Mid-Autumn Festival

Transcript: Mid Autumn Festival Poems By Anny Kim Celebration Wu Kang was a shiftless fellow who changed apprenticeships all the time. One day he decided that he wanted to be an immortal. Wu Kang then went to live in the mountains where he importuned an immortal to teach him. The Legend The Date of the festival Story of the Mooncakes Moon Cakes ju tóu wàng míngyuè I gaze up towards the sky di tóu si gùxing And downwards look when a nostalgia does arise. míngyuè jishí you Bright moon, when was your birth? ba jiu wèn qingtian Winecup in hand, I ask the deep blue sky.

It changes every year depending on the moon calender Special family reunion dinner Lighting lanterns in parks Going out to festivals Lighting lanterns and placing them in rivers to send messages to family members who have passed away or distance family members Fire Dragon Dancers Match Making Legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty moon cakes were used by the Chinese to plan a rebellion against the Mongol government. It is said that they conveniently used the Mid-Autumn Festival timing to seek permission to distribute moon cakes, which (conveniently) the Mongols did not eat. They managed to hide secret messages inside the cakes which organised the rebellion and overthrow of the government; its collapse led to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, Wu Kang became bored within a few days, and asked if they could travel to some new and exciting place. Angered with Wu Kang's impatience, the master banished Wu Kang to the Moon Palace telling him that he must cut down a huge cassia tree before he could return to earth. Though Wu Kang chopped day and night, the magical tree restored itself with each blow, and thus he is up there chopping still. First the immortal taught him about the herbs used to cure sickness, but after three days his characteristic restlessness returned and he asked the immortal to teach him something else. So the immortal decided to teach him chess. But after a short while Wu Kang was not interested any more. Then Wu Kang was given the books of immortality to study.
