The Hebrews' thanksgiving is called Sukkoth (or Hag Ha Sucot and Hag Ha Asif).
Sukkoth is celebrated each Autumn.
A succot in English is a hut (in French: "cabane"). The first 2 nights, the families eat in the evening when the sky is black.
The Israelites made the huts fourty years ago. The huts are built with branches and inside there is fruit
and vegetable.
The Chinese have got a festival who's called Chung Ch'ui on the 15th day on
the 8th month that is to say on the 15th August. It is the moon's birthday. On the night, they saw a rabbit, not a man, on the moon's
face.
On this special day, they cook rabbit and cakes and eat pig, meal, fruits and "moon's
cakes".
Formerly, when China had been conquered by ennemies armies, Chinese found themselves homeless and with no
food.
When the Chinese decided to attack, the woman cooked moon's cakes which were distributed to every
family.
Every year moon cakes are eaten in memory of this victory.

The Chinese celebrated their festival Chung Ch'ui with the full moon that fell on the 15th August. This day was considered the birthday of the moon and special "moon cakes". Each cake was stamped with the picture of a rabbit - as it was a rabbit, not a man, which the Chinese saw on the face of the moon.
