The August Moon Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival (Chinese characters above) is one of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Chinese legends say that the moon is at its brightest and roundest on this day. Based on the Gregorian calendar, this year's August Moon Festival will be held on September 12.

中秋節(jié)是中國(guó)人的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日之一，每年農(nóng)歷8月15日慶祝。傳說(shuō)月亮在這一天最大最圓。根據(jù)推算，今年公歷9月12日為中秋節(jié)。

The August Moon Festival is often called the Women's Festival. The moon (Chinese character on right) symbolizes elegance and beauty. While Westerners worship the sun (yang or male) for its power, people in the Far East admire the moon. The moon is the 'yin' or female principle and it is a trusted friend. Chinese parents often name their daughters after the moon, in hope that they will be as lovely as the moon.

中秋節(jié)也被稱(chēng)為女人的節(jié)日，月（漢字部首）象征著優(yōu)雅與美麗。而西方人則崇尚太陽(yáng)（陽(yáng)剛或男性）的力量，東亞地區(qū)的人們則崇尚月亮。月亮代表“陰”或女性，并且被看做是可靠的朋友。中國(guó)的父母總喜歡以“月”為女兒取名，為的是希望她們像月亮一樣可愛(ài)。

The Moon FairyLady - 'Chang Er'

月亮仙子——嫦娥

In fact, many ancient August Moon folktales are about a moon maiden. On the 15th night of the 8th lunar moon, little children on earth can see a lady on the moon.

實(shí)際上，古代很多關(guān)于八月月圓的故事都跟一位月亮仙子有關(guān)。在陰歷8月15的晚上，小孩子都能看到月亮上有一位女子。

The story about the lady took place around 2170 B.C. At that time, the earth had ten suns circling it, each taking its turn to illuminate to the earth. But one day all ten suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. The earth was saved by a strong and tyrannical archer named Hou Yi. He succeeded in shooting down nine of the suns. One day, Hou Yi stole the elixir of life from a goddess. However, his beautiful wife Chang E drank the elixir of life in order to save the people from her husband's tyrannical rule. After drinking it, she found herself floating and flew all the way to the moon. Hou Yi loved his divinely beautiful wife so much, he refused to shoot down the moon.

這個(gè)故事發(fā)生在公元前2170年左右，那個(gè)時(shí)候，天上有十個(gè)太陽(yáng)，它們輪流照亮地上。但有一天，十個(gè)太陽(yáng)一同出現(xiàn)，他們發(fā)出的熱量燒焦了地上的作物。一位身強(qiáng)體壯、性格暴虐名叫后羿的弓箭手拯救了人間。他成功接連射落九個(gè)太陽(yáng)。有一天，后羿偷了一位神仙的長(zhǎng)生不老藥。而他美麗的妻子嫦娥為了幫助人們脫離他暴虐的統(tǒng)治偷偷喝下了長(zhǎng)生不老藥。喝下藥之后他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己飄浮起來(lái)并飛向了月亮。后裔十分愛(ài)他美若天仙的妻子，他不忍心將她從月亮上射落。

People believed that the lady was a god who lived in the moon that made the moon shine. Girls who wanted to be a beauty and have a handsome husband should worship the moon. And on this magical occasion, children who make wishes to the Lady on the Moon will find their dreams come true.

人們認(rèn)為嫦娥是住在月亮上的仙子，所以月亮才會(huì)發(fā)光。女孩子如果想要變得漂亮并且有一位如意郎君都要供奉月亮。而中秋之時(shí)，孩子們都會(huì)向月亮仙子許愿祈求他們能夠夢(mèng)想成真。

The wood cutter - Wu Kang

伐木人——吳剛

Wu Kang was a shiftless fellow who changed apprenticeships all the time. One day he decided that he wanted to be an immortal, so he went to live in the mountains where he importuned an immortal to teach him. First the immortal taught him about the herbs used to cure sickness, but after three days his characteristic restlessness returned and Wu Kang asked the immortal to teach him something else. So the immortal taught him chess, but after a short while Wu Kang's enthusiasm again waned. Then Wu Kang was given the books of immortality to study. Of course, Wu Kang became bored within a few days, and asked if they could travel to some new and exciting place. Angered with Wu Kang's impatience, the master banished Wu Kang to the Moon Palace telling him that he must cut down a huge cassia tree before he could return to earth. Though Wu Kang chopped day and night, the magical tree restored itself with each blow, and thus he is up there chopping still.

吳剛是個(gè)懶惰而又不學(xué)無(wú)數(shù)的學(xué)徒。有一天他想學(xué)道成仙，于是他住到深山里強(qiáng)求以為仙人教他法術(shù)。起初，仙人教他治病的草藥，但三天之后吳剛不安定的本性就暴露出來(lái)了。他又求仙人教他其他的東西，于是仙人教他下棋，但不久之后吳剛又失去了興趣。于是仙人給了他研習(xí)仙術(shù)的書(shū)籍。當(dāng)然沒(méi)幾天吳剛又覺(jué)得無(wú)聊了，并問(wèn)仙人能否遠(yuǎn)行到一些新鮮有趣的地方。氣惱于吳剛毫無(wú)耐心的本性，仙人罰他去月宮，并告訴他除非他能砍倒一棵巨大的桂樹(shù)，否則他就不能回到人間。雖然吳剛?cè)找箍撤?，但這棵神奇的樹(shù)每次被砍倒創(chuàng)傷又會(huì)自己愈合，于是吳剛只有夜以繼日地砍伐。
