The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. Its origins date back to the Shang Dynasty, over 3,000 years ago. The festival is primarily celebrated to honor the moon and to express gratitude for the harvest.

According to legend, the festival originated from the story of Chang'e, a beautiful moon goddess who descended to Earth. Her husband, Hou Yi, was a legendary archer who shot down nine suns to save humanity. In gratitude, the gods presented him with a potion that could make him immortal. However, Hou Yi shared the potion with Chang'e, and she swallowed it, causing her to float to the moon. Since then, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been celebrated to honor Chang'e and her journey to the moon.
During the festival, families gather to enjoy mooncakes, a round pastry symbolizing the full moon. Mooncakes are filled with sweet or savory ingredients, such as lotus seed paste, red bean paste, or salted egg yolk. The festival also involves watching the moon, lighting lanterns, and playing traditional games.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for families to come together, appreciate the beauty of the moon, and express their love and gratitude. It is a celebration of unity, harmony, and the appreciation of nature's bounty.
