Mid-Autumn Festival, held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, falls on Tuesday this year,which in olden times was viewed as a natural guardian constantly and peacefully watching over all living beings. 

  本周二恰逢农历八月十五日中秋节。在古代，月亮被视为一个自然的守护者，不断地和平地注视着所有的生命。       

  Nowadays, the festival is a chance to marvel at the moon and indulge in reverie.

  现在，这个节日是一个欣赏月亮和沉浸在遐想中的机会。

  When the full moon rises, the family would place a table in the yard, and lay out grain, fruits and, last but not least, mooncakes,the traditional pastry in the shape of the full moon often gifted to families as an expression of goodwill. 

  当满月升起时，一家人会在院子里摆一张桌子，摆上谷物、水果，最后也是最重要的是月饼。月饼是一种传统的月饼形状的糕点，通常是送给家人的，以表达友好。
