The traditional Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar every year. This is the middle of the autumn season of the year, hence the name Mid-Autumn. In the Chinese lunar calendar, the year is divided into four seasons, each of which is divided into three parts: the Meng, the Zhong and the Quarter, thus the Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon on the fifteenth day of the eighth month is fuller and brighter than the full moons of other months, which is why it is also called ‘Moon Festival’ and ‘August Festival’. On this night, people look up at the bright moon in the sky like a jade disc and naturally look forward to family reunions. People who are far away from their hometowns also take this opportunity to express their nostalgia for their hometowns and loved ones. Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as ‘Reunion Festival’.
