月饼传说

月饼象征团圆，是中秋祭月和拜土地公的必备祭品。而中秋节吃月饼的习俗，是由元朝末年流传下来的。元朝末年，汉人打算团结起来反抗蒙古人的统治，却苦于无从传递消息。后来刘伯温想出一条计策，到处散布流言，说有冬瘟流行，除非家家户户都在中秋节买月饼来吃，才能避免。人们买了月饼回到家中，发觉里面藏着纸条，上面写着：“中秋夜，杀鞑子，迎义军!” 于是众人纷纷起义反抗统治者，中秋节吃月饼的习俗就是这样留下来的。无锡人中秋早晨一般都吃红烧玫瑰糖芋头，据说也与此有关。相传蒙古灭宋之后，民族压迫深重，汉人时刻都想反抗。有一年，大家约好中秋之夜一齐动手。为了厌胜，人们要吃红烧芋头，象征“鞑子”人头落地，这就是现在中秋节吃糖芋头的来历。这个传说在潮汕各地则变异为：当时元朝统治者规定，每户潮人家都要住一个蒙古兵，受汉人供养，监视汉人的行动，并且只允许三家共用一把菜刀。老百姓恨极了，便趁着中秋节吃月饼的机会，把相约举事的纸条，放在月饼馅子里。潮人取芋头与“胡头”谐音，且形似人头，因此每至中秋，则以芋头来祭奠祖先，历代相传，至今犹存。广东各地有中秋节吃芋头的习俗，据说是纪念元末杀鞑子的历史故事。中秋节杀鞑子后，便以其头祭月，后来改以芋头代替。至今广东人剥芋皮时仍称为“剥鬼皮”。

The Mid-Autumn is a very important Chinese festival. It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month，usually in September or October. 中秋节是中国一个很重要的节日，在农历八月十五号，通常在阳历的九月或十月。A few days before the festival, everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful.

Children will play with their own toy lanterns happily.晚饭后，人们点亮灯笼，一般是红色的圆灯笼。孩子们会高高兴兴地玩他们的玩具灯笼。
