Greetings Billy, The sunrise was truly beautiful but the colorful skies only lasted maybe ten minutes. The clouds change so quickly when the sun comes up, especially when it has to shine on the bottoms of the clouds.

Greetings YBMW, Alfred and Eva, Thanks so much for visitng the "new" sunrise and making such wonderful comments. Sometimes the beautiful things in life only last a moment and we have to capture it with our mind's eye. The camera helped with the clarity of the image over time and now we can share our experiences with the Panoramio forum. I think that is kind of cool. Thanks again for visiting.

To:. Richard Ryer ..每年農曆八月十五日，是傳統的中秋佳節。這時是一年秋季的中期，所以被稱為中秋。在中國的農曆裡，一年分為四季，每季又分為孟、仲、季三個部分，因而中秋也稱仲秋。八月十五的月亮比其他幾個月的滿月更圓，更明亮，所以又叫做“月夕”，“八月節”。此夜，人們仰望天空如玉如盤的朗朗明月，自然會期盼家人團聚。遠在他鄉的遊子，也藉此寄託自己對故鄉和親人的思念之情。所以，中秋又稱“團圓節”。

我國人民在古代就有“秋暮夕月”的習俗。夕月，即祭拜月神。到了周代，每逢中秋夜都要舉行迎寒和祭月。設大香案，擺上月餅、西瓜、蘋果、紅棗、李子、葡萄等祭品，其中月餅和西瓜是絕對不能少的。西瓜還要切成蓮花狀。在月下，將月亮神像放在月亮的那個方向，紅燭高燃，全家人依次拜祭月亮，然後由當家主婦切開團圓月餅。切的人預先算好全家共有多少人，在家的，在外地的，都要算在一起，不能切多也不能切少，大小要一樣。

相傳古代齊國醜女無鹽，幼年時曾虔誠拜月，長大後，以超群品德入宮，但未被寵幸。某年八月十五賞月，天子在月光下見到她，覺得她美麗出眾，後立她為皇后，中秋拜月由此而來。月中嫦娥，以美貌著稱，故少女拜月，願“貌似嫦娥，面如皓月”。

在唐代，中秋賞月、玩月頗為盛行。在北宋京師。八月十五夜，滿城人家，不論貧富老小，都要穿上成人的衣服，焚香拜月說出心願，祈求月亮神的保佑。南宋，民間以月餅相贈，取團圓之義。有些地方還有舞草龍，砌寶塔等活動。明清以來，中秋節的風俗更加盛行；許多地方形成了燒鬥香、樹中秋、點塔燈、放天燈、走月亮、舞火龍等特殊風俗。

今天，月下游玩的習俗，已遠沒有舊時盛行。但設宴賞月仍很盛行，人們把酒問月，慶賀美好的生活，或祝遠方的親人健康快樂，和家人“千里共嬋娟”。

中秋節的習俗很多，形式也各不相同，但都寄託著人們對生活無限的熱愛和對美好生活的嚮往。

中秋節的由來與傳說：

中秋節有悠久的歷史，和其它傳統節日一樣，也是慢慢發展形成的，古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的禮制，早在《周禮》一書中，已有“中秋”一詞的記載。後來貴族和文人學士也仿效起來，在中秋時節，對著天上又亮又圓一輪皓月，觀賞祭拜，寄託情懷，這種習俗就這樣傳到民間，形成一個傳統的活動，一直到了唐代，這種祭月的風俗更為人們重視，中秋節才成為固定的節日，《唐書·太宗記》記載有“八月十五中秋節”，這個節日盛行於宋朝，至明清時，已與元旦齊名，成為我國的主要節日之一。

中秋節的傳說是非常豐富的，嫦娥奔月，吳剛伐桂，玉兔搗藥之類的神話故事流傳甚廣。

中秋傳說之一——嫦娥奔月

相傳，遠古時候天上有十日同時出現，曬得莊稼枯死，民不聊生，一個名叫后羿的英雄，力大無窮，他同情受苦的百姓，登上崑崙山頂，運足神力，拉開神弓，一氣射下九個多太陽，並嚴令最後一個太陽按時起落，為民造福。

后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和愛戴，后羿娶了個美麗善良的妻子，名叫嫦娥。后羿除傳藝狩獵外，終日和妻子在一起，人們都羨慕這對郎才女貌的恩愛夫妻。

不少志士慕名前來投師學藝，心術不正的蓬蒙也混了進來。

一天，后羿到崑崙山訪友求道，巧遇由此經過的王母娘娘，便向王母求得一包不死藥。據說，服下此藥，能即刻升天成仙。然而，后羿捨不得撇下妻子，只好暫時把不死藥交給嫦娥珍藏。嫦娥將藥藏進梳妝台的百寶匣裡，不料被小人蓬蒙看見了，他想偷吃不死藥自己成仙。

三天后，后羿率眾徒外出狩獵，心懷鬼胎的蓬蒙假裝生病，留了下來。待后羿率眾人走後不久，蓬蒙手持寶劍闖入內宅後院，威逼嫦娥交出不死藥。嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙的對手，危急之時她當機立斷，轉身打開百寶匣，拿出不死藥一口吞了下去。嫦娥吞下藥，身子立時飄離地面、衝出窗口，向天上飛去。由於嫦娥牽掛著丈夫，便飛落到離人間最近的月亮上成了仙。

傍晚，后羿回到家，侍女們哭訴了白天發生的事。后羿既驚又怒，抽劍去殺惡徒，蓬蒙早逃走了，后羿氣得搥胸頓足，悲痛欲絕，仰望著夜空呼喚愛妻的名字，這時他驚奇地發現，今天的月亮格外皎潔明亮，而且有個晃動的身影酷似嫦娥。他拼命朝月亮追去，可是他追三步，月亮退三步，他退三步，月亮進三步，無論怎樣也追不到跟前。

后羿無可奈何，又思念妻子，只好派人到嫦娥喜愛的後花園裡，擺上香案，放上她平時最愛吃的蜜食鮮果，遙祭在月宮裡眷戀著自己的嫦娥。百姓們聞知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息後，紛紛在月下擺設香案，向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。

從此，中秋節拜月的風俗在民間傳開了。

中秋傳說之二——吳剛折桂

關於中秋節還有一個傳說：相傳月亮上的廣寒宮前的桂樹生長繁茂，有五百多丈高，下邊有一個人常在砍伐它，但是每次砍下去之後，被砍的地方又立即合攏了。幾千年來，就這樣隨砍隨合，這棵桂樹永遠也不能被砍光。據說這個砍樹的人名叫吳剛，是漢朝西河人，曾跟隨仙人修道，到了天界，但是他犯了錯誤，仙人就把他貶謫到月宮，日日做這種徒勞無功的苦差使，以示懲處。李白詩中有“欲斫月中桂，持為寒者薪”的記載。

中秋傳說之三——朱元璋與月餅起義

中秋節吃月餅相傳始於元代。當時，中原廣大人民不堪忍受元朝統治階級的殘酷統治，紛紛起義抗元。朱元璋聯合各路反抗力量準備起義。但朝庭官兵搜查的十分嚴密，傳遞消息十分困難。軍師劉伯溫便想出一計策，命令屬下把藏有“八月十五夜起義”的紙條藏入餅子裡面，再派人分頭傳送到各地起義軍中，通知他們在八月十五日晚上起義響應。到了起義的那天，各路義軍一齊響應，起義軍如星火燎原。

很快，徐達就攻下元大都，起義成功了。消息傳來，朱元璋高興得連忙傳下口諭，在即將來臨的中秋節，讓全體將士與民同樂，並將當年起兵時以秘密傳遞信息的“月餅”，作為節令糕點賞賜群臣。此後，“月餅”製作越發精細，品種更多，大者如圓盤，成為饋贈的佳品。以後中秋節吃月餅的習俗便在民間流傳開來。

中秋節詩詞選：

《中秋》 （唐）李樸皓魄當空寶鏡升，雲間仙籟寂無聲； 平分秋色一輪滿，長伴雲衢千里明； 狡兔空從弦外落，妖蟆休向眼前生； 靈槎擬約同攜手，更待銀河徹底清。

《八月十五夜玩月》 （唐）劉禹錫天將今夜月，一遍洗寰瀛。 暑退九霄淨，秋澄萬景清。 星辰讓光彩，風露髮晶英。 能變人間世，攸然是玉京。

《水調歌頭》 （宋）蘇東坡丙辰中秋，歡飲達旦。大醉，作此篇，兼懷子由。 明月幾時有？把酒問青天。 不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年？ 我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇， 高處不勝寒！起舞弄清影，何似在人間？ 轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠。 不應有恨，何事長向別時圓？ 人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。 但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。

《中秋月》 （宋）蘇軾暮雲收盡溢清寒，銀漢無聲轉玉盤， 此生此夜不長好，明月明年何處看。

《太常引》 （宋）辛棄疾一輪秋影轉金波，飛鏡又重磨。 把酒問姮娥：被白髮欺人奈何！ 乘風好去，長空萬里， 直下看山河。斫去桂婆娑。人道是清光更多。

台灣民謠： 《中秋旅思》 孤影看分雁，千金念弊貂；故鄉秋憶月，異國夜驚潮。 手未攀丹桂，以猶卷緣蕉；登樓悲作賦，西望海天遙。

《月夜思鄉》 星稀月冷逸銀河，萬籟無聲自嘯歌； 何處關山家萬里，夜來棖觸客愁多。

《煎熬》 夜深沉，明月高掛天正中，寂無聲；睡眼朦朧， 恍若夢中；生臥徘徊以不寧，故國家園縈腦中； 苦煎熬，歸去成空，如焚王衷。..... by Peter curry..2007/9/25[.Tuesday星期二.] at Taiwan.[use Chinese and English]

Greetings Peter, Thanks so much for the folk story. I'm afraid my translator did not do complete justice to the text, but I believe I did get the general meaning you wanted to convey. Thanks for taking the time to send it to me. It is nice to have additional references for the seasonal cycles and the parts the good earth, the moon, the stars and our ancestors played in the stories that have been passed down through the millenia. I appreciate your thoughtfulness as we get ready to move through autumn and into our winter months. It is nice to have our ancestors looking after us.

Greetings May, It is a wonderful letter. If you copy it and run it through different translators you will have a very good picture of what Peter wants to convey. I imagine your name will be very beautiful when you have it drawn in Chinese or Japanese characters. Of course you will have to talk with the artist for a few minutes so he or she will know you better and be able to interpret your own characters.

This shot was taken very early in the sunrise while the sun was still just on the horizon and able to shine on the bottoms of these clouds. The early light was still a deep purple/blue. It lightened up quickly. This was a very short effect. The camera also had the colors "boosted" so there was some processing done when the picture was captured. Thanks again. Glad you liked it.
