FREE Mid-Autumn Festival Kit & View My IGTV Live Bicultural Parenting Discussion with Indigrow
The Mid-Autumn Festival, a Chinese holiday commonly known as the Moon Festival, starts on September 21, 2021. The holiday is celebrated on the day the moon is the fullest which is traditionally the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.
Originating over 3,000 years ago, Chinese emperors worshiped the moon in the autumn to bring a bountiful harvest. It was also a time for families to reunite spiritually with their loved ones who have passed.
One of the holiday’s traditional stories is about the legend of the Moon Goddess who lives on the moon. She longs to be reunited with her beloved Hou Yi who gazes at the moon in hopes that he’ll catch a glimpse of her. To celebrate this festival, families come together and eat mooncakes. The mooncakes’ roundness not only represents the moon but also symbolizes family unity and wholeness.
