Celebrating Zhong Qiu Jie

On Friday, September 13th, Hackley Middle and Upper school Chinese students celebrated Zhong Qiu Jie, China’s Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid- Autumn Festival is the second most important Chinese holiday. It celebrates the full moon and the harvests of the Fall. Chinese people come together to watch the moon and to eat mooncakes, a traditional pastry filled with red bean or lotus pastes. To celebrate, Hackley Chinese students ate mooncakes and gave presentations on the holiday’s traditions. Everyone appreciated experiencing an authentic celebration of the Mid- Autumn Festival.
