Mid Autumn Fest

Send Mid-Autumn greetings for this festive occasion. The Mid-Autumn Fest (also called the Moon cake Festival, Moon Festival or Lantern Festival ) is traditionally celebrated by Chinese annually on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. The Mid-Autumn Fest has a long history where in ancient China, emperors followed the rite of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. It developed over further dynasties into a major festival of China. The Mid-Autumn Fest is full of legendary stories. The main traditions of Mid-Autumn Fest is gathering, thanksgiving and praying. In the past, families would get together to make offerings of wine, fruits and moon cakes to express gratitude for a bumper harvest as well as enjoy a reunion with relatives who live far away. Now modern urban families do not hold sacrificial ceremony but still gather for dinner, have parties, eat moon cakes, launch paper lanterns both to the sky and to the water for good luck.
