As a reminder, the Mid-Autumn Celebration or Moon Festival is a traditional event observed in many East and Southeast Asian countries, on the evening of the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. The exact date of this festival may fluctuate around September or early October according to the Gregorian calendar, depending on the year. The fifteenth night of the lunar calendar coincides with the full moon. During this festival, the moon is said to be the roundest and brightest of the year, although this claim is open to question. This brightness symbolizes family unity and the reunion of loved ones.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is considered one of the two most significant events in the Chinese calendar, the other being the celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year. It is recognized as a public holiday in many Asian countries.
It is also known as the"Mooncake Festival", in reference to the mooncakes traditionally eaten during this period. In certain regions of China, such as Shanghai, it is also customary to enjoy ravioli, notably xiaolongbao or huntun, which are southern specialties.
In short, a great way to celebrate and discover a new culture!
