A Journey to the East

几天一前我已经介绍一下中秋节的情况一点儿。今天我再介绍中秋节的情况但是今天就用中文写！

下个星期天是中秋接。 中秋节是中国的很有有名的节日。中秋节是 八十五号。
这个时候月非常圆，非常漂亮。
家里的人一起看月，开花灯，吃月饼 和听李白的诗。
昨天晚上我的家外面有很多小还字开花灯，玩儿一玩儿。真可爱！

在新加坡中秋节也叫“月饼节”。月饼节以前大家都去买月饼。我也去买了。我跟我订婚人和我弟弟一起去。新加坡的莱佛士坊可以买很都种月饼。但是月饼真不太便宜。一个饼十多块。我门买十七个饼。有的饼给我们的朋友，有的给我父母， 有的我们自己吃。 但是月饼很有糖一定不要吃太多。


在德国我没有过中秋节。在新加坡我很喜欢过这个真有有意思的节日。

Labels: Mid-autumn festival

It is the time of the mid-autumn festival, or also called the mooncake festival in Singapore. At this time of the year, the moon is especially round and beautiful, so people gather together, light lanterns, eat mooncake and enjoy the beauty of the moon.

Today we bought our supply of mooncakes. The traditional cakes are filled with a paste made from lotus or red bean, but these days you can also buy more exotic version that taste like, green tea, black sesame, or even durian :)
The cakes are not cheap though, one cake costs about S$10-S$13 (the small cakes are slightly cheaper).

According to a popular folk story, the mooncake festival plays a role in the rebellion of the Chinese against the Mongolian rulers during the Yun dynasty. The Chinese passed little messages when to start the uprising inside the mooncake, because the Mongolians would not eat it (and therefore would not suspect anything). Today, some mooncakes have a egg yolk inside that represents the message.
