Mid-Autumn Festival is a big thing in China, and eating mooncakes with family members is a must. It’s the the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar year – the middle day of autumn and the day of the full moon. It’s the day that family members sit together and enjoy mooncakes and a peaceful night with the brightest moon. Mooncakes symbolize family reunion. In Chinese culture, roundness symbolizes completeness and togetherness. A full moon symbolizes prosperity and reunion for the whole family. Round mooncakes complement the harvest moon in the night sky at the Mid-Autumn Festival. The mooncake is not just a food.
