Mid-Autumn Festival


繁體Português简体日本語 


Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday. Since ancient times, China has been an economy dominated by farming. Therefore, in response to this mode of life, the ancients combined science with agriculture and developed a calendar suitable for farming. It is called the lunar calendar and has a history of more than 3,000 years.

 

The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the 15th of the lunar calendar, in the middle of the autumn, and may therefore be called the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival has several characteristics, one is the full moon. The second is the autumn harvest. The third is reunion. With the development of society and historical changes, many legends have appeared in the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as The girl "Chang-Er" flying to the moon, the legend of the jade rabbit, etc., as well as historical deeds, such as the people using moon cakes to convey information to uprising against the tyranny of dictatorship.

 

In the Mid-Autumn Festival in Macau, the three traditional Chinese elements of the moon, moon cakes and lanterns are the main elements. Macao's hand-letter and cake shop also specially launched festival gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival, creating various Mid-Autumn moon cakes; the flashfly pictures also have a fireworks display version, which adds light effects to the paintings, allowing people to enjoy fireworks at home.
