Hong Kong: Happy Autumn Moon Festival! 祝大家中秋節快樂!!!
Hong Kong 2012: In times of Austerity, the citizens of Hong Kong decided to organise a 十八區月餅收集 – 平等分享行動, I am very proud of Hong kong’s ability to try to gather the right resources to provide “mooncakes” to those who are elderly, maybe alone and do not have “moon cakes”……That is the True spirit of chinese community…NOT bizarre theoretical communism….concept is really simple…..someone doesn’t have something near you, you notice it, you try to share and ask others to! It is called Generosity! Simples!
Drinking Alone by Moonlight (月下獨酌) By 李白, Li Ba
花間一壺酒。 A pot of wine, amidst the flowering orchard;
獨酌無相親。 I drink alone, with neither kin nor friends.
舉杯邀明月。 Raising my cup I toast the luminous moon,
對影成三人。 Moonbeam; my shadow & I; we are three.
月既不解飲。 The moon refused my wine;
影徒隨我身。 My shadowy disciples stand by me.
暫伴月將影。 As the moon befriends us.
行樂須及春。 Beckoning me to go with the merriment of spring
我歌月徘徊。 To the songs I sing, the moon flickers her beams;
我舞影零亂。 In the dance I weave my shadow gathers & scatters.
醒時同交歡。 While sober, we , three shared the fun;
醉後各分散。 Drunk, we go each our own way.
永結無情遊。 With this eternal dispassionate bond,
相期邈雲漢。 We meet in all the terrains of sky & earth.
The rest I can’t be bothered translating. This is the whole poem. 🙂
花間一壺酒，獨酌無相親。
舉杯邀明月，對影成三人。
月既不解飲，影徒隨我身。
暫伴月將影，行樂須及春。
我歌月裴回，我舞影零亂。
醒時同交歡，醉後各分散。
永結無情游，相期邈雲漢。
天若不愛酒，酒星不在天。
地若不愛酒，地應無酒泉。
天地既愛酒，愛酒不愧天。
已聞清比聖，復道濁如賢。
賢聖既已飲，何必求神仙。
三杯通大道，一斗合自然。
但得酒中趣，勿為醒者傳。
三月咸陽城，千花晝如錦。
誰能春獨愁，對此徑須飲。
窮通與修短，造化夙所稟。
一樽齊死生，萬事固難審。
醉後失天地，兀然就孤枕。
不知有吾身，此樂最為甚。
窮愁千萬端，美酒三百杯。
愁多酒雖少，酒傾愁不來。
所以知酒聖，酒酣心自開。
辭粟臥首陽，屢空饑顏回。
當代不樂飲，虛名安用哉。
蟹螯即金液，糟丘是蓬萊。
且須飲美酒，乘月醉高台。

Hello , I noticed that https://ceciliawyu.wordpress.com/2011/09/10/happy-autumn-moon-festival/ is ranking pretty low for some keywords, this may be due to the new Google Panda update, or it could be due to a variety of other factors. I’m sure you already know about On-page SEO, where Google cares highly about proper formatting of various H1/H2/H3 tags, having your main keyword appear in the beginning of your post and having your post end with the keyword, along with having keyword related alt tags and very relevant LSI.
However, you do not seem to have the proper Keywords or relevant Keywords in your posts and in the website. Right now you need a tool or plugin that will allow you to check on Keyword insights, search trends and check for backlink analysis and to find out your Keyword competition.

The rest of my blogs do okay….I get decent repeat hits so will check out your link but unlikely need it for now. Thanks.
