# Chinese Life in the Tibetan Foothills/Book 6/Midautumn Festival

Midautumn Festival (中秋節), chung ch'iu chieh, The Eighth Moon Feast
This is the third time for collecting debts, equally important with the 5th moon, but of course less so than the time before the New Year.
Yüeh kuang hui is the moon festival. On the evening of the 15th the moon is worshipped. At this particular season the moon is said to give forth different kinds of light and some declare that the heavenly beings can be seen in the moon. It is also said that Wu Kang (吳剛) can be clearly seen at this time hacking away at the Olea fragrans, but the tree still stands. A lunar eclipse at this season is very unlucky.
Little round cakes are made called moon cakes, the centre of which is black, being made of lentils, boiled soft and then baked. Some cakes are white in the centre, being made ​with flour and sugar, some are red, made from flour and rose-water. At this time walnuts, pears, and pomegranates are presented, all being round like the moon, and it is hoped by offering these that the family affairs will be prosperous "all round."
Sha chia t'a tzũ, "to kill the Manchu of the family," is an expression which, some say, refers to the Tartars of the Yuan dynasty, others say it refers to the Ch'ing dynasty. It is commonly believed that a Manchu was billeted in each home. A plot was made to kill them on the 15th of this moon, the secret sign being a ticket giving the date to be put inside the moon cakes. The plot was carried out, and the family Manchu became the t'u ti of the family. In this eighth moon the anniversary of his death is observed. The black hearts of the moon cakes are said to represent the hearts of the Tartars.
On the evening of the 15th children put a lighted stick of incense on to the end of a bamboo pole and lift it high in the air. This is called shua hsing hsü to play at stars.
Similarly branches of the pumelo-tree are taken and sticks of lighted incense fixed to the twigs and held high in the air. This practice is now gradually falling into disuse.
This is the time when teachers' salaries are due and children take presents to them. The teacher gives the children pencils. The head of the beggars, the keeper of the city gate, and the night watchman all collect their dues from the shopkeepers and private residences. The fifth and eighth moon feasts and the New Year are the great feasts of the Chinese people.

Specific Character and Synonyms.
Descr. This appears to constitute a large shrub, or small tree, with rather thick, rounded branches, clothed with a thin pale tomentum. Leaves scattered, four to six inches long, linear-cuneate, coriaceous, rigid, often truncated at the extremity, the margins coarsely dentato-serrated, almost spinulose, the base attenuated into a very slender, pale yellow-green petiole: the upper side is glabrous, dark green, and glossy, very obscurely veiny, below paler, the vein and veinlets glabrous, the areolæ or lacunes filled with white down. Flowers of an uniform, rather pale, and dull yellow, densely collected into a broadly-oblong, terminal head. Scales very hairy, deep orange. Perianth slender silky, tubular at the base: the lacinæ filiform, spathulate at the extremity, and there hollowed for the reception of the anther. Style as long as the perianth.
For a fine specimen of this, likewise accompanied by a drawing, I am indebted to W. T. Aiten, Esq. It was received at Kew from Francis Henchman , Esq. in 1824: the seeds having a short time previously been gathered, on the South-Western Shores of New Holland, between Cape Arid and Lucky Bay, by Mr. Baxter.
It is nearly allied to B. marcescens, (already figured at Tab. 2803 of the present work) between which and B. attenuata it is placed by Mr. Brown. At Kew Gardens its flowering season is August.

Descr. A much branching shrub; branches flexuose, glabrous, clothed with a brown bark. Leaves alternate; often -- often fasciculated, on short branches, patent or reflexed, very rigid, lanceolate, glabrous, below only furnished with several rather long, rigid, dark-coloured hairs, deeply pin- natifid, the segments patent, triangular, acute and mucro- nate, dark green above, paler beneath, marked with nume- rous reticulated, slightly elevated veins, which are glabrous, while the small areolæ are white as if mealy. Involucre terminal, solitary, of numerous imbricated, linear scales, clothed with short, dark brown hairs, surrounded by a sort of ray of numerous leaves. Flowers numerous, long, slen- der, yellow, deeply divided into four very narrow, linear laciniæ, slightly enlarged upwards, in which portion the linear anthers are, as it were imbedded. Pollen copious, and as well as the anthers, yellow.
In the inestimable Prodromus Fl. Novæ Hollandiæ of Mr. Brown, thirteen species of Dryandra are enumerated, and in the Supplement to the same work, twelve new spe- cies are added; all of them, as Mr. Brown observes, natives of the South-western shores. "It is worthy of remark" says that gentleman, "that while Banksia is generally spread over all the coasts of New Holland and of Van Diemen's Island, Dryandra has hitherto been observed only on that part of the South coast called Lewin's Land where, however, its species are nearly as numerous and abundant as those of Banksia itself." D. armata was dis- covered by that gentleman in the country just mentioned, and from seeds sent from thence by the late Mr. Fraser, plants have been raised in the Glasgow Botanic Garden, which flowered in February, 1833.

Specific Character and Synonyms.
Descr. Root perennial, somewhat fusiform, the upper part dividing, as it were, into two or three short stems, which bear a cluster of elliptical, lanceolate, petiolated, entire, thickish, nerveless, purplish leaves; and amongst these, but principally occupying the circumference, are several beautiful and highly curious pitcher-shaped apppendages or operculated ascidia, attached by rather stout petioles where the lid unites with the margin of the ascidium. Their form is ovate or somewhat slipper-shaped, between foliaceous and membranaceous, green tinged with purple, furnished with two lateral oblique wings and one central one, the latter remarkably dilated at the margin, and all
For our knowledge of the rare and highly curious plant, having ascidia or appendages of the famous Nepenthes, but belonging to Natural Order Rosaceæ, we are indebted to M. Labillardiere, who discovered it in "Leuwin's Land," and figured and described it in his "Specimens of the Plants of New Holland." Mr. Browne, during his voyage with Capt. Flinders detected it on nearly the same line of coast, namely, "in the neighbourhood of King Georges Sound, especially near the shores of Princess Royal Harbour, in 35° S. lat. and 118° E. long.; beginning to flower about the end of December." From specimens there gathered, the species has been illustrated
3119.
​by that profound Botanist, so as, aided by the pencil of Mr. Bauer, to leave nothing to be wished relative to its structure, save what might be obtained from a knowledge of the seed, which is still a desideratum.
Capt. King brought over living plants of Cephalotus to the Royal Gardens of Kew in 1823, which flowered in August, 1827. From these individuals and the drawing liberally communicated by Mr. Aiton, and some noble dried specimens from King George's Sound, for which I am indebted to Mr. Fraser, the accompanying figures and description have been made.
Recently, I believe, growing plants have been brought home by Mr. Baxter, which are flourishing at the Clapton Nursery.

Specific Character and Synonyms.
Descr. Root descending, somewhat filiform, flexuose, bearing a few fibres, and, at the extremity, two rounded bulbs, about the size of peas. Stem a span or more high, erect, bearing two to three small bracteiform, sheathing leaves. The greater number of the leaves, however, are radical, oval, striated and reticulated, tapering below into a petiole. Flower terminal, solitary, erect, large, the three upper segments of the perianth are oblong, standing so close as appearing to form but one piece, arched at the top,
​whitish, streaked with green, the extremity brown. Two lower segments combined for half their length, so as to form one erect, green piece, about equal in length to the rest of the flower, and having two acuminated and rather spreading segments. Labellum lanceolate, erect, reddish-green, having at its base a penicellate appendage pointing downwards. Columns erect, greenish, with two broad, white wings occupying the upper half, and standing forward, projecting into a blunt lobe at the base, and at the extremity into a subulate lobe. Anther sessile, inserted between the two upper lobes of the wings, two celled, each cell bearing two flattened pulverent pollen=masses.
The curious and beautiful New Holland Genus Pterostylis is known to Botanists by Mr. Brown's excelllent character, and by the splendid designs and analysis of one species (P. grandiflora,) executed by Mr. Bauer: but no where, perhaps, has any species been cultivated, except at the Royal Gardens at Kew, whence Mr. Aiton has most kindly communicated drawings of three species which had flowered in that rich collection. The present individual was marked as P. grandiflora: but it differs from Mr. Brown's plant so named, the prescence of large radical leaves, in the different shape of the labellumm and, especiallt, in the much shorter segments of the lower lip of the flower. To me it appears to agree better with the character of P. curta, as well as with a specimen in my possession ot the plant, for which I am indebted to Mr. Brown. In our plant, howeverm the lower lip is nearly, if not quite, equal in length with the galea, while in Mr. Brown's P. curta it is shorter.
The specimen here figured was sent by Mr. Allan Cunningham, and flowered at Kew in October, 1829. The species was discovered by Mr. Brown in the neighbourhood of Port Jackson.
