Traditionally, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese enjoy the Moon with family as they believe it is the symbol of family reunion. Mothers would cook at home and families would enjoy dinner together, or dine at restaurants is also popular lately. After dinner, every family will put a table of fruits, mooncakes, incense, and candlesticks outside their house or in their courtyard facing towards the moon. Worshipping the moon and wishing for good fortune to come, indeed pray for a good harvest as in the past. Sadly, the worshipping tradition is disappearing. It is rare to see this ritual in China big cities, only old town or tourist cities keep the practice these days. Yet, the practice of gazing and appreciating the moon remains.Image by thebeijinger
