英语中的中国传统节日—-中秋节
The Mid-autumn is a very important Chinese festival. It falls on the 15th of August in the Lunar Calendar. A few days before the festival, everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful. Lanterns will be hung in front of the house.

At this time, some old people would like to tell many past events and tell the children a story about a beautiful woman，Chang er，and her rabbit on the moon . The children really believe that there is a rabbit on the moon. They hope to go to the moon and have a look one day.
