Moon Festival
The Moon or Mid-Autumn Festival,on the 15th day of the eighth lunar
month,observes the biggest and brightest full moon of the year,the
harvest moon.
One legend about the Moon Festival concerns expert architect Hou
Yih,who built a palace of jade for the Goddess of the western
heaven.In reward,she gave Hou Yih a pill with the elixir of
immortality,warning him not to take it until he had fulfilled
certain conditions.Hou Yih's ever-curious wife,Chang O,found the
pill and promptly swallowed it.As punishment,she was banished to
the moon where,according to tradition,her beauty is at its most
radiant on the day of the Moon Festival.
The Festival is a public holiday marked by family reunions,moon
gazing,and the eating of moon cakes-round pastries stuffed with red
bean paste and an egg yolk,or fruit and preserves.
