8th Commission for 
Qing-long
Qing Long in Mooncake Festival.
On a hill with Qing Long overlooking the sea and some boats on the water with lanterns.
A small table next to Qing Long with a tea pot, cup and a mooncake to add to the mood and a lantern for light.
The festival is intricately linked to the legends of Chang E, the mythical Moon Goddess of Immortality. According to "Li-Ji", an ancient Chinese book recording customs and ceremonies, the Chinese Emperor should offer sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. The 15th day of the 8th lunar month is the day called "Mid-Autumn". The night on the 15th of the 8th lunar month is also called "Night of the Moon". Under the Song Dynasty (420), the day was officially declared the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Because of its central role in the Mid-Autumn festival, mooncakes remained popular even in recent years. For many, they form a central part of the Mid-Autumn festival experience such that it is now commonly known as 'Mooncake Festival'.
This artwork special made to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, today September 19th, 2013.
