Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋节

The fifteenth day of the eighth lunar monthis the Mid-Autumn Festival, a celebration that focuses on the moon.

Enjoying the beauty of the full moon on this day has been a long-standing tradition Chinese custom for centuries.

The roundness of the full moon expresses people's desire for a wholesome happy family.

Eating moon cakes is an important custom during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Due to the different diet habits in different regions, moon cakes vary in taste.Traditional flavours include fillings of five kernel, egg yolk, jujube paste and bean paste.

Now there are new flavors like ice cream and durian.

Although the taste of moon cake is changing,the symbolic meaning of the full moon remains unchanged and the Chinese custom of eating moon cake and longing for reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival will never fade away.

After a short get-together during the Mid-Autumn Festival,the Double Ninth Festival, a festival of renewal growth and cherishing the past is just around the corner, led by the old and the wise.
