HAVE you noticed that the moon is becoming rounder and brighter day after day? 
That’s because Sept 8 is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
For Chinese people, a full moon means that family members can get together on that day. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, people get together and enjoy the round moon . They also send wishes for family members not with them.
There are many stories about the moon to make the tradition more interesting. In China, Chang’e flying to the moon is a well-known legend(传说). Hou Yi and Chang’e were husband and wife in old times. At the time, there were 10 suns in the sky. Hou yi, a brave man, shot (射) down nine suns. People see Hou Yi as a great hero.
Besides China, many other countries have beautiful stories about the moon. In Greek legend (希腊传说), Artemis is the goddess of the moon. She takes care of the hunt (狩猎) and wild animals. Artemis also looks after young children and women in childbirth (分娩).
