China’s traditional Mid-Autumn Day falls on 24th September this year. For Chinese, they watch the moon and eat moon cakes. But for foreigners, what this festival means? And how much do you know about this “reunion” day? Today we will share information about Mid-Autumn Day in three aspects.

I. Origin of Mid-Autumn festival
In Tang Dynasty (618BC-907BC), it was very fashionable in the upper class to watch the moon, drink sweet wine and eat delicious food. Under the guidance of the upper class, more and more people began to imitate their actions, even social people improved this action, and they began to gather and throw parties.

It was until the Northern Song Dynasty (960BC-1127BC) that this fashion became popular among ordinary people. And Zhao kuo, emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127BC-1279BC), declared there was one-day holiday to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival.

II. The origin of eating moon cakes
In the Sui and Tang Dynasty, a general who was inspired by the full moon, and invented the round cakes to solve the military grain problem, which was known as small cakes, palace cakes, moon cakes.
After the Northern Song Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn festival has a meaning of reunion; so people began to eat moon cakes on this day to express their homesick and lovesick.

III. One of the taboos on Mid-Autumn festival
 goes thus: "male does not worship the moon, which means the men with masculine features, does not match with the moon. (According to China’s special culture, Yang, such as the sun, stands for men, and Yin, such as the moon, stands for women.) So the custom of worshiping the moon originally is only suitable for females to participate. Such a wonderful holiday for all of us this season.

As we all know, BitEDU is keenly interested in education. At the moment it has two apps, one is a BBank wallet. This wallet has the basic functions of paying, transferring, receiving and checking the market of currency. BEU(BitEDU tokens) and tokens issued by various institutions coexist in the BBank wallet, and all tokens must be marked with BEU. That is, there is no circulation between the project tokens. If the circulation is needed, it needs to be converted into BEU first.

However, the other APP is an education platform, which allows educational agencies to enter freely. Only points are allowed to circulate on this platform, and each educational agency can obtain points by selling education service.

The relationship between the two APPs: The output of the wallet APP must be BEU, The platform APP can only keep points, There is a certain exchange rate between the points and BEU, and the rate fluctuates based on the current market situation.

The mission of BitEDU is to create a public blockchain education ecosystem. Focusing on everyone’s learning growth path, it vertically subdivides the industry, and continues to attract new participants. It constructs a lifelong education ecosystem and realizes lifelong learning incentives through an open and transparent economic system, to achieve point-to-point information symmetry as well as the elimination of the marginal cost of intermediaries. One can obtain lifelong benefit through the Token mechanism, share win-win opportunities for mutual education, and create equity in education.
The BitEDU public blockchain uses BEU as a medium and builds various application scenarios based on blockchain technology and smart contracts for users to meet their lifelong learning trajectory, such as learn & share, education crowdfunding, job recruitment, and competition events. The Token will be accompanied by a life cycle and used in different scenes. Each time and every stage of the efforts will be marked for the accumulation and embodiment of learning value.The BitEDU public blockchain fully supports developers to use, develop and access their applications and resources. By providing the DApp, API, SDK and other items for core applications, the value transfer and Token consumption can be realized by deployment in the open community platform.The BitEDU public blockchain fully supports ecological partners to facilitate the application/development of resources and achieve resource realization, promotion, and the acquiring of new users. Eventually, it will create a lifelong education ecosystem blockchain platform that is decentralized, worldwide, spreading into the industry, rights and interests sharing, and value co-producing.
The BitEDU team has a strong technical background as well as industry resource integration capability. They have achieved an agreement on the cooperation of the blockchain with communities, taking into account different application scenarios and user scales, resources providers, as well as services providers, in order to build a lifelong education ecosystem public
