Mid-Autumn festival/ 中秋節

中秋節，又稱月夕，是東亞地區的主要節日，以慶祝秋收，也有地方祭拜月亮。在每年的中秋節、大家都會聽到許多關於中秋節的神話與寓言。其中最為盛傳的就是嫦娥的故事。嫦娥是殘酷皇帝的王妃，皇帝打算飲用長生水以得到長生，但嫦娥爲了避免百姓被長期的壓迫而飲下長生水，進而化作飛仙變成月亮仙子。而後人們可能覺得嫦娥一個人太無聊、又說她很喜歡兔子所以養了一些兔子陪伴⋯⋯

Mid-Autumn Festival, also called “Moon Festival”, is celebrated in East Asia to mark the fall harvest and, to some, to offer traditional worship to the moon.There are many ancient myths and fables connected to Mid-Autumn Festival. The most commonly told legend is the legend of Chang’e, she is the wife of a cruel emperor who is planning to drink a magic elixir that will make him live forever. To prevent everlasting oppression, she drinks the elixir herself and then flies off to become the moon goddess. Then, the story has extended to Chang’e likes rabbits(probably she was too lonely?), so she had adopted some rabbits to live with her at the moon...（Don’t ask me how the rabbits got to the moon because no one can really answer you that!)
