What is the Mid-Autumn Festival?

The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the end of autumn harvest. At the same time, it is also when the moon shines its brightest. During this time, there are lots of Mid-Autumn Festival decorations like lanterns on display, as well as eating mooncakes. 

This celebration comes with many legends around it, the most famous of which involves Chang-E. She is the wife of archer Hou Yi, who shot down nine of the 10 suns to save the people on Earth. 

Hou Yi received a bottle of elixir which could make him immortal. But he wanted to stay with Chang-E, so he asked her to safekeep it.

However, one of Hou Yi’s students wanted to steal it, so Chang-E drank the elixir instead. She rose higher and higher until she reached the moon and stayed there forever.

So during the festival, people eat mooncakes in her honour just like how Hou Yi offered mooncakes in the hope of seeing her.
