Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Soon (on 10th Sep) we are going to usher in the Mid-Autumn Festival which is one of the four traditional Chinese festivals (The Dragon Boat Festival, the Spring Festival, the Tomb Sweeping Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival are known as the four traditional festivals in China).

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the ancient period (5000 years ago) and popularized from our Han Dynasty (2000 years ago) now it is known by most of the people in the world.

Many traditional and meaningful celebrations are held in most households in China, and other countries. The main traditions and celebrations include eating mooncakes, having dinner with family, gazing at and worshipping the moon, and lighting lanterns. To the Chinese, a full moon is a symbol of prosperity, happiness, and family reunion.

Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month; it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.
