The Mid-Autumn Festival,also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival,is a traditional festival celebrated in Chinese culture.It is one of the most important holidays in Chinese culture;its popularity is on par with that of Chinese New Year.The history of the Mid-Autumn Festival dates back over 3,000 years.The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night,corresponding to mid-September to early.
October of the Gregorian calendar.On this day,the Chinese believe that the Moon is at its brightest and fullest size,coinciding with harvest time in the middle of Autumn.
Lanterns of all size and shapes,are carried and displayed–symbolic beacons that light people's path to prosperity and good fortune. Mooncakes,a rich pastry typically filled with sweet-bean,egg yolk,meat or lotus-seed paste,are traditionally eaten during this festival.The Mid-Autumn Festival is based on the legend of Chang'e,the Moon goddess in Chinese mythology.
The festival celebrates three fundamental concepts that are closely connected:
Gathering,such as family and friends coming together,or harvesting crops for the festival.It is said the Moon is the brightest and roundest on this day which means family reunion.Consequently,this is the main reason why the festival is thought to be important.
Thanksgiving,to give thanks for the harvest,or for harmonious unions.
Praying(asking for conceptual or material satisfaction),such as for babies,a spouse,beauty,longevity,or for a good future.
