The suggested report (P 162 – Green book)
This report shows how the Mid – Autumn festival was held in my neighborhood.
The Mid – autumn festival was held on the 15th of August (according to Lunar Calendar). This festival was specially organized for children.
It was held in the yard of the Cultural House in my village. The main festival lasted for about three hours when the moon is at its fullest. During the festival, children took part in various activities like : singing and shouting, wearing masks, parading on the roads and banging the drums
Besides, children ate a very special cake called Moon Cakes. They are filled with lotus seed, orange peel., ground bean and sometimes egg and pork fat for flavor
Children went on playing traditional games until mid night
I think this festival is a very special occasion for Vietnamese people and especially for children to play and enjoy of kinds of activities. Moreover, children would understand more about Vietnamese traditional
