The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional folk holiday for the Chinese people. Folk customs such as revering and admiring the moon, eating mooncakes, playing lantern games, admiring osmanthus flowers, and drinking osmanthus wine have been practiced since days of yore and continue to be observed to this day, an enduring tradition. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times and became mainstream during the Han period. It became the form as we know it today at the beginning of the Tang dynasty, and flourished after the Song dynasty. The full moon symbolizes the reunion of people, and carries longing thoughts of one’s hometown, family bonds, as well as aspirations of harvest, and joy coming full circle...
Tonight, wherever you are, remember that we are all gazing at the same moon shining its light on all of us in this universal home. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone! Link: ytube.io/3Vwg

The Great Wall of China is a military defense project in ancient China and was listed as a world cultural heritage in 1987. The history of the Great Wall can be traced to the Western Zhou Dynasty. This is where the famous classic "Lighting the beacons to fool the Marquises" originated. After the Qin Dynasty defeated the six states and united China, the Qin Emperor connected and repaired the great walls of the warring states, which formed the Great Wall of China. Let's listen to "Troops Rallying to the Drum" and feel the majestic presence of the Great Wall of China!

#长城 是中国古代的军事防御工事,1987年被列为#世界文化遗产 。其修筑的历史可上溯到西周时期,著名典故"烽火戏诸侯"就源于此。 秦灭六国统一天下后,秦始皇连接和修缮战国长城,始有万里长城之称。今天来跟小编一起听《金鼓点兵》,带你看长城万里,山峦叠嶂,感受鼓声擂动、烽烟滚滚的磅礴气势!
