中秋节的时间（农历）
中秋节的农历时间是每年八月十五，我们可以用Chinese lunar calendar来表达这个日期。同时这一天月亮很圆，圆圆的月亮（满月）可以用full moon。另外，中秋的满月是秋分前后的满月，故也能用harvest moon哦～
例句：中秋节，时在农历八月十五，满月当空。
Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar with full moon at night.

关于月饼的传说
The tradition of eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn festival began in the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, China was ruled by the Mongols.
中秋节吃月饼这个传统起源于元朝。那时，中国是被蒙古族统治的。
The Han people's army wanted to overthrow the Mongols, so they planned an uprising. But how could they ask other Han people to join the battle without being discovered by the enemy?
汉族的军队想推翻蒙古人，因此他们制定了起义攻击的计划。但是，如何叫其他汉人参加战争但又不被敌人发现呢？
The Han army leader Liu BoWen came up with a cunning idea. He started a rumour that there was a deadly disease spreading across the country and that the only way to protect yourself was to eat special mooncakes. Many Han people bought the mooncakes and inside, they found a secret message on a piece of paper. The message told them to join in the Han uprising on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.
汉族的军队领袖刘伯温想出了一个精明的主意。他传开了一个谣言，说有一种致命疾病正在全国传播，而唯一保护自己的方法就是吃特殊的月饼。许多汉人买了这些月饼，在里面，他们发现了写在一张纸条上的秘密信息。信息告诉他们要参与汉族农历八月十五日的起义。
The Han people succeeded in their surprise attack. From then on, mooncakes have been eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival to commemorate this event.
汉族的起义成功了。从此以来，人们每逢中秋节都会吃月饼，以此纪念这个事件。
