zhong qiu jie, which is also known as the mid-autumn festival,
is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar
calendar. it is a time for family members and loved ones to
congregate and enjoy the full moon - an auspicious symbol of
abundance, harmony and luck. adults will usually indulge in
fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of
piping hot chinese tea, while the little ones run around with
their brightly-lit lanterns.

农历八月十五日是 中国的传统节日——中秋节。在这天，每个家庭
都团聚在一起，一家人共同观赏象征丰裕、和谐和幸运的 圆月。此
时，大人们吃着美味的月饼，品着热腾腾的香茗，而孩子们则在一
旁拉着兔子灯尽情玩 耍。

zhong qiu jie probably began as a harvest festival. the festival
was later given a mythological flavour with legends of chang-e,
the beautiful lady in the moon.

中秋节最早 可能是一个庆祝丰收的节日。后来，月宫里美丽的仙女
嫦娥的神话故事赋予了它神话色彩。

according to chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns
circling over it. one day, all 10 suns appeared together,
scorching the earth with their heat. the earth was saved when a
strong archer,

hou yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns. yi stole the
elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule, but his
wife, chang-e drank it. thus started the legend of the lady in the
moon to whom young chinese girls would pray at the mid-
autumn festival.

传说古时候，天空曾有10 个太阳。一天，这10个太阳同时出现，
酷热难挡。弓箭手后翌射下了其中9个太阳，拯救了地球上的生 灵。
他偷了长生不死药，却被妻子嫦娥偷偷喝下。此后，每年中秋月圆
之时，少女们都要向月宫 仙女嫦娥祈福的传说便流传开来。

in the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at zhong qiu jie
was given a new significance. the story goes that when zhu
yuan zhang was plotting to overthrow the yuan dynasty started
by the mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the mid-

autumn mooncakes. zhong qiu jie is hence also a
commemoration of the overthrow of the mongolians by the han
people.

在14世纪，中 秋节吃月饼又被赋予了一层特殊的含义。传说在朱元
璋带兵起义推翻元朝时，将士们曾把联络信藏在月饼 里。因此，中
秋节后来也成为汉人推翻蒙古人统治的纪念日。 字串7

during the yuan dynasty (a.d.1206-1368) china was ruled by
the mongolian people. leaders from the preceding sung
dynasty

(a.d.960-1279) were unhappy at submitting to foreign rule, and
set

how to coordinate the rebellion without it being discovered.
the leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the moon festival
was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes.
packed into each mooncake was a message with the outline of
the attack. on the night of the moon festival, the rebels
successfully attacked and overthrew the government. what
followed was the establishment of the ming dynasty (a.d. 1368-
1644). today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.

在元朝， 蒙古人统治中国。前朝统治者们不甘心政权落入外族之手，
于是密谋策划联合起义。正值中秋将近，起义 首领就命令部下制作
一种特别的月饼，把起义计划藏在每个月饼里。到中秋那天，起义
军获取胜 利，推翻了元朝，建立明朝。今天，人们吃月饼纪念此事。

2016中秋节英文介绍(带翻译)

mooncakes are to mid- autumn festival what mince pies are to
christmas. the seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet
filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one
or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon.
and the moon is what this celebration is all about. mid-autumn
festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month, it is the time
when the moon is said to be at its brightest an

d fullest. this year the festival falls on october 1.

there are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of
eating mooncakes. one tang dynasty myth holds that the earth
once had 10 suns circling it. one day all 10 suns appeared at
once, scorching the planet with their heat. it was thanks to a
skillful archer named hou yi that the earth was saved. he shot
down all but one of the suns. as his reward, the heavenly
queen mother gave hou yi the elixir of immortality, but she
warned him that he must use it wisely. hou yi ignored her

advice and, corrupted by fame and fortune, became a
tyrannical leader. chang-er, his beautiful wife, could no longer
stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his elixir
and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. and thus
began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon, the
moon fairy.

the second legend has it that during the yuan dynasty, an
underground group led by zhu yuan zang was determined to
rid the country of mongolian dominance. the moon cake was
created to carry a secret message. when the cake was opened
and the message read, an uprising was unleashed which
successfully routed the mongolians. it happened at the time of
the full moon, which, some say, explains why mooncakes are
eaten at this time.

mooncakes are usually stamped with chinese characters
indicating the name of the bakery and the type of filling used.
some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so
that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. they
are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four
phases of the moon. traditional mooncakes are made with
melted lard, but today vegetable oil is more often used in the
interests of health.

mooncakes are not for the diet- conscious as they are loaded
with calories. the best way to wash down one of these sticky
cakes is with a cup of chinese tea, especially jasmine or
chrysanthemum tea, which aids the digestion.

中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样,是必不可少的.圆 圆
的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅,馅的中央还会加上一个
金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月 亮.而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题.每年农历
8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋,据说这一天的月亮是一年中 最亮最圆的.
今年的中秋节恰好是阳历的10月1日(中国的国庆日).

关于吃月 饼这个传统的来历有两个传说.一个是唐朝的神话故事,说的
是当时地球被10个太阳包围着.有一天1 0个太阳同时出现在天空中,
巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了.多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9
个太阳,地球才被保住.为了奖励后羿,王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老
药,但是王母警告他必须正当 使用.然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告,

他被名利冲昏了头脑,变成了一个暴君.后羿美丽 的妻子嫦娥对他的暴
行再也不能袖手旁观,于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药,飞到月亮上逃

避后羿的狂怒.从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥,这个月亮上的美丽女人
的传说.

第二个传说讲的是在元朝,朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古
族的统治.他们用月饼来 传递密信.掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信,起
义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义,赶走了元朝的统治 者.这场起义
发生在八月十五之时,于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来.
