中秋节英文the Mid-autumn Festival。

中秋节，又称祭月节、月光诞、月夕、秋节、仲秋节、拜月节、月娘节、月亮节、团圆节等，是中国民间的传统节日。中秋节源自天象崇拜，由上古时代秋夕祭月演变而来。

最初“祭月节”的节期是在干支历二十四节气“秋分”这天，后来才调至夏历（农历）八月十五，也有些地方将中秋节定在夏历八月十六。中秋节自古便有祭月、赏月、吃月饼、玩花灯、赏桂花、饮桂花酒等民俗，流传至今，经久不息。

起源

中秋节是上古天象崇拜——敬月习俗的遗痕。在二十四节气“秋分”时节，是古老的“祭月节”，中秋节则是由传统的“祭月”而来。在传统文化中，月亮和太阳一样，这两个交替出现的天体成了先民崇拜的对象。中秋节庆源自古人对月亮的祭祀，是中华民族祭月习俗的遗存和衍生。

祭月，在我国是一种十分古老的习俗，实际上是古时代我国一些地方古人对“月神”的一种崇拜活动。

据考证，最初“祭月节”是定在干支历二十四节气“秋分”这天，不过由于历史发展，后来历法融合，使用阴历（夏历），所以将“祭月节”由干支历二十四节气“秋分”调至夏历（农历）八月十五。中秋节是秋季时令习俗的综合，其所包含的节俗因素，大都有古老的渊源。

中秋节，又称月夕、八月节、八月会、追月节、玩月节、拜月节、女儿节或团圆节，是流行于中国众多民族与汉字文化圈诸国的传统文化节日，时在农历八月十五；因其恰值三秋之半，故名，也有些地方将中秋节定在八月十六。

中秋节始于唐朝初年，盛行于宋朝，至明清时，已成为与春节齐名的中国传统节日之一。受中华文化的影响，中秋节也是东亚和东南亚一些国家尤其是当地的华人华侨的传统节日。自2008年起中秋节被列为国家法定节假日。

1.The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festivity for both the Han and minority nationalities. The custom of worshipping the moon can be traced back as far as the ancient Xia and Shang Dynasties (2000 B.C.-1066 B.C.). In the Zhou Dynasty(1066 B.C.-221 B.C.), people hold ceremonies to greet winter and worship the moon whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival sets in. It becomes very prevalent in the Tang Dynasty(618-907 A.D.) that people enjoy and worship the full moon. In the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279 A.D.), however, people send round moon cakes to their relatives as gifts in expression of their best wishes of family reunion. When it becomes dark, they look up at the full silver moon or go sightseeing on lakes to celebrate the festival. Since the Ming (1368-1644 A.D. ) and Qing Dynasties (1644-1911A.D.), the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival celebration becomes unprecedented popular. Together with the celebration there appear some special customs in different parts of the country, such as burning incense（熏香）, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting lanterns on towers and fire dragon dances. However, the custom of playing under the moon is not so popular as it used to be nowadays, but it is not less popular to enjoy the bright silver moon. Whenever the festival sets in, people will look up at the full silver moon, drinking wine to celebrate their happy life or thinking of their relatives and friends far from home, and extending all of their best wishes to them. 2.Mid-Autumn Day I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China. Everybody likes it because it's a family get-together. You see it is called "Mid-Autumn Day", so it often comes in September or October. It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month. Now, let's say something about this interesting festival. Firstly, I'd like to say something about the moon. I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future. That day the moon is round, big, just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth. When I see the moon, I will remember the ancient myths——the goddess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows. I will also think about Armstrong's first moonwalk. I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan Island, in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad. I know they are missing us very much, too. Secondly, I'11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day. Look！There's a big tree in a garden of a Chinese family. All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air. They are eating the moon cakes and admiring the full moon in the sky. That is a family reunion dinner. The moon cakes and the moon represent the love from a family. I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world. Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day. My wishes are: the first, I, an astronaut in the future, would like to go to the moon one day, and stay with the sky and stars; the second, I hope every person in the world will stay with family, share love from the family forever; the third, I hope everybody's dream will come true. That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind. I will always re-member: East or West, home is best.
