The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao.The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon.So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.
According to the Chinese tradition,at the very beginning of a new year,when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky,there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate.At this time,people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.

The August Moon Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival(Chinese characters above)is one of the traditional Chinese holidays.It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.Chinese legends say that the moon is at its brightest and roundest on this day.Based on the Gregorian calendar,this year's August Moon Festival will be held on September 19.
The August Moon Festival is often called the Women's Festival.The moon(Chinese character on right)symbolizes elegance and beauty.While Westerners worship the sun(yang or male)for its power,people in the Far East admire the moon.The moon is the 'yin' or female principle and it is a trusted friend.Chinese parents often name their daughters after the moon,in hope that they will be as lovely as the moon.
The double ninth festival is one of my favorite traditional festivals, because on that day I can have a spicy black rice cake, the "double ninth cake". But on the double ninth festival last year, I came to the nursing home with my mother to celebrate the double ninth festival for a woman who had lost all her relatives in her more than 100 years.
On the morning of the double ninth festival, I brought some of my hand-made CARDS with my mother and hurried to the nursing home.
At the nursing home, my mother took me to the old woman's room. In the room, I knocked at the door softly, and after a while, a white-haired old woman opened the door. "Whew! It's Dr Zhu and your daughter! Come in and sit down." The old woman took us in with a fluent Shanghai dialect.
Into the old woman's room, I found the table filled up with the old man cross-stitch, I admire the thought, "wow! The old lady very fierce, more than one hundred years old, stab thorn cross-stitch incredibly still so well." Then, I handed the old woman a card and the old grandma smiled and looked at it again and again and again. I feel very happy in my heart.
Then, I sang and danced to my grandmother, and she cut fruit for her jokes. When I handed an apple to the old man's hands, the old woman took out a box from behind like a magic "give we eat double ninth gao (or cake), we refuse again and again, but she is still hard to me. So I share this delicious double cake with you...
I can bring laughter and happiness to a lonely grandmother, and I think this double ninth festival is very meaningful.
Ah! My favorite traditional festival is the double ninth festival!
