This past weekend was the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient China, where it was observed that the movement of the moon had a close relationship with the changes of the seasons and agricultural production. In the Festival, they express their thanks to the moon and celebrate the harvest. On this holiday, family members gather to offer sacrifice to the moon, appreciate the bright full moon, eat moon cake, and reunite with family members. (Travelchinaguide.com)
