“May we all be blessed with longevity(长寿). Though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together(但愿人长久,千里共婵娟),” wrote Su Shi, a poet during the Song Dynasty, in his poem to his younger brother Su Zhe.
The moon is brighter on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. On this day, people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is popular all over the country.
That day is a harvest festival because crops(庄稼) are harvested during the time. It is a time for rest and celebration.
Families also try to get together for the festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to come home for the celebration.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has its own special food just like other Chinese festivals. People eat mooncakes. The mooncake looks like the full moon. The full moon and mooncakes stand for a family reunion(团聚).
With the beautiful moon up in the sky, people sit together, enjoy the full moon, eat mooncakes and fruit, share the stories, and express the best wishes to the family members and friends.
66. Who did Su Shi write the poem to in Paragraph 1?
67. When is the Mid-Autumn Festival?
68. Why is the Mid-Autumn Festival a harvest festival?
