What is the
Mid-Autumn Festival?
|
|
|
Every
year on the 15th day of the eighth lunar
month is held the Mid-Autumn Festival. According
to the ancient calendar, the eighth lunar
month is in the middle of autumn, and the
15 th day of the month is in the middle
of the month. On that night, the moon is
supposed to be brighter and fuller than
in any other month and the moonlight the
most beautiful. In China, a full moon is
symbolic of family reunion, so the day is
also known as “The Day of Reunion.”
