This festival is the second-most important event in China and has become a family holiday like Thanksgiving. We at DOR\u00c9 by LeTAO would like to share the history behind this meaningful holiday.<\/p>\n<p>The Mid-Autumn Festival was traditionally celebrated by worshipping the moon, thanking the moon goddess for the year\u2019s harvest and praying for a better one the coming year. This began when a Chinese archer, Hou Yi was tasked with shooting 9 of the 10 suns that were scorching and killing crops and people alike.<\/p>\n<p>Once successful, Hou Yi was rewarded with the elixir of life, which would grant him and his wife Chang&#8217;e eternal life if drunk together. However, the archer\u2019s apprentice Feng Meng, wanted immortality for himself and tried stealing it from Chang&#8217;e. Realizing she couldn\u2019t defeat him herself; she drank the elixir herself and ascended to the moon.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Hou Yi would always put her favorite food out in the garden in remembrance of her and as a token of gratitude. This was the start of many moon worships to come. The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated by hosting family gatherings, eating mooncakes, and releasing flying lanterns.<\/p>\n<p>In other countries, ancient traditions are still preserved such as fire dragon dancing, sweeping ancestor tombs, and eating sticky rice balls while admiring the moon. Nowadays, the festival is a symbol of happiness, gratitude, family bonding, and is a great way for those celebrating to relax and have a good time while praying for good fortune.<\/p>\n<p>This is the history behind The Mid-Autumn Festival.<\/p>\n<p>Have you heard of it before?
