中秋由來

人們在每年中國農曆的八月十五慶祝中秋節。

The Mid-Autumn Festival is traditionally celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.

中秋節的起源可以追溯到中國古代，人們在向月亮表達敬意，也寓意對豐收的祈禱。

The Mid-Autumn Festival, dating back to ancient China, pays homage to the moon and good harvest.

“中秋節”的說法首次出現在一本2000多年撰寫的書籍——《周禮》中。

The use of "mid-autumn" to describe the celebration first appeared in the Rites of Zhou, a book written more than 2,000 years ago.

關於這個節日的起源有很多傳說。最著名的就是嫦娥奔月的故事。

There are also many tales around the origin of the festival. The most famous is about the Chang'e flying to the moon.

羿請不死之藥於西王母。

Hou Yi traveled to the palace of Xi Wang Mu, the Queen Mother of the West, seeking her elixir of immortality.

羿妻嫦娥竊之奔月，託身於月。

Chang'e drank the elixirs that her husband had left behind and flew upwards towards the heavens, choosing the moon as residence.

中秋之月最圓最亮，象徵闔家團圓。

The moon is the brightest and roundest on this day which means family reunion.
