The Mid-Autumn Festival
Date:
The Mid-Autumn Festival, or the Moon Festival, traditionally takes place in late September or early October.
Origin:
It began in ancient times as both a harvest festival and a way to honour the moon. The story of Chang’e is often linked to the celebration of this festival.
Meaning:
The full moon is a symbol for family reunion, which is why that day is also known as the Festival of Reunion.
Activities:
Eating mooncakes
Mooncake is the most traditional and important food of the festival. The deliciously filled cake is round in shape like the full moon, which is a symbol of prosperity and family reunion.
Admiring the full moon
Traditionally, on Mid-Autumn Day, Chinese family members and friends will get together to admire the bright mid-autumn moon.

Taking place on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year, the Lantern Festival is generally celebrated in February or March.

During the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), more than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wen ordered that the 15th day of the first lunar month be dedicated to the Lantern Festival.
Activities:
Appreciating the beauty of lanterns:
It is a tradition that people hang lanterns everywhere. People will come out and appreciate the beautiful scene.
Guessing lantern riddles:
Riddles written on the lanterns can inspire wisdom and cater to the festival atmosphere, so many people like the activity very much.
Eating yuanxiao:
Yuanxiao is a dumpling ball made of sticky rice flour stuffed with different fillings. Yuanxiao is round in shape so it is endowed with the meaning of reunion, harmony and happiness.

Example:
I love celebrating the Spring Festival, which is the most important festival for Chinese people. It is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. Strictly speaking, it starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the middle of the 1st lunar month. A series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days. The Spring Festival comes to an end when the Lantern Festival finishes.
