Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival

How the Festival Started ?

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a traditional festival

celebrated in Chinese culture. Similar holidays are celebrated by other cultures in East and Southeast Asia.

In China, the Mid-Autumn festival symbolizes the family reunion and on this day, all families will appreciate the

Moon in the evening, because it is the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar, when the

moon is at its fullest. There is a beautiful myth about the Mid-Autumn festival, that is Chang'e flying to the Moon.

How to celebrate it?

The festival was a time to enjoy the successful reaping of rice and wheat with food offerings made in honor of the

moon. Today, it is still an occasion for outdoor reunions among friends and relatives to eat mooncakes and watch

the Moon, a symbol of harmony and unity.

① A notable part of celebrating the holiday is the carrying of brightly lit lanterns, lighting lanterns on towers, or

floating sky lanterns.Another tradition involving lanterns is to write riddles on them and have other people try to

guess the answers.

② Making and sharing mooncakes is one of the hallmark traditions of this festival. In some areas of China, there

is a tradition of making mooncakes during the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.The senior person in that household

would cut the mooncakes into pieces and distribute them to each family member, signifying family reunion
