Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is celebrated by millions of people across East Asia, particularly in China. It falls on the 15th day of the 8th month in the lunar calendar, when the moon is believed to be at its fullest and brightest.
This festival is a time for family reunions. People gather with their loved ones, admire the full moon, light lanterns, and enjoy delicious mooncakes. The celebration is imbued with symbols and legends, like the poignant love story of Chang'e and Houyi. 🌝
