【网络中国节▪中秋】世界各地的“月亮节”

日本人称中秋节为“月见节”。日本人过中秋吃的不是月饼，而是江米做的“团子”，它形状各异，馅儿以豆沙为主。

In Japan, the Mid-Autumn Festival is named Tsukimi or Otsukimi (literally means moon-viewing). Unlike the Chinese, who eat mooncakes to celebrate the festival, the Japanese usually eat eating rice dumplings called Tsukimi dango, which come in various shapes and mainly have red bean paste as fillings.

与中国一样，越南人也在农历八月十五过中秋节。所不同的是，这一天同时还是越南“儿童节”。当天，家长们会带着孩子们去游乐场玩耍。

In Vietnam, people celebrate Têt-Trung-Thu (tet-troong-thoo) on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. The day is also regarded as the Children’s Festival in Vietnam. On that day, parents would take children to amusement parks.

中秋节可并非都在农历八月十五这天，由于地理位置的不同月圆之日也不同。

Not all “Mid-Autumn Days” are celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. That’s because on different locations, the full moon occurs on different days.

在中国，只有1个中秋节。但是在这个国家，一年要过12次，且每次都放假，它就是热带岛国，印度洋上的“明珠”——斯里兰卡。斯里兰卡的“月圆节”，是按佛历习俗流传的，每月当月亮圆时，就要过一次“月圆节”。

China celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival only once a year. But in this country, it’s a monthly holiday ­– Sri Lanka, a tropical island country renowned as the “pearl” on the Indian Ocean. Celebrated on every full moon day of each month, Full Moon Poya Days are important for Buddhists in Sri Lanka who observe the lunar calendar.

在坦桑尼亚，每当公历九月的月圆之夜是坦桑尼亚的“月圆节”，人们来到空旷处，围成一个个圆圈，默默地坐下，直到月亮高悬空中，人们才打破沉默，并举行庆祝活动，欢度一年一度的节日。

Tanzania’s full moon holiday falls on the full moon night in September. On that day, people come to an open area, sit in a circle silently, and won’t celebrate the annual holiday until the moon is high up in the sky.

“海上生明月，天涯共此时”。虽然各国举办“月亮节”的时间不一，风俗各异，但都不约而同地传达着人们对自然的敬畏、对丰收的喜悦、对亲情的重视。

A line in a famous Chinese poem reads: “As the bright moon shines over the sea, from far away you share this moment with me.” Although different countries have their own time and customs concerning the “moon holiday”, they share the awe for nature, the joy from harvest and the importance they attach to family.
