Today my niece sent back a few boxes of moon cakes from abroad. She says that the Mid Autumn Festival is coming and buy a box of moon cakes for eveyone. Though she lives abroad, miss her relatives in the country . It is really kind of her to do that and we felt very moved by her .
In fact, now everyone's standard of living has improved a lot , maybe few people like to eat mooncakes . For me, I always feel that the moon cake is too oily, too sweet, too high sugar content, it is said that a moon cake is equivalent to two bowls of Steamed Rice. I am aftraid I wouldn’t like to eat it any more.
Speaking of moon cakes, it reminds us of Wang Wei's poem, "miss your relatives twice every festival ". Yes, in a foreign land, every festival will think of distant relatives. Therefore, the Mid Autumn Festival is usually a emotional holiday for men of literature to write . especially famour for the poem written by Su Shi " Shui Diao Ge Tou "

今天外甥女从国外寄回了几盒月饼， 说是中秋节快到了，给大家买点月饼，这孩子， 人在国外， 还想着给家里的亲人快递月饼，也真是难为她这一片心了！
其实，现在大家的生活水平高了， 对于月饼只是形式上的美食， 真要是吃起来， 恐怕没有几个人说愿意吃月饼，反正对于我来说， 我总觉得月饼油性太大，又太甜，含糖量太高，一块月饼据说相当于两碗米饭，让我望而生畏，不想多吃。
说道月饼，就会让人想起王维的诗句，“每逢佳节倍思亲”。 是啊， 身在异乡，每到节日就会想到远方的亲人。因此中秋节也通常是文人墨客表达情感节日。 关于诗词最喜欢的莫过于苏轼的“水调歌头”
明月几时有？把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙、今夕是何年？
我欲乘风归去，惟恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。
起舞弄清影，何似在人间？
转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。
不应有恨、何事长向别时圆？
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。
但愿人长久，千里共蝉娟。
中秋节，每年的八月十五，便有祭月、赏月、拜月、吃月饼、赏桂花、饮桂花酒等习俗，流传至今，经久不息。表达人们的思念亲人之情，祈盼丰收，幸福！因此中秋节成为中国四大传统节日之一，在中国仅此于春节。
关于中秋节有许多传说，其中有嫦娥奔月， 玉兔捣药，吴刚伐桂等等。
嫦娥奔月是最为广泛流传的。 而嫦娥奔月也有好多个版本，但是有一点是共通的：嫦娥是射日英雄后羿之妻，王母感谢后羿射日之功，赠之不死仙药。而嫦娥因故吃了仙药，无法逗留地面，飞天奔月而去。从此成了广寒宫里的月美佳人。
关于月饼的传说
月饼象征团圆，是中秋祭月和拜土地公的必备祭品。而中秋节吃月饼的习俗，是由元朝末年流传下来的。
元朝末年，汉人打算团结起来反抗蒙古人的统治，却苦于无从传递消息。后来刘伯温想出一条计策，到处散布流言，说有冬瘟流行，除非家家户户都在中秋节买月饼来吃，才能避免。人们买了月饼回到家中，发觉里面藏着纸条，上面写着：“中秋夜，杀鞑子，迎义军！” 于是众人纷纷起义反抗统治者，中秋节吃月饼的习俗就是这样留下来的。
月饼的样式也有很多， 方形的， 圆形的， 心形的， 各种形状。里面的馅也是多达百种。 无论如何，中秋赏月，都是寄托了人们渴望团圆，企盼幸福美好的节日。
