Mission Gauge had a happy Mid-Autumn Festival with all staff
"Zhong Qiu Jie", which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the August of the lunar calendar. It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon-an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in fragrant moon-cakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns.
According to Chinese mythology，the earth once had 10 suns circling over it. One day，all 10 suns appeared together，scorching the earth with their heat. The earth was saved when a strong archer，Hou Yi，succeeded inshooting down 9 of the suns. Yi stole the elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule，but his wife，Chang-E drank it. Thus started thelegend of the lady in the moon to whom young Chinese girls would pray at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Mid-Autumn Day is a traditional festival in China. Almost everyone likes to eat moon-cakes on that day. Most families have a dinner together to celebrate the festival. A saying goes, " The moon in your hometown is almost always the brightest and roundest." Many people who live far away from homes want to go back to have a family reunion.
How happy it is to enjoy the moon cakes while watching the full moon with your family members.
