What is Mid-Autumn Festival?
(we also call it Mooncake Festival),why we call it this name because it includes Greetings, Traditions, Food, Stories…
Now I will tell you some things about it.
The Mid-Autumn Festival also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a traditional
festival celebrated in Chinese culture. Similar holidays are celebrated in Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and
other countries in East and Southeast Asia.
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.
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 a 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 a good future
Traditions and myths surrounding the festival are formed around these concepts, although traditions
have changed over time due to changes in technology, science, economy, culture, and religion. It's
about well-being together.
How We Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival in China?
Enjoying a Dinner with Family:
The roundness of the moon represents the reunion of the family in our Chinese minds.
Families will have dinner together on the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The public holiday (usually 3 days) is mainly for Chinese people working in different places to have
enough time to reunite.
Those staying too far away from their parent's home usually get together with friends.
and this year TopTiTech also has 3 days in Mid-Autumn Festival from 10th of Sep to 12th of Sep.
we will enjoy this holiday with family together. but due to the epidemic, to avoid the spread of new
coronary pneumonia in BaoJi, we should have dinner with
our own family, we believe that we will get through the difficulties and do our own prevention and
control， and we will back to normal life as before: work, study,have party......Love my family, Love my
company, Love China, Love everything.
2. Eating Mooncakes
Mooncakes are the most representative food for Mid-Autumn Festival. Their round shape and sweet
flavor symbolize completeness and sweetness.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival, we eat mooncakes together with family or present mooncakes to relatives
or friends, to express their love and best wishes.
Mooncakes are usually eaten after dinner while admiring the moon. TopTiTech also hopes you have
good things every day.
3. Appreciating the Moon
The full moon is the symbol of family reunions in Chinese culture. It is said, sentimentally,
that “the moon on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival is the brightest and the most beautiful”,
we usually set a table outside their houses and sit together to admire the full moon while enjoying
tasty mooncakes.
TopTiTech is praising the beauties of the moon and expressing people’s longing for their friends and families in Mid-Autumn.
4. Worshiping the Moon
According to the legend of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a fairy maiden named Change lives on the moon
with a cute rabbit. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people set a table under the moon with
mooncakes, snacks, fruits, and a pair of candles lit on it. Some believe that by worshiping the moon,
Change (the moon goddess) may fulfill their wishes.
Of Course, you can do many different things at Mid-Autumn Festival to have fun with your friends,
your family, your colleagues, and your relations. but usually, we do these 4 points things in the family.
and TopTiTech wish you all the best, good health, not just the Mid-Autumn Festival,but also and
happiness every day. Hope we can be good partner in your interested business with us( TopTiTech).
