Title: The Significance of Mid-Autumn Festival
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon! Today, I would like to talk to you about a special festival in China - the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month when the moon is believed to be the fullest and brightest. This year, the festival will be celebrated on September 21st.
There are several legends associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the most well-known one is the story of Chang'e, the Moon Goddess. According to the legend, Chang'e consumed the elixir of immortality and floated up to the moon, where she lives with a jade rabbit. On this day, people gather with their families to appreciate the moon, eat mooncakes, and pray for good fortune and happiness.
The festival is also a time for family reunions. In ancient China, farmers would celebrate the end of the harvest season by offering sacrifices to the gods and ancestors. Nowadays, it has become a tradition for families to come together, enjoy a big feast, and share mooncakes. Mooncakes are round pastries filled with sweet or savory fillings, symbolizing the reunion of family members.
In addition to mooncakes, another important element of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the lanterns. Children often carry lanterns in various shapes and sizes during the festival, adding to the joyful atmosphere. Lantern riddles are also a popular activity during this time. People write riddles on pieces of paper and attach them to lanterns. Others have to solve the riddles in order to win a prize.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a time for family gatherings and celebration, but it also carries profound cultural and historical significance. It reflects the importance of family values, unity, and gratitude. It serves as a reminder for us to cherish our loved ones and appreciate the blessings we have in life.
In conclusion, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for joy, celebration, and reflection. It brings families together, allows us to appreciate the beauty of the moon, and reminds us of the importance of love and gratitude. Let us cherish this tradition and pass it on to future generations.
Thank you for your attention!

Title: Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival in Modern Times
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon! Today, I would like to share with you how the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated in modern times.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history and rich cultural traditions, but as society evolves, so does the way we celebrate this festival. While the essence of the festival remains the same – family reunions, moon appreciation, and enjoyment of mooncakes – there are some modern elements that have been added to the festivities.
One of the modern practices during the Mid-Autumn Festival is sending electronic greetings. With the advancement of technology, many people now choose to send virtual greeting cards or messages to their family and friends. These greetings often come with animated images and personalized messages, making it a convenient and creative way to express their well wishes.
Another modern trend is the customization of mooncakes. Mooncakes used to have limited flavors and fillings, such as lotus seed paste and salted egg yolks. However, in recent years, there has been a rise in innovative and diverse mooncake flavors. From ice cream mooncakes to chocolate-filled mooncakes, there are now endless options for people to choose from, catering to different tastes and preferences.
Additionally, social media has played a significant role in the celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival in modern times. People share their festive moments, mooncake creations, and family gatherings on platforms like WeChat, Weibo, and Instagram. It has become a way for individuals to connect with others, even if they are physically apart, and to showcase their festive spirit to a wider audience.
Furthermore, the Mid-Autumn Festival has expanded beyond cultural boundaries and gained recognition on an international level. Many cities around the world now hold Mid-Autumn Festival events, featuring traditional Chinese performances, lantern exhibitions, and mooncake tastings. This not only promotes cultural exchange but also allows people from different backgrounds to experience and appreciate the beauty of this traditional Chinese festival.
In conclusion, while embracing modern practices, the essence of the Mid-Autumn Festival remains intact. It is a time for family reunions, moon appreciation, and gratitude. As we celebrate this festival in modern times, let us not forget the values it represents and continue to pass on the traditions to future generations.
Thank you for your attention!
