每年农历八月十五日，是我国传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为中秋。这也是我国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日。
中秋节的由来
在中国的农历裏，一年分为四季，每季又分为孟、仲、季三个部分，因而中秋也称仲秋。八月十五的月亮比其它几个月的满月更圆，更明亮，所以又叫做月夕、秋节、仲秋节、八月节、八月会、追月节、玩月节、拜月节、女儿节或团圆节，是流行于全国众多民族中的传统文化节日。此夜，人们仰望天空如玉如盘的朗朗明月，自然会期盼家人团聚。远在他乡的游子，也借此寄托自己对故乡和亲人的思念之情。所以，中秋又称“团圆节”。
据说此夜月球距地球最近，月亮最大最亮，所以从古至今都有饮宴赏月的习俗；回娘家的媳妇是日必返夫家，以寓圆满、吉庆之意。也有些地方将中秋节定在八月十六，如宁波、台州、舟山，这与方国珍占据温、台、明三州时，为防范元朝官兵和朱元田的袭击而改“正月十四为元宵、八月十六为中秋”有关。此外在香港，过了中秋兴犹未尽，还要在十六夜再狂欢一次，名为“追月”。
