Group: Doraemon Team Subject: Mid-Autumn Festival Tan Da reborn and the lesson at Mid-Autumn Festival’s night The magical story takes place at modern time, when it is nearly the end of August, and September is only inches away from today On every street of this city, people rushes busily, preparing for the new Mid-Autumn Festival coming nearby The shops hang plenty of colorful lanterns, from normal red, orange to complicated yellow patterns Moon cake is on sale all over the roads and alleys Toys for kids are diversed that they color the town with a mixture of colors Vietnamese people are looking forward to another marvellous holiday, and so us We decide to take a trip to Luong Nhu Hoc street in district which is very famous for its special name: “Lantern District”, to enjoy the flavor of our special holiday coming soon The atmosphere is marvellous and so fun that we barely can say a thing when we arrive The whole street is filled up with various lanterns, colorful and bright This lanterns world brings us14 and 15 boys and girls-back to our childhood “There is the star lantern, comes with a carp one There is the swan and here comes the butterfly I’m bringing the lanterns to the moon The green and the purple ones In joys and colorful lights.” Suddenly, in distance we see an old man walking towards us in baggy form In his hand is an empty wine bottle, while he struggles to walk and screaming out loud: “I’m Tan Da! I’m reborn! I’m back!” Then he recites the famous poem “Wanna be Cuoi” in hiccups caused by drinking too much wine… “Ms.Hang…It’s too sad down here this night I’m fed up with this life and people No one is sitting next to you, right? By the banyan tree…take me there and I won’t fall There will be no sadness, only the word “nice” You and I will hang out with clouds and wind It will be fun for all…fun for all…” The poem won’t end until two more verses, but he is so drunk, so drunk that he can’t finish it, instead falling down on the street Afraid that “Tan Da” will be hurt, we run as fast as we can to help him up _Silent!-He shouts aggressively-I need nobody but Ms.Hang only, tonight is boring down here, where have nothing to compare with my hometown up there _Why would you say that? It’s nice down here!-Tan gives his idea _There’s nothing but down here!-He fights back cruelly-There’re Pearl Rabbit, beautiful dancers up there! Way more better! I still can remember the day a thousand years ago, I and Duong Minh Hoang, together enjoy drinking tea, eating cake on the Moon He enjoyed it so much that he even forgot that it was morning already When he came back, because he missed the Moon so much, he ordered everybody to take that day, make it became a National Festival, which is today _Why could Duong Minh Hoang-a normal person-would be able to appear on the Moon?-Hoa asked _It was up to Diep Phap Thien-Duong Minh Hoang’s magician-did a spell to bring him there at Full Moon night-Mai answered _Oh so that reveals the mystery! My granny didn’t tell me about that legend She just taught me that Mid-Autumn Festival is the time for farmers to sacrifice foods and things for Moon God, to rest and to foretell the next season’s fate _That was 2000 years ago when the festival started to be introduced to Vietnamese people Vietnam was an agricultural country then and our ancestors’ main jobs were farmers That answers why we Vietnamese people used to look at the Moon to foretell future, which was important to farming August 15th was also the time for everybody to rest after a hardworking season-“Tan Da reborn” is quite alert now- Vietnamese’s Mid-Autumn Festival has many differences, which includes many customs like watching the Moon, eat Moon cake,etc… _I love Moon cake very much!-Mai is as pert as always-I don’t know if there is any relationship between Moon cake and Duong Minh Hoang -your friend? _Of course-“Tan Da reborn” ‘s eyes glow when his old friend is mentioned-After coming back, he ordered the cook to make God cake; when there’s a full moon, he and his’ officials eat that cake while enjoying the Moon It became a custom since then There are kinds of Moon Cake: Soft and Baked Soft cake is round, while Baked ones are square Soft cake is the icon of reunion The original Moon cake has a thin crust, inside has sweet flavor with a little amount of oil The core of the cake is a salted-egg to create balance between sweet and salty The cake is then baked after being designed by the baker _Every Mid-Autumn Festival coming, the first thing I wish is Moon cake I like modern cake very much-Phat adds- Modern cakes have diverse cores such as green beans, sausages, taros with chocolate, coffee ,etc I love cake with shapes of pairs of pigs, schools of fish, or leaves, flowers with rabbits, bunnies ,etc… _Those things are terrible-“Tan Da reborn” says In my time, Moon cakes are much more delicious I remembered the time when I was eating Moon cake with fruits such as grapefruits, jam, etc… ‘’Offering?’’ Tan asked.’’ I haven’t heard about that before.’’ “Oh no! The young generation doesn’t know anything about many traditional practices”, commented Tan Da "The offering is made up of a grapefruit shaped into a dog with two beans used as the dog’s eyes Surrounding the offering are different kinds of moon cakes such as baked cakes, sticky rice cakes, vegetarian cakes formed into a pig, piglets or a carp The usual fruits prepared during these days are bananas, green rice flakes, persimmon, unripe persimmon and custard apple…and grapefruit is something we can’t miss When the moon rises at exactly the right time then it’s time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival That is the real way of celebrating the moon festival.” "Oh, I’ve heard about that’’, Hoa exclaimed "Aside from making offerings, children in Vietnam play with lanterns The lanterns are made in order to represent the stars in the sky In the early days, they made lanterns using bamboo sticks, cellophane, and a candle, which is placed inside Nowadays, lanterns are made of plastic materials made into different shapes, usually require batteries and play music too." "I don’t really prefer the modern lantern.’’ Tan Da said "Who puts music of Tay Du Ky and Bethoveen in a lantern? Before, every time I saw the light of a lantern, it made me happy However, the modern lantern has lost its spirit Moreover, there are also practices regarding the use of lanterns Have you ever brought lanterns all over town while singing traditional songs? Right now, that is no longer practiced in Vietnam." "Not really.", Tan disagreed "Last 2005 in Phan Thiet, a lot of primary and secondary students gathered and observed the traditional practice of bringing the lanterns around town This celebration broke a new record of being the biggest event that ever happened in Vietnam." "Really? That’s great’’, Tan Da replied happily “Knowing that traditional celebrations still take place nowadays makes me feel at ease Chinatown in District 5, Hoi An and Tan Binh district are the main producers of lanterns in Viet Nam Every year, I visited those places to feel the spirit of the Mid-Autumn festival But those times are over Now people just care more about improving the city while forgetting to remember our tradition." "We still have the lion dance", Mai said "Every year, people still perform the lion dance on the street The Lion, showcased in many colors, while dancing with the Earth god reminds us of a Chinese legend." “What is that story, Mai?", everyone asked “Can you tell us about it?” “This is legend of the Lion Dance Long time ago, during the day of the festival, there was an old woman who tried really hard to get a baked cake and a sticky rice cake for the Mid -Fall festival When she was passing through the forest, she was attacked by a lion and it wanted to devour her She was so afraid so she begged the lion to let her go and instead she would come back on the next lunar for the lion to eat her The lion accepted." “Oh, that was scary! And what happened next, Mai?” Hoa asked “The woman had a happy moon festival but when she the thought about the next lunar day came to her, she became upset She cried a lot and the Earth god heard her He felt for the old woman so he went to the lion’s cave to drive it away And that’s where the lion dance started From then on, many people have observed and enjoyed the lion dance “ “Now, the lion doesn’t embody anything bad It embodies good fortune, prosperity and happiness” Tan completed “Wherever the Earth god and the lion go, people cheer for them through hanging vegetables and red hanging decors outside of their houses Nowadays, people usually hang some money, covered with red cloth and also vegetables like cabbage When this is done, the lion will try to climb up to get the hanged money or vegetables The lion dance shows love and concord between animals and human in a joyful and peaceful manner “That’s great” “You’re good” Tan Da praised everyone “At least Mai and Tan know something about the MidAutumn festival.” “Is there any difference between the old and modern moon festivals?” Phat asked “Of course, yes”, Tan Da answered “The old and modern Mid-Autumn festivals have a big difference The old festival used to be for children So parents made offerings as well as lanterns for the children to have fun When the moon is at its brightest, families come together to eat the moon cakes and to watch the moon That’s why Mid-Autumn festival is also called Gathering Festival The Mid-Autumn festival was also fun because there were a lot of activities in those days like lion dancing, offering, or going around town to have fun The Mid-Autumn festival didn't only give us profits, it also gave us happiness But now…" He looked at all of us and then told us in a sad voice “The Mid-Autumn festival is different This festival is not for children anymore, it is for all the ages Old or young people all enjoy the Mid-Autumn festival Nowadays, we only think about “playing" and not “dining together" anymore People organize a lot of games or shows but there is no time for family The simple moon cake has become too expensive which is worth at least a hundred thousand dong Long time ago, people used to give cakes to others so they could contribute something in the offering But now, Mid-Autumn festival has become the time to try to win someone's heart which breaks the true value of the Mid-Autumn festival Now, you have to study during the day of the Mid-Autumn festival so it's hard for you to enjoy it At the same time, you have lots of movies to watch, lots of attractive activities, so you don’t have time for family to watch the moonlight together Offering is also not as simple as it was Now offerings for the Mid-Autumn festival have become so costly." Go, only at countryside… We look at the ground under our feet without looking at each other To be honest, “Tan Da” is absolutely right Every passed Mid-Autumn festivals before, we didn’t stay at home but hanging out with our friends The busy life with modern technology has changed our cultures which have been existed for a long time We haven’t known yet about the feeling of waiting for the Moon, reunioning with our families…Mid-Autumn—Reunioning Season! _You are still lucky whenever you still have families to sit together-“Tan Da” reborn cut our thoughts Like me, I have no friends but only Ms.Hang, who hasn’t invited me to join her on the Moon for years Why don’t you come home now? Look at the orphans and solitary old people, they have no families! You guys are very lucky to have all members there to love and care for each others Go home now! “Tan Da” ‘s speech wakes us up Yeah absolutely, we have to go home now, our home sweet home to enjoy this wonderful festival with our deer parents and grandparents, our siblings too It’s only a real Mi-Autumn festival when you sit altogether with all your families, eating food, drinking tea waiting for the Moon to rise We don’t know if that guy really is “Tan Da” reborn, but however he gave us a faithful lesson which we shall never forget about MidAutumn Festival He, somehow, has reminded us about our beautiful culture which tells us to be with our families all the time, that even if you’re successful or failed, your family is still there for you to lean on We wish you a merry Mid-Autumn Festival with your families and acknowledge the truth behind this fascinating festival! ... Tan Da praised everyone “At least Mai and Tan know something about the MidAutumn festival.” “Is there any difference between the old and modern moon festivals?” Phat asked “Of course, yes”, Tan. .. terrible- Tan Da reborn says In my time, Moon cakes are much more delicious I remembered the time when I was eating Moon cake with fruits such as grapefruits, jam, etc… ‘’Offering?’’ Tan asked.’’... "Really? That’s great’’, Tan Da replied happily “Knowing that traditional celebrations still take place nowadays makes me feel at ease Chinatown in District 5, Hoi An and Tan Binh district are the
