In this week’s blog, I will be talking about the moon festival. However, the moon festival isn\u2019t the only name the festival has. Its also commonly knows as the mid-autumn festival and the lantern festival. The festival gets its name from always being in mid-autumn. The festival also has a few legends accompanying it. Some of these legends are the legend Chang E Flying to the Moon, Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine, Wu Gang Chopping Laurel Tree, and Zhu Yuanzhang and the Moon Cake Uprising.\u00a0I personally only heard the first legends before searching why do we celebrate the moon festival. After some, researching I learned about the legends and why we have this festival. In the beginning, the festival was supposed to celebrate the summer harvest.<\/p>\n
For this year’s moon festival, my family held a moon festival dinner. Some family and family friends were invited to celebrate. The one who actually cooked all of the food was my grampa. He made a bunch of Chinese dishes. Some dishes were beef, fish, tofu, and more. While my grampa was cooking dinner, most of the guest were watching Spiderman Homecoming. Unfortunately, I was upstairs studying for an upcoming science test. Because of this, I didn’t go downstairs until dinner was ready. After dinner, I did a bit more studying and stayed downstairs for a while. Soon we had mooncake and a tofu dessert. Soon most of the guest had to leave because it was a school day tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Overall, I really enjoyed the meal and learning about the moon festival. Before this, there was one time in school where I learned about the legend Chang E Flying to the Moon. Unfortunately, I forgot most of it. After researching, I relearned the legend Chang E Flying to the Moon and learned about other legends. In the end, I had a good meal and learned a bit more about my culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
