When you think of the Mid-Autumn Festival, what do you think of first?
Is it to share a warm night with your family under a full moon, or to gather with friends to explore the flavors of different mooncakes? No matter what it is, I believe it will become an unforgettable memory that will be cherished by everyone.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Reunion Festival, is a traditional Chinese folk festival. Since ancient times, Mid-Autumn Festival has included folk customs such as appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes, watching lanterns, and appreciating sweet-scented osmanthus, which have been passed down to this day and are enduring.
On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the bright moon hanging in the sky is at its most saturated, and this is the best time to appreciate the moon. People looked up at the moon in the garden and made good wishes such as "the toad palace will win the crown" and "it looks like Chang'e, and the garden will be like a clean moon".
Mooncakes are a traditional delicacy of the Mid-Autumn Festival and are known as "reunion cakes" among the people. Mid-Autumn Festival is the harvest season. Every household imitates the outline of the moon and makes reunion cakes, which are used as gifts to relatives and friends to express cordial greetings. They are also a link between family reunions.
Reunion is the core meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a part of traditional Chinese culture, but also a symbol of family reunion and inheritance. No matter where you are, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for people to miss their hometown and relatives.
Finally, I would like to take this special holiday to wish you all a happy family reunion and success in your career!
