不同地方有不同的风俗，但是都表达出人们对美好生活的爱和期望。如今人们在中秋节那天都会赏月并吃月饼。

The moon looks extremely round, big and bright on the 15th day of each lunar month. People selected the August 15 to celebrate because it is a season when crops and fruits are all ripe and weather pleasant. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, all family members or friends meet outside, putting food on tables and looking up at the sky while talking about life. How splendid a moment it is!
