Using 中秋节快乐
中秋节 is the Mid-Autumn Festival: 中 (middle) plus 秋 (autumn) plus 节 (festival) — the “mid-autumn festival”, held on the 15th night of the eighth lunar month. Adding 快乐 (happy) gives the standard greeting families exchange over mooncakes and tea while looking at the full moon.
A shorter version, 中秋快乐, is equally common in speech. In Traditional Chinese the full form is 中秋節快樂 — 节 becomes 節 and 乐 becomes 樂. For heritage families this is the phrase kids write on lantern crafts and on cards sent to grandparents, alongside 月亮 (the moon) and 月饼 (mooncake).
