Subject: Introduction to the Mid-Autumn Festival
Dear John,
I'm thrilled to hear about your interest in Chinese traditional culture. I would love to introduce you to the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has been celebrated for over 3,000 years. It originates from ancient Chinese moon worship and is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month when the moon is at its fullest. This festival symbolizes family reunion and harmony.
People celebrate by gathering with family and friends to admire the full moon and enjoy mooncakes, a traditional pastry. Additionally, lanterns are lit and dragon and lion dances are performed in some regions.
I hope this gives you a good introduction to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
Like |
