二、中秋由来
中秋节的来历可以追溯到我国古代，我们在向月亮表达敬意，也涵义对丰盈的恳求。
The Mid-Autumn Festival, dating back to ancient China, pays homage to the moon and good harvest.
北宋时期，阴历8月十五才被正式树立为中秋节，从那今后，为月亮献祭盛行，从那今后便变成风俗。
In the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127 AD), the 15th day of the 8th lunar month was established as the “Mid-Autumn Festival”. From then on, sacrificing to the moon was very popular, and has 
become a custom ever since.
中秋节有悠长的前史，和其它传统节日相同，也是逐渐打开构成的，古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的礼制，早在《周礼》一书中，已有“中秋”一词的记载。
The festival has a long history. In ancient China, emperors followed the rite of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. Historical books of the Zhou Dynasty had had the word “Mid-Autumn”.

送上一首关于中秋的诗
《水调歌头》
【宋】苏轼
中秋明月何时有？把酒问彼苍。
不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年？
我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不堪寒．起舞弄清影，何似在人世？
转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。不该有恨、何事长向别时圆？
人有悲欢聚散，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。期望人耐久，千里共婵娟。
