xi'an, september 17 (xinhua) -- "according to the ancient chinese calendar, there are four seasons in a year, each with three months, called the first month, the middle month, and the last month. because the second month of autumn is called the middle autumn, and because the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is in the middle of august, it is called 'mid-autumn festival'..." in order to promote the excellent traditional chinese culture and enhance students' understanding and recognition of traditional festivals, the xiyue temple museum in huayin, shaanxi province, recently held a cultural study activity for the mid-autumn festival. by listening to the social education teachers telling classic legends such as chang'e flying to the moon and wu gang cutting down the cassia tree, the children participating in the activity seemed to travel through time and space and appreciate the beauty of the bright moon with the ancients.
