Mid-Autumn Festival

This album is powered by BubbleShare - Add to my blog
Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Festival in China. It is on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. It said that in the mid-autumn day you can see a beautiful girl in the moon(We called she as Change)and a little rabbit. In fact, it's a myth. Nowadays; people celebrate the day by eating moon cakes. It's a kind of cake with many kinds of food in the cake like meat, bean, beef, strawberry, sauce and so on. On that day, most families have a dinner together.
In my family my mother always cooks duck, green soy bean and taro for the dinner. And we usually drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine or sweet-scented osmanthus tea with dinner.
