I am gonna introduce my favorite
traditional festival in Taiwan – Moon Festival.
The date of this festival is on 8/15 of the
lunar calendar. In this day, every member of a family will get together and
enjoy watching the full moon. We eat moon cake in that day, and the most
important and popular activity is BBQ!!!!!!! This is the reason why I love Moon
Festival. For me, every year when the date is coming, I am so excited to invite
my friends to BBQ, and it’s not only just has once, we can have BBQ party many
times around those days.
According to Chinese mythology, in the
ancient, there had 10 suns in the world. One day, all of suns raised on the
sky, and let the earth scorching. An archer named Hou-Yi shot down the nine of
them and saved people’s life. Then he got a elixir (a kind of medicine that can
make him live forever). But his wife Chang-E drank it. Then she became a celestial.
Thus started the legend of the woman in the moon that people would pray on the
Moon Festival.
