Every
in September
or October,
the Mid-autumn
Festival is celebrated(庆祝）by Chinese people all over
the world. On this day, the moon is said to (据说）be at
its biggest and brightest in the year and ‘moon
cakes’ are eaten(吃）at moon viewing parties. The
Mid-autumn Festival is important because it is a
special occasion for family reunion. Millions of people
make the journey back home to share the feeling of
‘being together’ with all members of the family.
Traditional moon cakes are made (制造）with bean
paste and salted egg yokes but nowadays there are
many different kinds of moon cakes including icecream, coffee, chocolate and even fruit moon cakes.

The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of
the lunar calendar. It is celebrated with customs
that started more than 200 years ago. In the old
days, dragon boat races were held (举行）only by
Chinesepeople. However, in resent years, people
from other cultures have also taken part in the
races and enjoyed the fun. The special food for the
festival is called (称为)Zongzi. Sticky rice,
wrapped in fresh bamboo
leaves, is streamed (蒸)with a sweet or salty filling.
As the Dragon Boat Festival is in early summer, it
also marks the beginning of the hottest season of
the year.
