The Chinese word 中秋节 (Zhōngqiūjié) is a compound of three characters: 中 (zhōng), 秋 (qiū), and 节 (jié). - 中 (zhōng) means "middle" or "center". - 秋 (qiū) means "autumn". - 节 (jié) means "festival" or "holiday". So, 中秋节 literally means "middle autumn festival". It is a traditional Chinese festival that celebrates the middle of autumn, which is the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. The festival is also known as the Moon Festival because it is a time to celebrate the full moon.
