The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is a traditional folk reunion festival. It's called "the moon is full in the sky, and the world gathers." Families get together for the holidays, and people who work outside try to go home for the holidays and enjoy the moon and eat cakes. Once upon a time, adults coaxed their children to enjoy the moon. If they got the "moonlight", they would be happy all their lives. In the past holiday nights, cities and rural areas often organized "poetry throwing" activities, and some street villages also burned tile towers and lit lanterns (Kongming lanterns). Folks who believe in women burn incense and pray silently in front of the Buddha, and then personally or send children to the corner of others' doors to eavesdrop on others' speeches, and take the first sentence they hear as the basis for judging good or bad luck. This bad habit called "listening to incense" is really ridiculous, but the custom of eating moon cakes and enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival has been preserved to this day.
