Are there any special Mid-Autumn Festival customs in your local area?

First, eat moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Let's talk about a well-known Mid-Autumn Festival custom, called August 15th. Everyone knows that mooncakes are usually eaten on this day. In fact, this custom has been handed down for a long time and has a long history. I remember when I was a child, my grandmother always told me something about the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was profound to me, because my grandmother often told me fairy stories when I was a child, such as the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. In fact, these stories were very special when I was a child. It is also reflected in previous poems, because every Mid-Autumn Festival, round moon cakes also symbolize reunion, so there is a saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival moon is round and the family is reunited, so moon cakes have been circulated for a long time, and now almost every household knows the custom of eating moon cakes. Of course, it is also necessary to eat moon cakes in our present society. After all, this is an ancient custom.

Eating moon cakes also symbolizes reunion, because at this time, families usually get together, and moon cakes are generally sweet, which is a sign of hard work and a yearning for reunion and sweetness in life.

Second, play with lanterns in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because Lantern Festival is an activity of Mid-Autumn Festival, these activities are our entertainment. In fact, this festival is also quite special, because this day is also a good opportunity for girls and boys to date, and it is also an ancient custom. Generally, some ordinary families will hang Yuanxiao, because children prefer it. At the same time, you will see flowers with different design styles hanging in different homes or different parts of the street, and the scene is very spectacular.

Therefore, playing with lanterns is not only a kind of entertainment, but also a custom of Mid-Autumn Festival. Because most children also like to watch lanterns, lanterns are also upgrading and constantly updating and growing.

Third, have a reunion dinner on Mid-Autumn Festival.

Everyone is familiar with this, because every Mid-Autumn Festival is a round and round day, and it is especially happy to go home and have dinner with my family, because many people who are away from home may not be able to go home, but they will also call home to say hello, because they are away all the year round, in fact, such people account for a lot, because it is not easy for people in this line to earn some extra money when they are far away from home. Generally, people who don't go home will eat moon cakes at night to show their yearning for their hometown, because some people really want to go home for a reunion dinner, while others will go home to have a reunion dinner with their parents.
