The Significance of Mid-Autumn Festival

As September got in the way, we will be celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival on 17th September 2024. This celebration is believed to be the second most significant event in Chinese culture after Chinese New Year. It brings us to wonder, what makes this celebration so meaningful? Let’s discover it today!

1. Harvest Celebration
   Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a moon worship ceremony as a grateful gesture for a bountiful harvest. It was also a celebration to mark the end of the agricultural year and a night to hope for another prosperous harvest in the years to come.
2. Family Reunion
   On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon shines at its brightest and the fullest, symbolizing wholeness and unity. Like the full moon, this occasion brings family closer and gathers as loved ones return home to share a special meal and reconnect.
3. Strengthening Bonds
   This festivity is often celebrated by exchanging or sharing mooncakes. Rather than enjoying a whole mooncake alone, it’s customary to slice it into six or eight pieces and share them with your loved ones. It is believed that sharing mooncakes is a way to deepen connections and nurture strong relationships!
