In my opinion, the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival is a romantic holiday.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a popular festival in China, Japan, South Korea, and other East Asian and Southeast Asian countries.
The festival is named Mid-Autumn Festival because it is in the middle of the three months of autumn - the fifteen of August of the lunar calendar.
Autumn is always a beautiful season, and there are many beautiful traditions that are related to the Mid-Autumn in China.
There is a kind of tree named osmanthus fragrans in China that blooms before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the air around the osmanthus fragrans trees is filled with the sweet refreshing fragrance that makes people feel happy. People not only appreciate the osmanthus fragrans flowers, but also make wine with the osmanthus fragrans and enjoy it with their families in the Mid-Autumn Festival evening.
They say the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most round and brightest in a whole year. It is a great joy to admire the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. The round moon represents a family reunion, so on the Mid-Autumn Festival, people will look at the moon and miss their families if their family can't be around; people will sit under the moon and enjoy a kind of dessert which is called moon-cake if their family can be around.
In ancient China, most of the litterateurs liked to poetize and kiss the cup while they were enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival evening, so China has retained a lot of famous beautiful and romantic poetry about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I was in the United States and could only look at the moon and missed my parents who were in distant China.
