On this day, people sit under the moon to enjoy the moonlight and eat moon cakes. Well, taking advantage of today's Mid-Autumn Festival, our family also began to enjoy the moonlight and eat moon cakes.
Our whole family stood around the balcony and divided the happy moon cakes into several pieces and shared them. At this moment, I looked at the distant moon. Although it is said that "the moon is particularly beautiful in the Mid-Autumn Festival", today's moon seems to be surrounded by this melancholy cloud called "missing". At this time, I remembered my good friend Vivi who was far away from home. "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is full of ups and downs. This matter is difficult to complete in ancient times." This sentence describes my mood at this time. I wonder if she is also looking at the moon and thinking of me far away from home? It's just that the moon seems to have read my mind, and that gloomy cloud has disappeared, as if telling me not to be too sad. Now the moon is particularly bright. The full moon hangs high in the sky like a snowball, and the bright moonlight pours down to the earth like water. A few pale, gauze-like clouds accompanied her, just like a fairy dancing a scarf. Moonlight filled my clothes and warmed my heart. I think the warmth of the sun is too warm and unrestrained; The starlight is lonely and cold again; Only this gentle and quiet moonlight can be so just right. My surroundings are illuminated by moonlight. The moonlight hung down through the mottled gaps in the trees and spread a layer of broken silver on the ground. The moonlight cast mottled shadows on the trees. The sparse beautiful images of graceful willows, not to mention how beautiful.
Dad told me that the 15th day of the eighth lunar month is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. In China's lunar calendar, a year is divided into four seasons, and each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so Mid-Autumn Festival is also called Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon on August 15th is rounder and brighter than the full moons in other months, so it is also called "Moon Night" and "August Festival". On this night, people look up at the bright moon in the sky like jade, and naturally look forward to family reunion. Wanderers who are far away from home also take this opportunity to pin their thoughts on their hometown and relatives. Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Reunion Festival". On the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to legend, if you look closely, you will find there are black shadows in it, that is, Chang 'e, WU GANG, Jade Rabbit and osmanthus tree in Guanghan Palace.
I stared at the moon, chewing sweet moon cakes, listening to my father telling the legend of the moon, and I remembered my good friends in my hometown until very late ...
