Specifically scheduled for the 15th day of the 8th month on the lunar calendar (September 19 on the solar calendar this year), this festival has its roots in the millenia-old worship of Chang'e, the Moon Goddess of Immortality...
In today's practice, the gifting of moon cakes is a way to wish friends and associates long and happy lives. Pictured at right is 5/6ths of the delegation to express our appreciation to 18 of those who work so hard in the offices of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Languages and English to make it possible for us to teach at the two campuses of Beijing Institute of Technology.
