Chinese traditional festival: Mid Autumn Festival

Since ancient times, there have been folk customs such as sacrificing the moon, appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes, playing with lanterns, appreciating osmanthus flowers and drinking osmanthus wine on the Mid Autumn Festival, which have been circulating for a long time. The Mid Autumn Festival symbolizes the reunion of people with the full moon. It is a rich, colorful and precious cultural heritage to express the longing for hometown and relatives, and to pray for a bumper harvest and happiness.

Moon cakes, also known as moon cakes, harvest cakes, reunion cakes, etc., are offerings to the moon god in the ancient Mid Autumn Festival. At first, moon cakes were used as offerings to the moon god. Later, people gradually regarded the Mid Autumn Festival as a symbol of family reunion. Moon cakes symbolize great reunion. People regard them as festival food and use them to sacrifice the moon and give gifts to relatives and friends. Eating moon cakes has become a necessary custom for people in North and South China to celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival. On this day, people eat moon cakes to show their "Reunion".
