大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【中秋节】的话题。上个星期六是中国的传统节日中秋节，放三天假。中秋节是我最喜欢的节日之一，因为它是和家人团圆的节日。那么中秋节是怎么来的呢？
农历八月十五在秋季的正中，中秋节因此得名。又因这晚月亮很圆，人们由天上的圆月联想到人生的团圆，因此阖家团圆也成为中秋节的核心意义。中秋节的来历说法很多，通常被认为和嫦娥奔月的故事有关。传说王母娘娘为奖赏后羿射日的功绩，赐予他一粒不老神丹。后羿不舍与妻子分离，因而没有吃。这件事被歹人所知，歹人趁后羿不在家中，逼迫嫦娥交出丹药，嫦娥当机立断，一口吞下不老神丹，随后不由自主地飘离地面，飞上月宫成了仙。后羿从此在八月十五的月下设案，怀念嫦娥。由于“男不拜月，女不祭灶”的习俗，这一天拜月的仪式通常只有女性和孩子参与。中秋节有着很多习俗，形式也各不相同，但都寄托着人们对生活无限的热爱和对美好生活的向往。总的来说是传承历史，传递亲情，希望亲人生活都团团圆圆。
中秋节有什么习俗呢？中秋节的十大习俗，你知道哪些？一、中秋赏月。赏月活动源于魏晋，到了宋代更是不明之夜，也是通宵达旦，玩月游人。二、吃月饼。唐僖宗在中秋节吃月饼觉得味道甚好，是关于月饼最早的记录。现如今月饼的品种层出不穷。三、祭月。在古代有秋暮夕月的习俗。四、燃灯。中秋将燃起的夜灯悬挂于屋檐下。五、观潮。在古代，浙江一带观潮也是中秋盛事。六、玩兔儿爷。现在很少见到，基本作为民俗文物在民俗博物馆展出。七、走月。中秋月夜，人们衣着华美，三五结伴，进行赏月活动。八、玩花灯。早在宋代将“一点红”灯放入江中，漂流玩耍。九、吃鸭、螺和芋头。十、饮桂花酒。中秋时节桂花芬芳，饮桂花酿，现在大多红酒代替。
你们国家有和月亮相关的节日吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
