The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. It has its origins in ancient China, dating back over 3,000 years to the Shang Dynasty. The festival is a time to give thanks for the harvest and to admire the full moon, which is considered a symbol of unity and prosperity. It is a time for family reunions, and people enjoy mooncakes, a traditional pastry filled with various sweet or savory fillings, and engage in activities like lantern riddles and appreciating the beauty of the full moon. The festival is also associated with the ancient Chinese myth of Chang'e, the Moon Goddess, who is said to live on the moon with her companion, the Jade Rabbit.
