中秋节的传说中英文

Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month，it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest. There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once，scorching the planet with their heat. It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward，the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality，but she warned him that he must use it wisely. Hou Yi ignored her advice and，corrupted by fame and fortune，became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Er，his beautiful wife， could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon，the Moon Fairy.

The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty，an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zang was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message. When the cake was opened and the message read，an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon，which，some say，explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. Mooncakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the bakery and the type of filling used. Some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard，but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. Mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea，especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea，which aids the digestion.

中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样，是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅，馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋，据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。

关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。

第二个传说讲的是在元朝，朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信，起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义，赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时，于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。

Mid-Autumn Festival

One of the most important festivals is the Mid-Autumn Day. Chinese ancestors believed that the 7th,8th,and 9th lunar months belong to autumn. So the Mid-Autumn Day falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.

In mid-autumn, farmers have just finished gathering their crops and bringing in fruits from the orchards果园. Overjoyed狂喜的 with the bumper丰富的 harvest, they feel quite relaxed after a year's hard work. So the 15th of the eighth lunar month has gradually evolved as成为 a widely celebrated festival for ordinary people.

Night falls. The land is bathed in silver moonlight, as at this time of the year the weather is usually fine and the sky usually clear. Families set up tables in their courtyards 庭院or sit on their balconies, chatting and sharing offerings祭品 to the moon. Together they enjoy the enchanting迷人的 spell of night. Naturally at this pleasant moment people are reminded of beautiful legends about the moon. The most popular in China is an ancient story telling how a girl named Chang'e flew to the moon.

Long long ago， a terrible drought干旱plagued折磨；困扰 the land. Ten suns burned fiercely猛烈地 in the sky like smoldering 情绪郁积的volcanoes火山. The land was parched烤, and rivers went dry. Many people died of hunger and thirst. Then there appeared a brave young man named Hou Yi who took out his red bow and white arrows箭and shot down nine suns one after another一个接一个的. The weather immediately turned cooler and heavy rains filled the rivers with fresh water. Life was restored恢复 on the earth and humanity was saved.

A beautiful girl secretly fell in love with the hero, who also loved the sweet girl. Soon they got married.

Out of respect for what he had done for his people, the goddess of the western sky rewarded the brave young man with a special drink that could give its drinker eternal永恒的 life in the heaven and made him an immortal being生命.

But an evil-minded person got to learn the secret and he managed to kill the hero by a sudden attack. The murder done, he ran to Chang'e who was waiting for the return of her husband from hunting. The wicked邪-恶的 murderer谋杀者 forced强迫 the wife to give him the drink. Without hesitation犹豫, the wife in her desperation绝望的境地 took up the drink and drank it in one gulp大口的.

Overcome with grief悲痛, the faithful忠诚wife rushed to the dead body of her husband and wept bitterly悲痛地. But soon the drink began to take effect and Chang'e felt herself lifted up from the ground towards heaven.

She had to live on the moon because it is nearest to the earth where her husband lay lifeless无生命的 and cold. She was alone and sad, never able to get back to earth.

For thousands of years the Chinese people have related涉及 the vicissitudes兴衰 of life to changes of the moon as it waxes渐满 and wanes渐淡的: joy and sorrow, parting and reunion. Because the round, full moon is a symbol of reunion and happiness, the mid-autumn day when the moon is at its fullest and brightest is naturally taken as the festival. In the Chinese written language, the word圆满(pronounced as "yuan man") means round and full literally字面上地, and metaphorically 暗喻it suggests family reunion and perfection 完美of life in the world. Every family would try to enjoy a happy reunion of its members in hoping for a more perfect life in future. Those who cannot return home on this day to watch the bright moon together with their dear ones always feel deep longing for their family. One of the most famous poets in the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, expressed his longing for home place

in a short poem that has become known even to three-year-old kids for thousands of years. It runs like this:

Before my bed shine bright the silver moon beams,

It seems autumn frost on the chamber floor gleams.

Gazing up toward the full moon in the night skies,

I can't but lower my head as homesickness乡愁 does arise上升.

Today festivities欢宴，庆典 centered about the Mid-Autumn Day are more varied. After a family reunion dinner, many people like to go out to attend special performances in parks or on public squares. Some groups or clubs of retired people would hold gatherings or parties for appreciation of the moonlight.

Among all the ways to celebrate this particular occasion, one traditional custom has definitely remained unchanged and is shared by almost every Chinese. That is eating a special kind of food: moon-cakes. Most of these cakes are made in a round shape, again a symbol of the full moon. There are a number of fillings wrapped缠绕，包裹 inside the cakes, so it's also a golden time for markets and department stores to sell these special cakes to citizens市民 before and during the festival. They are really delicious, and it's not uncommon for people to send moon-cakes to friends and relatives as Mid-Autumn gifts. While eating the tasty moon-cakes and gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, people feel sweet and happy at heart.

中秋节的起源、食俗、古诗佳句素材：网络整理：每逢中秋来临，赏月谈月便成为人们久谈不衰的话题。

追溯中秋赏月的来历，据《长安玩月诗序》载：“秋之于时，后夏先冬；八月于秋，季始孟终；十五之夜，又月之中。稽于天道，则寒暑均，取于月数，则蟾魄圆。”也就是说，八月十五在秋季八月中间，故曰：“中秋”。为何人们钟情中秋赏月呢?有诗道：“明月四时有，何事喜中秋?瑶台宝鉴，宜挂玉宇最高头；放出白豪千丈，散作太虚一色。万象入吾眸，星斗避光彩，风露助清幽。”

从时令上说，中种是“秋收节”，春播夏种的谷物到了秋天就该收获了，自古以来，人们便在这个季节饮酒舞蹈，喜气洋洋地庆祝丰收，这在我国最早的诗歌总集《诗经》中就有描绘。从渊源上说，中秋又是“祭月节”，它源于远古人类对自然的崇拜。古代帝王的礼制中有春秋二祭：春祭日，秋祭月。最初祭月的日子在“秋分”这一天，“秋分”这个季节在八月内每年不同，所以秋分这一天不一定有月亮，祭月无月是大煞风景的，逐渐约定俗成，祭月的日子固定在八月十五日。从科学观察来看，秋季地球与太阳的倾斜度加大，华夏大地上空的暖湿空气逐渐消退，而此时，西北风还很微弱。如此，湿气已去，沙尘未起，空气即显得格外清新，天空特别洁净，月亮看上去

既圆又大，是赏月的最佳时节。恰如古诗所云：“光辉皎洁，古今但赏中秋月，寻思岂是月华别?都为人间天上气清澈。”

民间中秋赏月活动约始魏晋时期，盛于唐宋。据宋朱翌《曲消旧闻》说：’中秋玩月，不知起于何时?考古人赋诗，则始于杜子美。”浏览唐诗，中秋赏月诗确有多篇，如王建有诗云：“月似圆盛色渐凝，玉盆盛水欲侵棱。夜深尽放家人睡，直到天明不炷灯。”徐凝的诗云：“皎皎秋月八月圆，嫦娥端正桂枝鲜；一年无似如今夜，十二峰前看不眠。”

宋代，民间中秋赏月之风更加兴盛。据《东京梦华录》对北宋京都赏月盛况有这样的描写“中秋夕，贵家结饰台榭，民家争占酒楼，玩月笙歌，远闻千里，嬉我连坐至晓”。《新编醉翁谈录》记载：“倾城人家子女不以贫富能自行至十二三，皆以成人之服服饰之，登楼或于中庭拜月，各有所期：男则愿早步蟾宫，高攀仙桂；女则愿貌似嫦娥，圆如皓月。”

明清以后，每逢中秋，一轮圆月东升时，人们便在庭院、楼台，摆出月饼、柚子、石榴、芋头、核桃、花生、西爪等果品，边赏

月，边畅谈，直到皓月当空，再分食供月果品，其乐融融。在我国的少数民族地区，中秋这一天，还举行别具特色的“拜月”、“闹月”、“行月”、“跳月”、“偷月”等丰富多彩的活动。

碧空如洗，圆月如盘。人们在尽情赏月之际，会情不自禁地想念远游在外、客居异乡的亲人。因此，中秋节还有“团圆节”之称。许多古诗表达了人们此时的思念之情。唐人殷文圭《八月十五夜》：“万里无云境九洲，最团圆夜是中秋。”王建《十五夜望月寄杜朗中》诗云：“今夜月明人尽望，不知秋思落谁家。”中国人历来把家人团圆、亲友团聚，共享天伦之乐看得极其珍贵，历来有“花好月圆人团聚”之谓。

中秋节又称月夕、秋节、仲秋节、八月节、八月会、追月节、玩月节、拜月节、女儿节或团圆节，是流行于全国众多民族中的传统文化节日，时在农历八月十五；因其恰值三秋之半，故名。据说此夜月球距地球最近，月亮最大显圆最亮，所以从古至今都有饮宴赏月的习俗；回娘家的媳妇是日必返夫家，以寓圆满、吉庆之意。也有些地方将中秋节定在八月十六，如宁波、台州、舟山，这与方国珍占据温、台、明三州时，为防范元朝官兵和朱元田的袭击而改“正月十四为元

宵、八月十六为中秋”有关。此外在香港，过了中秋兴犹未尽，还要在十六夜再狂欢一次.名为“追月”。

中秋节是远古天象崇拜——敬月习俗的遗痕。据《周礼·春官》记载，周代已有“中秋夜迎寒”、“中秋献良裘”、“秋分夕月（拜月）”的活动；汉代，又在中秋或立秋之日敬老、养老，赐以雄粗饼。晋时亦有中秋赏月之举，不过不太普遍；直到唐代将中秋与储娥奔月、吴刚伐桂、玉兔捣药、杨贵妃变月神、唐明皇游月宫等神话故事结合起，使之充满浪漫色彩，玩月之风方才大兴。

北宋，正式定八月十五为中秋节，并出现“小饼如嚼月，中有酥和饴”的节令食品。孟元老《东京梦华录》说：“中秋夜，贵家结饰台榭，民间争占酒楼玩月”；而且“弦重鼎沸，近内延居民，深夜逢闻笙芋之声，宛如云外。间里儿童，连宵婚戏；夜市骈阗，至于通晓。”吴自牧《梦梁录》说：“此际金凤荐爽，玉露生凉，丹桂香飘，银蟾光满。王孙公子，富家巨室，莫不登危楼，临轩玩月，或开广榭，玳筵罗列，琴瑟铿锵，酌酒高歌，以卜竟夕之欢。至如铺席之家，亦登小小月台，安排家宴，团围子女，以酬佳节。虽陋巷贫篓之人，解农市酒，勉强迎欢，不肯虚度。此夜天街卖买，直至五鼓，玩月游人，婆婆于市，至烧不绝。”更有意思的是，《新编醉翁谈录》

记述拜月之俗：“倾城人家子女不以贫富能自行至十二三，皆以成人之眼眼饰之，登楼或中庭焚香拜月，各有所朝；男则愿早步蟾宫，高攀仙桂。女则愿貌似嫦娥，圆如皓月。”明清两朝的赏月活动，盛行不衰。“其祭果饼必圆”；各家都要设“月光位”，在月出方向“向月供而拜”。陆启泓《北京岁华记》载：“中秋夜，人家各置月宫符象，符上免如人立；陈瓜果于庭，饼面绘月宫蟾免；男女肃拜烧香，旦而焚之。”田汝成《西湖游览志余》云：“是夕，人家有赏月之宴，或携柏湖船，沿游彻晓。苏堤之上，联袂踏歌，无异白日”；“民间以月饼相邀，取团圆之义”。富察敦崇《燕京岁时记》称：“中秋月饼，以前门致美斋者为京都第一，他处不足食也。呈供月月饼到处皆有。大者尺余，上绘月宫蜡兔之形。”“每届中秋，府第朱门皆以月饼果品相馈赠。至十五月圆时，陈瓜果于庭以供月，并祀以毛豆、鸡冠花。是时也，皓魄当空，彩云初散，传杯洗盏，儿女喧哗，真所谓佳节也。唯供月时男子多不叩拜。”同时这五百多年中还推出“烧斗香”、“走月亮”、“放天灯”、“树中秋”、“点塔灯”、“舞火龙”、“曳石”、“卖兔儿爷”等节庆活动；其中的赏月，吃月饼、团圆饭等习俗，一直流传到今天。
