有些对中国文化不太了解的外国朋友可能还不知道中秋节是什么意思，那我们今天就来聊聊，在中国大家都是怎样庆祝中秋节的吧～
Some foreign friends who don't know much about Chinese culture may not know what the Mid-Autumn Festival means, so let's talk about it today, how do people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in China~

中秋节，是中国除春节外最重要的节日，因在农历八月十五庆祝，因此得名。
Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhongqiu Jie (中秋节) in Chinese, is the second most important festival in China after Chinese New Year. It is named so for that it is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, which is always in the middle of the autumn season in China.

中秋节也被称为祭月节或月饼节，因为这一天的月亮被认为是一年中最圆最亮的，所以人们会在这一天祭拜、欣赏满月，品尝月饼。
It is also called the Moon Festival or the Mooncake Festival, as at that time of the year the moon is believed to be at its fullest and brightest and Chinese always worship and appreciate the full moon and enjoy mooncakes on that day. 

其实，在中国，关于中秋节还有一段美好传说——嫦娥奔月。
In fact, in China, there is a beautiful legend about the Mid-Autumn Festival - Chang E flying to the moon.

远古时候天上会有十个太阳同时出现，晒得庄稼枯死，民不聊生。后来一个名叫后羿的英雄射下了其中九个，因此得到了长生不老药，但他不愿自己一人成仙，就将丹药交予妻子嫦娥保管。不料此事却被后羿一个心怀鬼胎的徒弟知道了，他潜入家中，逼迫嫦娥交出丹药，无奈之下，嫦娥吃了丹药，化作了神仙，轻飘飘地飞向了空中。因为不想离开丈夫，她选择飞到离地球最近的地方——月亮。后羿为了与妻子团圆，此后每逢八月十五都会用月饼祭拜月亮。
In ancient times, ten suns would appear in the sky at the same time, burning the crops to wither and die. People have no way of making a living. Later, a hero named Hou Yi shot down the extra nine suns, and for that, he was rewarded the elixir of immortality. But he would not like become immortal alone and left his wife to live in the heaven, so he gave the elixir to Chang E to keep it well. Unfortunately, one of Hou Yi’s followers got to know it. One a 15th day of the 8th lunar month when Hou Yi went out hunting, that follower sneaked into Hou Yi and Cheng E’s home and forced Chang E to hand over the elixir. Unhelpfully, Chang E ate the elixir, became an immortal and uncontrollably left the earth for the heaven. As she didn’t want to leave her husband, she flew to the moon, the closest place to the earth in the heaven. Hou Yi, in hope of reunion, presented the mooncakes on every 15th day of the 8th lunar month since then.  

传说月亮上还有一只兔子与嫦娥作伴，浑身洁白如玉，故称“玉兔”。随着时间的流逝，玉兔也成为了中国文化中月亮的代名词。
Legend has it that there is a rabbit to accompany Chang E on the moon, white as jade, so it is called ‘jade rabbit’. As time passed, the jade rabbit became synonymous with the moon in Chinese culture.
在中国，中秋节是庆祝五谷丰收的节日，所以人们借此机会来感恩收获，也祈盼来年的丰收。
In China, Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration of the rice harvest and many fruits. Ceremonies are held both to give thanks for the harvest and to encourage the harvest-giving light to return again in the coming year.
