The Mid-Autumn Festival is believed to have started during the Zhou Dynasty. One legend says that it originated from the worship of Chang’e, the goddess of the moon. Another legend says that it began as a harvest festival.
Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival is still a time for family and friends to get together, enjoy the full moon, and eat mooncakes. Mooncakes are round or square pastries filled with lotus seed paste, bean paste, or fruit. They are often eaten with tea.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a time for children. They often go out at night to play with lanterns and look for the moon. In some places, people set off fireworks.
