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. 中秋节是中国重要性仅次于春节的第二大传统节日，庆祝时间为每年的农历八月十五。根据中国传统历法，一年分春、夏、秋、冬四季，每季分为三个阶段，农历八月为秋季的第二个月，称为仲秋，而农历八月十五为仲秋之中，故称中秋。 　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. 中秋节源自古人对月亮的祭祀与崇拜。西汉的文献中便有嫦娥奔月、吴刚伐桂的记载，而节日的形成源自宋代，明清时，中秋节已成为重要的节日。 中秋节的词汇 中秋节 Mid-Autumn Day农历 Chinese lunar calendar满月 full moon秋分前后的满月 harvest moon赏月 appreciating the moon拜月 moon worship相聚 gathering家人团圆 family reunion月饼 mooncake孔明灯 Kongming lantern桂花酒 cassia wine 仪式 ritual舞龙舞狮 dragon and lion dances灯谜 lantern riddles 中秋节的祝福 　　1. 愿月亮的光辉围绕着你，照亮你通往健康、幸福和繁荣的道路。 May the glow of the moon surround you and light your way to health, happiness and prosperity. 2. 愿您幸福快乐到永远。 I wish you happiness forever. 3. 无论你在何处，有份祝福永远挂在我心中，祝你一切顺利。 No matter where you are, all those blessings always keep in my mind.
