Sichuan Cuisine Encounters The Mid-autumn Festival

中秋月圆，自古皎月就被视作阖家团圆的象征，中秋佳节，因此又称团圆节。一轮圆月耀天心，边赏月边畅食便是中国流传已久的传统风俗之一。“小饼如嚼月，含有酥和饴”，每到中秋，家家户户品月饼、赏佳肴、人团圆。

Since ancient times, the moon has been regarded as a symbol of family reunion, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Reunion Festival. It is a long-standing traditional Chinese custom to enjoy the full moon while eating some delicacies such as moon cakes, seasonal delicacies and home cooking at the same time.

川菜，作为中国八大菜系之一，是中秋团圆之际必不可少的美味，也是中华美食的一张闪亮名片。

Sichuan cuisine, one of the eight major Chinese cuisines, is also an essential delicacy on the occasion of Mid-Autumn reunion. Sichuan cuisine is a typical representative of Chinese food culture and a shining calling card of Chinese cuisine.
