On August 15, 2024, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming!
Full moon night, reunion time. The Chinese people are preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. At Wenzhou Prince Equipment Co., Ltd, we believe that understanding the culture of our host country is an important part of building relationships and promoting mutual understanding. We would also like to share with you the holiday happiness and wishes.
1.Origins and Traditions
The festival has its roots in ancient Chinese culture, dating back over 3,000 years. It is closely tied to the harvest season, as it marks the end of the autumn harvest. People would offer sacrifices to the moon in gratitude for the bountiful harvest and to pray for future blessings. The full moon also symbolizes family reunion and harmony, making this holiday a time to gather with loved ones.
2.Mooncakes: A Culinary Symbol
A key tradition of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the sharing of mooncakes. These round pastries are filled with various ingredients such as sweet lotus seed paste, red bean, egg yolk, and even modern flavors like chocolate or ice cream. The round shape represents the moon and the idea of unity. Families and friends exchange mooncakes as a gesture of goodwill, often enjoying them together while gazing at the full moon.
3.A modern celebration
In contemporary China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a public holiday, and many people go back to their hometowns to spend time with their families. Besides eating mooncakes, other activities include lighting lanterns, some of which are intricately designed, to enjoy the beauty of the full moon. In some areas, there are all kinds of fish lamps, each fish lamp is like a spirit swimming in the moon sky, flashing a warm and mysterious light. They not only light up the way home, but also light up the softness and expectation in everyone's heart.
