Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, is an ancient holiday for Chinese. The day has important meaning because it was associated with a lot of Fairy Tales and famous poems. In the past, ancient scholars wrote articles and poems, then discussed with other to see who could express their admiration of the full moon and moonlit scene best. So the festival first appeared among the culturati, then through secularization and evolution, it was accepted by the mass of common people. In modern era, family members usually sit together, chat and eat traditional food, 'Moon Cake' is the most popular dessert on that day. While enjoy the happiness of the festival and the warmth of their family, people also recall and appreciate the experience shared with each other. Now reunion becomes the main theme of the day.
