What is the Moon Festival?
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a Chinese festival that is held in mid-September to Early October on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon. The moon is said to be the fullest and brightest on this day, and it coincides with the mid-autumn harvest.
The festival has been celebrated for over 3000 years and is an important part of Chinese culture. During the festival, lanterns of all kinds are displayed, and delicious pastries called mooncakes are enjoyed. It’s used as a time to connect with loved ones, exchange gifts, and appreciate cultural practices, with three core concepts.
- Gathering- Friends and family get together to celebrate and family reunions take place. Another form of gathering is also practiced in the form of harvesting crops for celebrations.
- Giving Thanks- Exchanging mooncakes and showing appreciation for the harvest are ways to give thanks.
- Praying- People pray for all sorts of good fortune, including longevity, beauty, and more.
Celebrating in these ways includes gift giving and decorating, and MyUS can help you find gifts ranging from traditional classics to modern finds and all the best décor to ensure that your celebrations are decorated beautifully.
