"We will enjoy not only ancient Chinese poetry but also the masterpieces of the great Arab poets. This literary encounter embodies the profound cultural exchange between the Chinese and Arab civilizations. More than two thousand years ago, the Chinese and Arab peoples began to exchange arts and ideas via the ancient Silk Road, where poems served as cultural bridges linking seas and mountains."

The Mid-Autumn Festival, taking place annually on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar, will be observed on Sept. 17 this year.
