The Mid-Autumn Festival The Mid-Autumn Festival has all interesting history.Long ago in one of the dynasties of China there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not manage the country well.The people were so angry that some brave ones suggested killing the king.So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes.On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the cakes.When they ate them they discovered the notes.So they gathered together to make a sudden attack on the king.From then on the Chinese people celebrate on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat "moon cakes" in memory of that important event.
