Mid-autumn Day

With long history, there are many customs and traditions around China. The 15th day of the eighth lunar(阴历）month is Mid-autumn Festival, it is the most important festival besides the Spring Festival. Mid-autumn Festival is in the middle of the autumn just as the name tells. On the night of the day, the moon is always the fullest and the most brilliant. People regard full moon as reunion(团圆）, so it always is called "the reunion day", so many people who travels in a place far away from home always go back to their home to celebrate the festival, they usually eat moon cakes and sit in the open air to enjoy the beautiful moon. Many people wrote down poems to describe it. Such as Li Bai's "hang my head at the bright moon, bow my head missing my hometown" Du Fu's " moon is the brightest in my hometown." and Wang'anshi's "the spring turns the southern bank green, when can I return home with the moon?"
