It is on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar.We also call it the Moon Festival. We believe that the moon is at its roundest and brightest at this time of the year.The Mid-Autumn Festival dates back more than two thousand years. It was to celebrate the harvest of the year. Later, the festival gained more cultural meanings. It is now a symbol of family reunion and gratitude.
