South Korea also has Mid-Autumn Festival. What are the similarities and differences between their Mid-Autumn Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival in China?

South Korea's Mid-Autumn Festival is more like Tomb-Sweeping Day in our country, because it is not a festival to promote family reunion, but more a custom to worship ancestors. So this is different from the Mid-Autumn Festival in our country. Therefore, every country has its own cultural differences. As long as it respects and understands each other, it can also be respected and understood by other countries.

South Korea will choose to worship ancestors and relatives in the Mid-Autumn Festival to express their grief. Therefore, this day is not a gathering time for South Korea, but a festival to express sadness. However, this is the opposite of the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival in South Korea is more like Tomb-Sweeping Day in our country, because our country only chooses to worship ancestors in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for China people to get together, because on this day many people who work and study in other places will go home, have a family reunion dinner, and then enjoy the moon with their families. So for China people, this day is very happy, and now the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a legal holiday. Therefore, China people have more time to reunite with their families. So this day will be very busy at home.

So every country has its own customs. Although the names may be similar, they are not very similar in nature, as long as they respect each other and understand each other. Never question other people's manners and customs at will, because that will lead to a series of contradictions.
