Every family will choose the place with the brightest moonlight to put incense tables and melon and moon cakes. Moon cakes are made at home, using flour fermented at home. In a round pot, turn the cake over and bake it slowly with low fire, so that the baked moon cakes will have a fresh taste.

After the offerings on the incense table were arranged, the elderly people in the family lit incense in the incense burner, and people bowed down before the incense table a month ago. Girls all hope that a cloud can float in front of the moon at this time to prove their beauty, but if such a cloud covers the moon for too long, people will be afraid, especially the elderly will panic and guess whether the moon has been eaten by the dog. That's an unknown omen.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family sat together and began to share fruits and moon cakes. The children listened to the old man's story about the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon while eating. How many people are there in the family? Everyone eats one, and remember to leave one for someone when he is not at home.
