Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, is one of China’s most important traditional festivals. It symbolizes family reunion and gratitude for the harvest. On this day, families gather to enjoy a feast, share mooncakes—a round pastry symbolizing completeness—and admire the full moon, which represents harmony and unity.
According to legend, the moon shines brightest on this night, reminding people of the ancient tale of Chang’e, the Moon Goddess. Many also travel to scenic spots to appreciate the moonlit landscapes. For those far from home, the festival evokes nostalgia, as they gaze at the same moon and cherish memories of loved ones.
The Mid-Autumn Festival not only preserves Chinese culture but also strengthens family bonds through shared traditions and joy.
