Mid-Autumn Festival otherwise known as Mooncake Festival or Moon Festival, is celebrated on August 15th on the lunar calendar (on a day between 8 September and 7 October in the Gregorian calendar). It is named the Mid-Autumn Festival because the 15th day is in the middle of the month and August is in the middle of autumn. About more than 2000 years ago, this festival was a post-autumn harvest celebration to thank God after a bountiful harvest. On this day the moon is believed to be the brightest and fullest. Currently, many people are celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival such as the Chinese and Vietnamese communities abroad as well as countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia. The Mid-Autumn Festival does not have a certain regulation on the organization that will depend on the culture of that country. For example, in China, on this day families will gather and have dinner together. After dinner, they have the tradition of worshiping the full moon with the belief that it will bring good luck. There are also other activities such as lantern festivals, dragon dances, etc. The Chinese will often eat mooncakes because, for them, roundness symbolizes reunion and happiness. Other dishes eaten are usually the finished product after the crop, such as pumpkin, grapefruit, and grapes. In Vietnam, Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Children's Festival. Just like in China on this day people will eat moon cakes or give them to family and friends. Children often join a lantern parade through the streets. Instead of dragon dance like in China, Vietnam will have lion dance because this symbolizes luck and prosperity for every home. In the evening, the children will be told the story of the Moon Man-Moon Goddess-Jade Rabbit, or simply the cozy conversations with the adults or hanging out with friends. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon is at its highest, it will deal out a mid-autumn festival cake and fruit.
