[h2]Autumn Banquet[/h2]

The celebration goes on day and night for several days in a row. The tables are lined with all kinds of delicacies. Travelers that happen to pass by are also warmly welcomed to join the festivities. Travelers that learned of the origins of this festival from the villagers spread the news of this inspirational event, letting more people know and giving them the opportunity to share in this lovely event.

Now, the custom of the Autumn Banquet has already spread to every city and village. During the celebrations, people gain a better understanding of how truly wealthy they really are, and they also give thanks for each others' well being. I hope that this year's Autumn Banquet will warm your heart too.
