The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is one of China’s four major traditional festivals. It originated from moon worship and harvest celebrations. The festival is usually held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon is the roundest and brightest, symbolizing reunion and completeness.

Traditions include eating mooncakes, moon gazing, and carrying lanterns. Mooncakes are more than just food—they represent family reunion and blessings. In ancient times, families would place mooncakes, fruits, and tea in their courtyards while admiring the moon, expressing longing and good wishes.

Beyond China, countries such as Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia also celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, each with its own unique customs but with the same focus on family and togetherness.

Today, the festival is not only about family gatherings but also an opportunity for sharing blessings and cultural exchange. No matter where people are, they celebrate by moon gazing and sharing mooncakes to express love and remembrance.
