Some foreign people asked me if the mid-autumn fesitival is for worship of the moon. No, mid-autumn fesitival has nothing to do with reiligon and worship. People just admire the beauty of the moon at that night. The full round shape of the moon means reunion of the family.

Origin of Mid-Autumn Festival: Ancient China was an agricultural society. There was a bumper harvest around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people looked for an excuse to celebrate the harvest and share food.

In South East Asia, natives adopt Chinese ways of celebrating their festivities. For instance firecrackers, red packets filled with money, culinary cuisines etc. Proof of the superiority of Chinese culture and tradition

Mid-Autumn festival is a Vietnamese 🇻🇳 culture.
- China "borrowed" it and called it "Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival".
