THE JEALOUS OF SOULS: 10/01/2009

The Mid Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Cake Festival, or in Chinese,called Zhongqiu Jie. It is a very popular harvest festival celebrate by Chinese people, Korean people, Japanese people and Vietnamese people even though they celebrate it differently.The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is usually around late September or earlyOctober in the Gregorian calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumn and spring Equinoxes of the solar calendar, when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of this festival is the moon cake, of which there are many different varieties.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the few most important holidays in the Chinese calendar, the others being Chinese New Year and Winter Solstice, and is a legal holiday in several countries. Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomelos together.
