　　遥望明月共此时，欢度佳节同相知。农历八月十五日，是中国传统的中秋佳节。受中华文化的影响，中秋节也是东南亚和东北亚一些国家尤其是生活在当地的华侨华人的传统节日。虽然同为中秋，但各国习俗不同，多样的形式一并寄托着人们对生活的无限热爱和对美好未来的憧憬。

　　On every fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, people all over China will be getting together to eat with their families, look at the bright moon and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Infulenced by Chinese culture, Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival in some southeast and northeast Asian countries, especially among those of Chinese descent. Since this festival marks the mid-day of Autumn, Mid-Autumn Festival is thought of as a time to carry the unbounded love towards life and a bright future. However, people in different countries have different customs to celebrate it.

　　日本

　　Japan

　　日本有两个中秋节：除农历八月十五外，九月十三也是。虽然日本在明治维新后废除了农历，但是各地仍保留着中秋赏月的习俗。在日本，农历八月十五中秋节被称为“十五夜”或“中秋名月”。日本人在这一天同样有赏月的习俗，在日语里称为“月见”。

　　Apart from the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th in lunar calender, Japan has another Mid-Autumn Festival on September 13th. Although the Chinese lunar calender was no more used in Japan after the Meiji Restoration, the custom of appreciating the moon that day is kept around Japan. And the Mid-Autumn day was named as "the 15th Night" or "the Bring Moon of Mid-Autumn Festival", or in Japanese "Tsukimi".

　　日本的赏月习俗来源于中国，在1000多年前传到日本后，当地开始出现边赏月边举行宴会的风俗习惯，被称为“观月宴”。由于这个时期正值各种作物的收获季节，为了对自然的恩惠表示感谢，日本人要举行各种庆祝活动。

　　The custom was introduced from China into Japan over 1000 years ago. Since then, Japan families gradually have begun to get together to appreciate the moon, and have a big feast, called as "Moongazing feast". Because it's in the last month of the harvest season, Japanese hold various activities to express their gratitude towards the world's gifts.

　　与中国人在中秋节的时候吃月饼不同，日本人在赏月的时候吃用稻米煮熟捣碎做成的米团子，称为“月见团子”。超市和百货公司只有在中秋时才销售这种米团子，现在也有人将红豆沙或其他东西涂在米团上以改良口味。

　　The festival food in Japan is not moon cake, but a kind of rice dumplings made of cooked and mashed rice, which in Japanese is called "Tsukimi Danko". Tsukimi Danko is only sold in supermarks and department stores during the Mid-Autumn Festival. And today some one may lather red bean paste or other things on Tsukimi Danko to better it.
