The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth Chinese lunar month.
This festival is closely related to the moon. People believe that on that night, the moon is the fullest and brightest of the year, symbolizing reunion and harmony. Therefore, family members usually get together to enjoy the full moon and have a big dinner. One of the most important foods during the Mid-Autumn Festival is mooncakes. Mooncakes come in different flavours and fillings, such as lotus seed paste, red bean paste, and egg yolk. They are round in shape, which also represents reunion.
In addition to enjoying the moon and eating mooncakes, there are also some other activities during the Mid-Autumn Festival. For example, some people like to tell stories about the moon and Chang'e, which adds a mysterious and romantic atmosphere to the festival. Children may
also carry colourful lanterns and play games in the moonlight.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family members to get together and express love and best wishes to each other. It is full of warmth and happiness.
