The origin and custom of Mid-Autumn Festival: more than 300 words

Mid-Autumn Festival is my favorite festival. People will eat moon cakes, hang lanterns, barbecue and enjoy the moon.

My grandparents told me the story of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. Legend has it that there were ten suns in the ancient sky, which made people miserable. There is a hero in the world named Hou Yi, who has infinite power. He stood on the top of Kunlun Mountain, drew his bow and shot down nine suns in one breath? Then I interjected, Grandpa and Grandma, weren't there ten suns in ancient times? Why did Houyi only shoot nine suns? Grandpa said, "Because Hou Yi thinks there is no sun on the earth!" I suddenly understood, grandpa continued. Later, Hou Yi married Chang 'e and gave her the elixir for safekeeping. But Chang 'e took the elixir of life and flew to the moon. Hou Yi can only look at the moon and miss her. So there is the custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival is my favorite festival, because there are moon cakes to eat and barbecues. Mid-Autumn Festival is also beautiful, I love it!
