Family is very important to everyone. In both East and West, people have festivals to celebrate family reunions (团聚). These festivals include the Mid- Autumn Festival in China and Thanksgiving Day in the US. How are they celebrated and what are the differences between them
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second most important traditional festival in China. It’s on the 15th day of the eighth month of Chinese lunar calendar.
In ancient China, the day was considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain (谷物) had been collected from the field. All the family got together and had a big dinner. They ate special festival food— mooncakes and enjoyed the full moon on that day.
Now people also celebrate the festival by getting together and having a big dinner. When it gets dark, people look up at the full moon, missing friends and relatives who are far from home. The famous poet, Su Shi, once wrote, “ We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart. ”
Thanksgiving Day is one of the biggest holidays in the US. It’s on the fourth Thursday of November. People visit their friends and relatives to remind themselves that they are lucky to have happiness, health and family.
Today, people usually have a family meal on Thanksgiving Day. They enjoy delicious food such as pumpkins, corn and a big, golden turkey.
The most important part of Thanksgiving Day is to say “ thanks” —this is the spirit of the holiday. People also like to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade (游行) on TV.

Duanwu Festival — A celebration of patriotism
Duanwu Festival is also called the Dragon Boat Festival. It is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. People across China eat rice dumplings and hold dragon boat races to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great ancient patriotic poet.
The spirit behind Qu Yuan’s story and the spirit of dragon boat racing are closely related to patriotism. Qu Yuan’s death for his country showed his spirit of patriotism.
