The Moon Festival in 2012 falls on
Sunday, 30th September.
Chinese People believe that on that day, the moon is the roundest and brightest
signaling a time of completeness and abundance.
Some
Chinese families today still stay up late to observe the occasion eating mooncakes, sipping tea and gazing at the beautiful moon.
It is regarded the
perfect moment if someone catches
the moon's reflection in the centre of his or
her teacup .
靜夜思 by 李白
床前明月光
Moonlight before my bed,
疑似地上霜
I wonder if It's frost around.
舉頭望明月
Head up, I gaze up the moon .
低頭思故鄉
Head down, I think of home.
