepest impression on those days. As I gradually grew up, I understood that these festivals mean much more than dining and gifts. Especially for those who are away from home, reunion is the most longing theme. It maybe hard to be understood by some foreigners, but home is the everlasting basis of Chines culture. There are numrous ancient poems about missing home, such as “独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲” & “浊酒一杯家万里，燕然未勒归无计”, etc. so no matter how far away people are from home, they will try every means to go back to their families, especially on the Mid-autumn Day and the spring festival. Maybe we have taken great pains in going home, but as long as we could see the familiar faces of our relatives, share all the happiness and sorrows during the aparted times, then all the efforts are worthwhile and could be compensated.

Here, I feel ashamed to say that I have not accompanied my parents to spend this festival for several years. I still remembered that the first Mid-Autumn festival that I spent alone in university, when I called my mother, I couldn’t help crying though I had told myself thousands of times that I should be strong and did not let them worry about me. Maybe it was just a kind of mixed complex recalled by the special time & scene. Now I have become totally independent and will not weep over the phone. But I know my parents and relatives still miss me so much, especially on the reunion festival. So I will call them to send my sincere thanks and best wishes. We might just talk some trivial things such as the weather or even the dishes I newly learned to make. But who cares about the topic? I just know through these conversations, I feel close to them. I know our hears are tied together and will never be aparted.

Then I will go for a walk with my darling. The moon must be bright and somewhat creamy. Hand in hand, we walk in the beautiful moolight. Even w/o any words, walking silently could also make us mellow. Sometimes happiness is just so simple. How romantic it will be, hehe~

Finally, best wishes to my ICIBA friends, especially Lorraine, Saisai, KK, 小王贵，cherry_ww, etc. wish all of you happy Mid-Autumn day, happy forever

What can we do on Mid-autumn Day bisides eating mooncakes?

The mid-autumn festival is coming. So excited and happy. We will take a three days holidays. So cool can be away from the tired work. Just have a rest.
In my mind, the mid-autumn festival which is a festival for people having a reunion with family. Many people who work outward would take this time to go home. Of course, on the mid-autumn festival, we eat the mooncakes, it’s a tradition.
In some ancient costume’s teleplay, we can see how do peoples in the old time celebrate the mid-autumn festival, there are so many activities such as lamp shows, guess riddles written on lanterns, enjoy the moon and so on.
That remind me of my childhood, as I was young, I always looked forward every festivals for that time I would have new dresses and nice food to eat. That was really a happy time for me. On the mid-autumn festival, my grand-dad always made a lantern which shape was like a rabbit. And lighted a candle in the bingy of the rabbit. The lantern became so beautiful.
As grown up, not like childhood, I less have a rabbit lantern. And the mood is also not like a child. Less and less activities then just have a reunion with family and watch the TV or go out for a look. Seems nothing is special just the same as normal. We couldn't come back to the childhood and even couldn't get back the mood at that time.
This year’s mid-autumn festival, I will also like the former years, together with daddy, mom, grand-dad, grandmother…also aunty’s family.
As the wish, I wish everyone happy mid-autumn festival.

What can we do on  Mid-autumn Day besides eating mooncakes?
first i want to say that mid-autumn day is one of my favourite festivals because i always consider it a good time for families to gather together, sharing joys and tears. whenever autumn approches, it tends to be much easier for us to feel blue and depressed, seeming that everything around us is veiled with a deep darkness. it is also a season in which suicide rate is rather high just like those in north europe, typically, the nighttime is really longer than daytime. confined in such a suffocated condition for such a long time, people there are inclined to be passive.

luckily, we always have mid-autumn festival in fall, then many kinds of loneliness, depression get far away from us. what has left is full warmth and caring expressions.

when it comes to mid-autumn festival, it occurs to me the term "reunion". it has the prefix 're-', which means do something again. natually we comes to the point that mid-autumn festival is a one for far-away people being together. however busy they are or whatever difficulties they may have, people far away from home will try their best to come back and to see their relatives. maybe it can be best explained as 'blood is thick than water'.

on thinking, it reminds me of my last year's mid-autumn festival. that's really fantastic and touching as well as meaningful even though i was not at home to celebrate it with my dear parents. actually, the case is that i spent this special day with my new college classmates. i, at that time, was called a freshman and so it was my first time to leave home and have that festival alone. so homesick did i feel, though SISU seemed not to be too faraway, that almost every day  i would call my mum to tell her about what had happened to me, good or bad. but it turned out to be that i was not at all alone since there were so many smiling faces around me. maybe theirs were not so familiar as my parents' while another kind of magic held me upright-that was friendship . we collected all our yearning for our parents in a big box and then turned it to be a mooncake of happiness. every one of us could take one. at the same time, with the silver white moon light, we sat in a circle, introducing ourselves and sharing our own personal experiences. then i realized that the real meaning of mid-autumn festival does not lie in the people who are around you, what really matters is that how you think and how you feel. if your heart can tell you that you are happy and blissful, then you are definitely in that sense. however far your family members, your friends or your lovers are, as long as you have them in your heart, the distance seems not to be a big deal. instead, you can fill the whole world in your heart.

mid-autumn festival is just around the corner. this time i can be with my parents. and i think what i can do is cherishing the significant festival and  enjoying ourselves simply by going shopping together, having meals, making face-to-face conversations. that'll be enough for me.

yesterday i heard a saying like that 'once you miss someone, you'll miss him/her forever'. really? i don't know. what i'm sure is that i indeed treasure those important persons in my life at this time, in this festival. i'm not the one who likes to make big promises, but i hope everything beautiful can last forever. from now on and from this year's mid-autumn festival, treasure  those deserving your cherishing.

What can we do on Mid-autumn Day bisides eating mooncakes?

The day after tomorrow is Mid-autumn day, it’s so happy, but the company just give us two days to rest, I ask for one day leave, it’s also three days, I plan to go to my brother’s home, mum is there, due to the typhoon in the following two days in Ningbo, my initial arrangement that go there by boat has to be canceled, it’s a little disappointed,.

I think the aim of festival is for us to be together, talking about the work and life, or we can go to travel if with enough time and money, but for me, I prefer to stay at home with families, I seldom spend time with them, now I am imaging the scene, we are sitting together and chatting, with the delicious moon cake, it’s so beautiful.

I still remember the last year, I spend this special day alone, that night I wept, because I have been with my family in my last 23 years, no relatives, no friends, in this strange city, I was a lonely person, but in face of my parents, I had to pretend to be happy, I don’t want them to worry about me, it’s really an indelible day.

Ok, to write so much, It’s time to bless the Iciba friends, to say happy Mid-autumn Day in advance, wish everyone here happy.

What can we do on Mid-autumn Day besides eating mooncakes?

Mid-autumn Day is a special day for the reunion of family members and friends. It is a sweet day because of not only the mooncake’s flavor but also the joy from the gathering. In my mind, mooncakes are actually a culture far more than only a type of food. Whatever material or ingredients a mooncake is made of, all the mooncakes share the same shape. That is circle. In China’s traditional culture, circle stands for complete gathering of a whole family. Therefore, eating mooncake has become an irreplaceable means to enjoy the festival as well as express the good wish of being together. To some extent, it is like the Thanksgiving Day in America, on which all family members sit together to celebrate the reunion and express thanks to each other. The difference is that they eat turkey while we enjoy mooncakes.

When asked, what is the typical feature of mid-autumn day? Everyone must reply the mooncake or eating mooncake. However, here I would like to ask you, my dear friend, do you really care for mooncakes. To be honest, I have little interest in eating them. Sweet is not my taste. Several days ago, one of my friends sent me a box of mooncakes. (By the way, his wife is a teacher, receiving a lot of mooncakes from the students. So it might remind you the previous topic, who should be blamed for gift-sending? ) The box of mooncake was with beautiful and classical decoration, easily enkindling one’s desire to taste it. However, the taste of the mooncakes is just so so. For me, nearly all the mooncake tastes same flavor. Only one piece is enough for me to digest. In other words, eating mooncake turns to be formalism that I should eat it no matter I like it or not. Oh, my God. Who can help me?

So, what can we do on mid-autumn Day besides eating mooncakes? Three options pop up in my mind for your kind reference: to enjoy flower, to enjoy moon, and to enjoy Qiu Xiang. Then someone may feel confused and ask me who or what Qiu Xiang is. I can not help laughing, as the Qiu Xiang is a beautiful lady in a movie “唐伯虎点秋香”. Just imagine, you and your own “Qiuxiang” (your lover) walk slowly among bouquets, eating mooncake while seeing the full moon. You two walk hand in hand. The scene easily spires one’s content, isn’t it? Of course, the above mentioned three options are for fun. We have many things to do, but the key point is that you had better be with your friends or family. During the working days, we struggle for life and have no time of sharing our minds. On the special day, every should slow down the life pace and sit around a table to enjoy a meal or game or whatever. Just being together.

Last but not the least, let’s get back to the mooncake. Eating mooncakes has been a culture or custom on mid-autumn day, just like that people usually eat dumplings in lunar spring festival. However, there’s difference between mooncakes and dumplings. The latter are popular and eaten over a whole year, while the former are only enjoyed for no more than a month. No one will feel strange that the price of the mooncake often fall sharply after middle-autumn day. May it show that mooncake are not delicious as dumplings? If so, I should be normal even though I have little passion on mooncake.

Finally, wish all my friends and whoever know me a wonderful middle-autumn day!
