[Its Moon festival/Mid-autumn festival!]
■When
On the 15th of August in our Lunar Calendar, which means this year 2019 it is celebrated on 13th of September.
(The full moon on this day is the roundest in the year)
■What do we do?
Like Chinese new year, on this day it is important for family to gather together.
We have a Chinese saying: 月圓人團員
When the moon is full, the family should be... full?! (Which means gather together)
The image in most Taiwanese's head on this day would be: the whole family sitting together eating pomelo/ mooncake/ Barbeque while enjoying the image of the moon.
Of course nowadays, it might be barbecuing nonstop with your friends but...
■What shall you eat:
*Mooncake!
(Go to any bakery, or even 711!! You will find them. This is one of the reason we gain a lot of weight during this time)
Why: On this day we used to worship the moon and this was one of the offerings.
*Barbeque!
Why: I'm not sure how this started, but definitely don't have to go back to the ancient times. Pretty sure it was because of some merchants...
But creates a unique scene for this day, people barbecuing right on the street in front of their house (and the whole street is doing that)
Pomelo!
Its mainly because it's a seasonal fruit I'd say (after all the bbq and mooncake~we really need sth healthy). But definitely, it stands an important role in moon festival! And after you have finished, dont waste the skin of it! Seriously, just like the picture, we used to do that when we were kids.
So~happy moon festival

🎯 BÀI VIẾT THAM KHẢO:
1. Autumn in Hanoi
" With me, autumn is the most beautiful season in Hanoi, when the climate is cool and dry but still sunny. Autumn in Hanoi begins when people can feel the smell of alstonia scholaris (that means milk flowers) in the streets at cool nights and it lasts from September to November before getting cold. People need to wear a light overcoat or a cardigan when go out. Hanoi in autumn is truly romantic and peaceful. You can see the many yellow and red leaf trees along the streets, the sky is bluer, and the water in many lakes of Hanoi is greener. It is also good time to enjoy the mid-autumn festival, one of the biggest festivals each year in Vietnam celebrated on the lunar August, 15th. Besides milk flowers with special smell, daisy is an autumn’s specific flower, along with Cốm (green rice flakes) – a specialty of Hanoi in this season."
2. Why Autumn Is the Best Season?
" Fall is my favorite season. All the leaves from the trees and plants change into multi-colored works of art and fall away. It creates bare, and vulnerable branches, revealing the true scenery underneath. It also represents a beautiful cycle of loss, regeneration and regrowth once the spring season comes around. The dead leaves and branches on the ground disintegrate and turn into part of the soil, which are used as seeds and fertilizer later once the cold welcomes the warmer weather. There are many reasons why I love fall and why I think it’s the best season, but here are just a few.
- The trees change color
In the southern part of the United States, all the seasons are very apparent. The spring season is very green, the summer is very hot, the winter very cold and the fall is full of magnificent colors. The maple trees are especially vibrant with colors of red, golden yellow and combinations of both. When I was younger we called them “tree stars” from the movie “Land Before Time” and to this day they are my favorite trees when the season changes. This season is perfect for taking beautiful scenic photos and spending time outdoors. Nothing can relax and rejuvenate more than enjoying nature and the surrounding scenery.
- The weather is perfect
With cooler temperatures rolling in, saying goodbye to summer and hello to fall is not a hard thing to do. It’s a great time to break out the jackets, coats, boots, scarves and hats in preparation for the change in season. It’s also the perfect time to start making hot cocoa, and lighting a fire in the fireplace. This season creates a sense of comfort, warmth and reflection. It’s a great time to go camping, fishing, go on a road trip or anything else where you can spend quality time with family and eat good food.
- It brings back memories
Fall was my mother’s favorite season, and every year when it rolls around it creates a flood of memories and reminds me of the beautiful person she was. She used to quote this poem from Dixie Willson, all the time, but even more so when the autumn was in full swing.
The Mist and All Poem
I like the fall,
The mist & all.
I like the night owl’s
Lonely call
And wailing sound
Of wind around.
I like the gray
November day,
And bare, dead boughs
That coldly sway
Against my pane.
I like the rain.
I like to sit
And laugh at it
And tend
My cozy fire a bit.
I like the fall
The mist and all.
author, Dixie Willson
It’s one of the many things I learned from her when I was young, that poems have a way of capturing your soul and uncovering a deeper connection within yourself. Her demeanor changed when the weather started getting cooler, she would spend more and more time outdoors. She had a sense of peace and thankfulness that I hope to convey to those around me.
- It’s full of family holidays
Autumn is one of the most packed holiday seasons. There’s the back to school rush, Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course Christmas. But it’s not just full of regular holidays, these are all very involved, family centered holidays. This is a season to be thankful, and to be surrounded by the people you love.
It’s a perfect time to change up your decorations, add orange, red and yellow colors and pull out the spice scented candles. To think over the past year, what you’ve been through, the memories you’ve made together and to look forward to a new and exciting year. Another reason I love the holidays is for the food. You generally won’t eat nearly as good during this season compared to the rest of the year. Autumn is not only the best time of year, out of all four seasons but it’s also the most scenic and beautiful if you love being outdoors. It’s all about family, food and creating memories."
