YCIS Chongqing Celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival 金秋送桂香，趣味迎佳节
At YCIS Chongqing we are always looking for opportunities to celebrate traditional Chinese festivals in a unique way, while still maintaining the importance of these events within our calendar.
This year our students have showcased their respect and recognition of Chinese culture as well as their good wishes to the people they miss and love, through creative designs and artwork throughout the campus.
通过这些创意作品，学生们展现了对中国文化中“团圆”的理解，寄托了自己的爱和祝愿。
Our Primary students focused on ‘The full moon brings reunion’ in doing so they experienced an array of celebrations in their classrooms.
为迎接中秋佳节的到来，重庆耀中国际学校小学部的师生们以“花好月正圆”为主题开展了一系列迎中秋的趣味活动。
From lantern and rabbit making to calligraphy and pendant design, along with some letter writing, they even dug into the origin of the Mooncake!
制作灯笼、挂件、画玉兔、中秋主题书法、给亲人写信，以及体验非物质文化遗产游戏——”中秋博饼”等；丰富多样！
It was the ‘Mooncake design competition’ that got most of our students talking as this was an opportunity to bring our school community together with students and parents collaborating on the design. Students from different countries and regions were able to incorporate their own cultural and international background into the design.
月饼图案设计比赛最吸引眼球。小学部的每位同学都和家人一起设计了独具特色的月饼图案。玉兔、飞龙、桂花等传统中国元素出现在了许多的作品中，但更多的设计者们将各自国家的文化和特色元素也融合到了设计之中。这个比赛让我们整个社区从活动到文化都“团圆”在一起。
Students from all year levels selected various ways to celebrate the festival, while also learning about its history and culture significance. This experience then encouraged them to express their best wishes to their family, friends, and people around the world!
“海上生明月，天涯共此时”，不同的形式，同样的情感。这段经历让同学们在收获更多的中国传统文化知识的同时，对家人、朋友和这个世界产生了更美好的期盼。
