When I ate dinner, I buried my head to eat, simply a little bit like wolf. In a short while, I was the first to eat a good meal. I immediately went to make preparations for moon watching.
Waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting, I was never able to unveil the magical veil of the moon. I can't help but think of the story of Chang'e's journey to the moon, and how the 15th of August was designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival in honor of Chang'e, when people look forward to reunion. It also reminds me of a popular poem "Silent Night Thoughts", which reads: "The light of the moon before the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. The moonlight in front of the bed is bright, and it is suspected that it is frost on the ground. This poem shows the poet Li Bai's feelings of homesickness. It reminds me from time to time of the soldiers stationed at the border who can't be reunited with their families during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The moon has not yet shown its true colors, and I want to see what the book says: how round, bright, big and beautiful the Mid-Autumn Moon is! I was puzzled to ask my parents, it turns out that my is affected by the 13th typhoon "Senlak". Although I didn't get to see the Mid-Autumn Moon as much as I would have liked, I was still very happy.
The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival is also said to be the time when the people to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Yuan Dynasty to "kill boots, the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty; August 15, family hands together," the note put into the mooncake each other! On August 15th, the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by the people. Maybe we eat mooncakes now to celebrate the joy of victory! Some people say that the Mid-Autumn Festival is the season of harvest, and it is the farmers who experience the joy and happiness of enjoying the harvest!
The Mid-Autumn Festival is happy, a symbol of reunion, a symbol full of joy, let us *** with the joy of this "meaningful" "Mid-Autumn Festival! It!
------------------------
The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was so full. People always say that the moon is full on the fifteenth day of the month, but this year the moon was fuller on the fifteenth day of the eighth month. But this year, the moon was fuller on August 15th than on August 16th. There were also so many stars, the countless stars around the full moon. Some stars like to be alone, but when they see the round moon, they also want to lean over there, it seems that all the stars are the moon's children, on this day, they come from different directions to be reunited with the moon.
Many people are unable to reunite with their families because they are busy with their work. When they stand in front of the window and stare at the moon, they may think of Li Bai's "The moon flies under the heavenly mirror, and the clouds are born in the sea", or Su Shi's "When is the bright moon? When you look at the moon, you may think of Li Bai's "Flying sky mirror under the moon", Su Shi's "When is the bright moon? ------ homesickness, homesickness, the moon always have endless words, that's because the moon is also stuffed with thoughts of loved ones, no wonder the moon is so round. Mooncakes also symbolize reunion. Whenever people eat mooncakes, they not only taste the sweet flavor of mooncakes, but also miss their loved ones. At the same time, they enjoy the warmth of the love they receive from their loved ones.
Hours ago, my mom always told me the story of Chang'e, I listened to it many times, but I still can't get tired of listening to it. As long as the story is about the moon I feel novel, always yearning for the day I can also fly to the sky, fly to the moon and Chang'e to play with, watch the stars together.
When I grow up and look at it again, it's not so marvelous. If you go back to the past, you will educate yourself at that time "to go to the sky is not so easy, there is no Chang'e in the sky, there is no water on the moon, the temperature difference is very big, it is impossible to live ......". But suddenly I remembered: my childhood self was also quite cute. I'd better keep that imaginary space for myself!
On this night of the full moon, we send everyone the blessing of love. It is this love that makes the moon fuller and people closer.
In this ancient tradition under the influence of our country has always had such a custom every Mid-Autumn Festival families eat a reunion dinner, so that many friends and relatives in today's gathering together, this is a very exciting thing. This makes many people in the field and returned to the warmth of home, enjoy the warmth of home since ancient times, how many people living in other parts of the country travelers are always outside this makes people commonly used to describe people's "sadness and happiness" which makes how many people heartbreaking! Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's "Raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think of your hometown", Du Fu's "The dew is white from tonight, the moon is the hometown bright", Song Dynasty Wang Anshi's "The spring breeze is green again on the banks of the south of the Yangtze River, when will the bright moon shine on me again? When will the bright moon shine on my return?" and other poems, which have been sung throughout the ages! Many travelers do not use the moon to express their deep feelings for their hometowns, care for their loved ones and miss them! All over China, there are still many "moon worship altar" Su Dongpo wrote a poem: "small cakes such as chewing the moon, there are crispy and syrup", Yang Guangfu in the Qing Dynasty wrote: "moon cakes full of peach filling, ice cream sweet laying cane sugar frosting! The mooncake is filled with peach and meat filling, and the ice-cream is sweetened with sugar cream." In the "Moon Worship Pavilion", Su Dongpo wrote a poem: "Small cakes are like chewing the moon, with crispy and syrupy ingredients", and Yang Guangfu of the Qing Dynasty wrote: "Moon cakes are filled with peaches and meat, and ice-cream is sweetened with cane sugar frosting". Monuments of "Moon Watch Tower". The "Altar of the Moon" in Beijing was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty for the royal moon festival. Nowadays, most of the people sit around the table to eat cakes and enjoy the moon!
------------------------------------------
Everyone has seen the moon, and the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival is fuller and more intimate, like a cute little doll.
After watching the CCTV news broadcast, the whole family stepped out to enjoy the moon. The moon is so bright tonight! The civic square is a cheer. The face of the round, round moon looks like my cute little sister. The moon saw a lot of people looking at her and shyly hid her body slowly behind the cloud mother like a little doll. The cloud mom saw it and said, "Don't be shy, go out and play a little, there are many children looking at you waiting for you." The moon doll, after repeated persuasion by the cloud mother, finally peeked out from behind the cloud mother little by little, revealing a joyful smiling face, so innocent, so lovely. We cheered again! Who knows, in the midst of our cheers, the moon doll was shy again, half of its face revealed, half of its face again hidden behind the cloud mother.
I anxiously looked at ah, looking forward to ah hope ...... after a long, long time, it is late at night 10:30, the strange thing is that the moon is still as shy as a doll, hiding in the clouds behind the mother refused to come out it!
After a while, the breeze blew, the cloud mother to the north moved body. Finally, the moon doll bravely looked at us, fully revealing her chubby, round, smiling face. Moon doll walks in the deep blue deep blue night sky, to the people who enjoy the moon brings light, longing, joy ......
Autumn, tender season, the leaves accidentally fall; August, a thick month, osmanthus fragrance floating in the atmosphere of joy. August mid-autumn, embellished the whole long and lifeless autumn, make the autumn more charming. Under the osmanthus tree, make a pot of tea, in the joyful atmosphere and friends and family to chat with no fear, this is the hometown of August mid-autumn the most beautiful time.
The year's Mid-Autumn Festival is always around the National Day, which can be happy for us children, because the school usually on Saturday and Sunday can not be, and then come to a special holiday, so that we can play to our heart's content. Adults are also happy because they can have a good reunion with their families. So, the atmosphere was melting without realizing it. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, people start to be busy, buying clothes for children, preparing for ancestor worship, buying mooncakes, firecrackers, and so on and so forth. In my hometown, people don't buy hardcover mooncakes, they usually buy mooncakes made by their own townspeople in some neighborhood bakeries, which are not decorated beautifully, but are affordable, at 2 yuan a piece, with eggs inside. But even though it was cheap, in the poor land of my hometown, it was considered a luxury. When I was a kid, I loved these mooncakes so much that I used to plead with my mom to cut them up for me because of their golden color. As a result, my throat was hoarse the next day, so I couldn't eat it. But often can not help but go to steal food, or bear the pain and shout, in order to deceive mom and dad throat does not hurt, and later in a conversation learned that my mother then was aware of my throat is still painful, but still give me to eat. Now that I think about it, I think it's funny. While eating it, I also used to fight with my sister over the size of the eggs, and usually ended up getting beaten up by mom and dad and having a bad time. When eating mooncakes, I didn't use a knife or fork, and I didn't chew slowly like a gentleman, so I would be treated as a different person in the village - this kid is pretending to be civilized for me! Usually we are swallowing, no matter what the manners, have to eat, eat more on the scenery. Finally, swallowed, with a hand over the throat scared turn, then mom will give me tea, let me slowly quench my thirst, but also patted me on the back and said: what's the hurry ah! The family has not let you eat poor. Now that I think about it, it was probably the desire for mooncakes at that time! After all, in ordinary life on rarely have. Now moved into the city, pretending to be civilized, feel sorry for the hometown, and then go back home to see, found that everyone is the same, are affected by the "civilization of the times", will not blame themselves.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the hometown in the first few days of the accumulated bustle to burst out. In the morning, children were running around in their new clothes, and they didn't eat much breakfast because they had to worship their ancestors at noon, so they saved their stomachs for the "big meal". In fact, for us now is not a big meal, but for those children is different, parents in this day will not care about you, you only care to play, play tired to go home to have something to eat, which is very good, in the usual is not so good. After the ancestor worship will be "ancestor furnace" removed, and then began to eat the sacrificial things, meaning that the ancestors want to eat, the family then eat, to show respect for the ancestors. After eating, when the adults are still cleaning up the dishes, the children are already in bed, because they have to stay up late at night to enjoy the moon, which is very important in their minds. After the adults clean up the chopsticks, they go to prepare for the moon worship and the moon viewing at night, and then finally they go to bed with the children to wait for the beautiful night. At about 7:30 pm, people set up their own tables on the street, put mooncakes and some food on the tables, and start to worship the moon. The whole street is very lively and adults and children are very happy. At this time, we would visit other places in the village or go to set off firecrackers. Our village was huge, with about 10,000 people, and a few of our buddies would take this time to wander around the whole village and casually go set off firecrackers. When we came across people on the way who threw firecrackers at us in a mischievous way, we would throw them back. But this is rare, we usually go to the back of the village on a mound, see young men and women in the embrace, next to a firecracker, "pop" sound, the female scared, to the boy jumped over, shyly snuggling, and then turned back to whisper: brats! We would snicker. But not always a "matchmaker", sometimes we would scare people when they hugged, and was chased away, but still think it's fun. When shopping, see other people's moon cakes on the table outside, think it's very delicious, can not help but point, then in the same village sisters will be called back to the small ones don't disgrace conspicuous, think, must have been laughed off by others a lot of big teeth. After shopping back, just after the worship, began to eat, fruit ah, moon cake ah, drink ah, eat indiscriminately, crazy eat, anyway, no one blame us. In the yard, the adults brought out the tea set and started making Gongfu tea, and set the mooncakes on the table to enjoy with the children. The children ate the mooncakes and ran happily around the yard, playing games, drinking tea and eating mooncakes when they were tired. Adults just talked about the world, chatting about the family, the atmosphere was very good. It was late, some children had fallen asleep in their mothers' arms, and those who didn't were lucky enough to eat the delicious noodles ......
Finally, the countryside was glowing with mid-autumn decorations as the old lamps were extinguished ......
