除了吃月饼、赏月,在你的家乡,中秋节这天有什么不一样的习俗吗?
In Guangzhou, there is a lovely tradition called "Shu Zhongqiu". Families use bamboo strips to make lanterns. The lanterns are shaped like fish, dragons, birds or fruits. At night, people light candles inside and raise the lanterns high. The whole town becomes a twinkling sea of lights.

In Zhejiang, watching the Qiantang River Tide is a big event. This tradition started over 2,000 years ago. It was very popular during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, huge waves rush in like a water army(军队). Many people gather from different places to enjoy this powerful natural show.
In Sichuan, families make ciba at the Mid-Autumn Festival. They steam(蒸) sticky rice and pound(反复击打) it in a stone mortar(臼) until it becomes soft. Then they shape it into small balls and cover them with soybean flour(黄豆粉) and syrup(糖浆). Round ciba stands for reunion, and pounding means a life full of energy. The sounds of pounding and laughter fill the village, making warm festival memories.
