SUMMARY:Mid-Autumn Festival
DESCRIPTION:中秋节：15th of the eighth lunar month
 It is second only 
  to the Chinese New Year in significance. The moon on this day is the 
  fullest and largest to the eye. Viewing it by the whole family while 
  feasting on good wine\, fruits and moon-cakes features the night event. 
  There is also a beautiful story behind it. Children are told that there's 
  fairy on the moon living in a spacious but cold crystal palace with her 
  sole companion\, a jade rabbit. A heavenly general and friend would 
  occasionally pay her a visit\, bringing along his fragrant wine. She 
  would then dance a beautiful dance. The shadows on the moon made the 
  story all the more credible and fascinating to the young imaginative 
  minds.
