    Chinese Mid-autumn Festival

    Mid-Autumn is a traditional festival in Chinese. It's also called Autumn festive, August festival or Reunion festival and so on. It's often on August 15th in lunar calendar every year. The reason for celebrating the festival during that time is that it is the time when the moon is at its fullest and brightest.
    In my view, in Ancient times the officer and businessman are always having three activities to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival: eat the crab that produced in the yangcheng lake, eat moon cake, view and admire the moon and the chrysanthemum. Every family has a good dinner in the Mid-Autumn Festival.


    After dinner, people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round, and wish their family safety and blessedness. The Mid-Autumn Festival ranks as one of China’s top 3 lantern festivals, even if it doesn’t boast such large-scale lantern shows such as those exhibited during the Lantern Festival. However, playing with lanterns brings great pleasure to children and families, making it the perfect pastime during this family-based holiday. At night the moon is usually round and bright, they enjoyed the moon while eating moon-cakes which are the special food for this festival. Besides, they looked back on the past and looked forward to the future together. 
    The Mid-autumn festival is one of the two most important occasions in Chinese calendar (the other being the Spring Festival or the Chinese New Year) and it is an official holiday. It is a time for families to be together, so people far from home will gaze longingly at the moon and think about their families.
    In 2017, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on October 4. There are many festival supplies such as card, lantern, festival decorations on our website for you to choose.
