It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. A year is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, and according to traditional Chinese calendar, each season is further divided into three phases. The 8th lunar month is the second month in autumn and the 15th day is in the middle of the month. That's how the festival gets its name-the Mid-Autumn Festival. 中秋節是中國重要性僅次于春節的第二大傳統節日，慶祝時間為每年的農歷八月十五。根據中國傳統歷法，一年分春、夏、秋、冬四季，每季分為三個階段，農歷八月為秋季的第二個月，稱為仲秋，而農歷八月十五為仲秋之中，故稱中秋。 　The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the ancient people's worship of the moon. In the documents of the Western Han Dynasty, there are records of Chang'e flying to the moon and Wu Gang cutting an osmanthus. The festival came into being in the Song Dynasty and became important in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. 中秋節源自古人對月亮的祭祀與崇拜。西漢的文獻中便有嫦娥奔月、吳剛伐桂的記載，而節日的形成源自宋代，明清時，中秋節已成為重要的節日。 中秋節的詞匯 中秋節 Mid-Autumn Day農歷 Chinese lunar calendar滿月 full moon秋分前后的滿月 harvest moon賞月 appreciating the moon拜月 moon worship相聚 gathering家人團圓 family reunion月餅 mooncake孔明燈 Kongming lantern桂花酒 cassia wine 儀式 ritual舞龍舞獅 dragon and lion dances燈謎 lantern riddles 中秋節的祝福 　　1. 愿月亮的光輝圍繞著你，照亮你通往健康、幸福和繁榮的道路。 May the glow of the moon surround you and light your way to health, happiness and prosperity. 2. 愿您幸福快樂到永遠。 I wish you happiness forever. 3. 無論你在何處，有份祝福永遠掛在我心中，祝你一切順利。 No matter where you are, all those blessings always keep in my mind.
