“Zhong Qiu Jie”, which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar.It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon-an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck.Adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns.“Zhong Qiu Jie” probably began as a harvest festival.The festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it.One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat.The earth was saved when a strong archer, Hou Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns.Yi stole the elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule, but his wife, Chang-E drank it.Thus started the legend of the lady in the moon to whom young Chinese girls would pray at the Mid-Autumn Festival.In the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at “Zhong Qiu Jie” was given a new significance.The story goes that when Zhu Yuan Zhang was plotting to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty started by the Mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the Mid-Autumn mooncakes.Zhong Qiu Jie is hence also a commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han people.During the Yuan Dynasty(A.D.1206-1368)China was ruled by the Mongolian people.Leaders from the preceding Sung Dynasty(A.D.960-1279)were unhappy at submitting to foreign rule, and set how to coordinate the rebellion without it being discovered.The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon Festival was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes.Packed into each mooncake was a message with the outline of the attack.On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the government.What followed was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty(A.D.1368-1644).Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.Mid-Autumn Day is a traditional festival in China.Almost everyone likes to eat mooncakes on that day.Most families have a dinner together to celebrate the festival.A saying goes, “The moon in your hometown is almost always the brightest and roundest”.Many people who live far away from homes want to go back to have a family reunion.How happy it is to enjoy the moon cakes while watching the full moon with your family members.University, which is the Garden of Eden for students in the eyes of many people, is still doing the big job that is, making students useful to this world.Though Bill Gates can stand up to speak for his own, everyone can’t deny the importance of university.Other people believe that the young can also be educated through other ways.Yes.All we want is knowledge.All we need to do is to improve ourselves.If so, why not devote your most precious and energetic years to this Garden of Eden, in time you will not regret your deed。

Now please let me defend for myself, why I place university on such a holy state better than anything else。

From the day the first university was found(Maybe Oxford)，this world begins to define university as the right place where high(top)students should go.First, the professors in university attract us.They just like the Socrates in ancient Greek.Everyone was eager to go where the study is famous.The better the courses are, the better students it produces, the more famous the university will be.Since SAT become prevalent in Chinese mainland, it has attracted many Chinese top students to try on the project.It opens a door for us to U.S.universities: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc。

Second, University shapes us into different roles we play in society in the future.If one has the talent in leading people, it probably begins to appear in University。

While University is perfect in many people’s eyes, it has been critizing(criticized)for a long time.Many complain that they don’t get useful knowledge during the four years, it’s(It is)no better than four blank years except for balls, parties, and meeting different people.But I must say, whenever you have a goal, you will not lose yourself in university,(插入for)it’s a land of peace, but a land of challenge(vanity fair)。

On the other hand, the informal education becomes more and more useful.It furnishes a lot of people’s life, and its knowledge is immediately practiced.I admit its importance, for I myself have seen many

universities like this in England, Germany and many other European.But to spot the stuff, university should not be ignored.It can not be placed(replaced).Because the informal education is just a way for getting knowledge, it’s nothing more, but instant knowledge。

To Sum up, I prefer the university to be more effective and desirable.It is indeed the case。

A man named weixiege,who is the king of the wolrd.someday,he went to the farm.when he was beginning to grow fruits,he found his fruits stolen.what a shame.so,he came to the police station,telling the cops“Fuck,whoever stolen my wallet,you must take him out,or you all will die,do you get it?”how potent he was,but this is him,as the king of the world,he has the right.1 month passed,the money was still not found.WeiXieGe was so angry.He dicided to kill all the cops and thieves.while the execute day came,one of the cops asked“my king,I just wonder where the fruits were missing.”“QQ farm,you know?it's full of my passion”weixiege answered painfully.then all the people were yunning.But only one person was tittering allt the time.it's weixiejie who is the Queen of the world.she is the one who stolen the king's fruit.
