Could you tell me something about the Mid-Autumn Festival ? I find it also very interesting .

OK . It falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month . It is said that there is a beautiful goddess Chang'E on the moon who had eaten some sort of elixir and had to depart her husband . She is always expecting to see her husband again . So , later we have the traditional idea that when there is the full moon , it is time for the family members to come together .

You are right . In China , ' round ' is an auspicious word . The moon cakes are in round shape .

It was not in the past . But from 2008 , we can enjoy a three-day holiday for this festival .
