The Mid-Autumn Festival, or Mooncake Festival, is traditionally celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.
This year, it falls on 4th October. The festival, dating back to ancient China, pays homage to the moon and good harvest.
The use of "mid-autumn" to describe the celebration first appeared in the Rites of Zhou, a book on bureaucracy and organisation written more than 2,000 years ago.
The name "mooncake" to describe the sweet delicacy was used for the first time during the Tang Dynasty (618AD-907AD).
Like most Chinese festivals, it is steeped in history, legend and folklore.
A popular legend tells a story of how the Han Chinese rebels made use of mooncakes to pass on secret messages in the final uprising against Mongol rulers, leading to the creation of the Ming Dynasty in 1368.
There are also many tales around the origin of the festival. The most famous is about the beautiful Chang'e, who became the goddess of the moon after she took a longevity pill from a high-ranking deity.

Chang'e became the goddess of the moon after she took a longevity pill from a high-ranking deity. In chinese mythology and folklore, she is the beautiful and extraordinary wife of 后羿 (hòu yì) who after became immortal flew to the fairy palace in the moon. She then led a lonely life away from her unfortunate norm on earth, appearing only occasionally during the mooncake festival with her only pet rabbit. Sometime their shadows can be seen on the bright full moon during mid-autum.

徒拿那沧桑的流年.乱了那若梦的浮生。- The fringe of the vicissitudes (transition) of life.
Tú ná nà cāng sāng de liú nián. Luàn le nà ruò mèng de fú shēng.
This fallen world, without the characteristic harmony and tolerance, resulting in a fleeting moment changes to complete suffering forever. Happiness is not base on accumulating for self but warm-hearted sharing. The cultivation of care for others and not on more acquisitions. The ultimate love for God and our neighbours are the basis for building treasures in heaven. As of all things and time, the significant are the favourable recording in the book of heaven, which determines our passport there.
