- Hou Yi And The Ten Suns: A Chinese Folktale
- Description
- Every year on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, when the full moon is at its roundest, Chinese families gather to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festivities. The full moon symbolizes reunion and completeness. No matter how far apart they may be, family and friends feel connected when they look up at the same moon. Narrated by Karlie Leung Produced and animated by Aurélie Beatley [Catalog No. CFV10637; Copyright 2014 Smithsonian Institution]
