Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional folk festival in China. On the 15th of the lunar calendar every year, it is also known as the Reunion Festival. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter how busy people are, they have to go home to see their parents and relatives, the whole family get together, eat moon cakes, enjoy the moon, and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

One day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I walked on the way home from school. The aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus floated with the autumn wind. I smelled the intoxicating floral fragrance, and I only felt the aroma of the nose, as if I was surrounded by a sweet-scented osmanthus forest. Oh! August sweet-scented osmanthus, the original Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is also fragrant.

When I got home, it was a tempting aroma. I fixed my eyes and saw that my father and mother were eating moon cakes. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has not arrived yet, there are already several boxes of moon cakes in the family. Sent. Mom and Dad said that mooncakes should be eaten quickly, and not all of them should be left to the Mid-Autumn Festival. I washed my hand and picked a peach cake with a peach flavor and took a bite, ah! Really tasty. The crust is very soft, and the interior is fresh and fragrant. It is delicious. I quickly finished eating one.

The sky was getting dark, and I took a cantaloupe-flavored mooncake and ran to the balcony to see the moon. Today is not the Mid-Autumn Night, but at this time, the moon has almost become a circle. I saw it shuttle between the clouds, hiding behind the clouds for a while, like a shy little girl; after a while, I drew it out and opened our mouths and smiled happily. It was like a naughty little doll playing hide and seek with us. Seeing this scene, I can't help but think of a Song word that we have learned, that is Su Shi's "Water Melody":

When is the moon,

Ask the wine for the sky.

I don’t know the heavenly palace,

What year is it?

I want to go home by the wind,

Also afraid of Qionglou Yuyu,

The height is not cold.

Dance and clear the shadows,

What seems to be in the world.

Turn Zhuge, low tenants,

There should be no hate, what should be long-term?

People have joys and sorrows,

There is a lack of cloudy and sunny months.

This matter is difficult.

I hope that people will last for a long time.

Thousands of miles together.

This poem describes the poet Su Dongpo looking at the moon to miss his loved ones and hometown, and that day is the Mid-Autumn Festival night! Su Dongpo was sad because he was sent to Mizhou and could not return home to reunion! Like him, I hope that every Mid-Autumn Festival, every family can reunite together, eat moon cakes and enjoy the moon, and live a happy life.

I think that nowadays transportation is developed, we have advanced transportation. It doesn't have to be like Su Dongpo. It takes many days, even months, to go back home. People who are in a foreign land, if they want to go home, take a boat, car, train, plane, and will soon be able to return home. If you are really busy and can't go home, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, remember to call your parents and relatives and send an E-mail greeting. The people of the moon must reunite!

The moon at this time seems to know that I am watching it, becoming bigger and brighter.

I have a Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
