Some foreign people asked me if the mid-autumn fesitival is for worship of the moon. No, mid-autumn fesitival has nothing to do with reiligon and worship. People just admire the beauty of the moon at that night. The full round shape of the moon means reunion of the family.
Some rural villages have a tradition of ”拜月” or worshipping the moon where they make offerings of incense and moon cakes to the moon goddess. But I guess that isn’t really common anymore.
The festival often has religious significance, insofar as rituals from Buddhism and Animism are often performed at the family altar. This is especially true among diasporic populations who left--and maintained the religious significance of the event...
@@swicheroo1 They are rare, not a common practice in China. Mid autumn featival is never religious, just like other traditional festivals such as spring festival, throughout Chinese history.
@@zhengyunli800 Yep, I agree. Chinese people are often not as religious as they are superstitious (coming from a Chinese person lol). In my experience, most festivals are an excuse to go and dine with family, as family bonds are quite significant to our culture.
Origin of Mid-Autumn Festival: Ancient China was an agricultural society. There was a bumper harvest around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people looked for an excuse to celebrate the harvest and share food.
I was in your country for 6 months. I saw the cow dung festival. I mentioned this to one of my Indian colleagues and she got really mad. "We don't have that in India."
In South East Asia, natives adopt Chinese ways of celebrating their festivities. For instance firecrackers, red packets filled with money, culinary cuisines etc. Proof of the superiority of Chinese culture and tradition
Proof of BS. Many countries around the world use firecrackers for their festivals and India uses the most on a very large scale during Diwali festival and other festivals, and not just firecrackers but many different kinds of crackers and bombs.
@@neilmanx1001 Yes many uses firecrackers, but in Southeast Asia, it's Chinese influenced. Also, red packet with money as gift and Chinese influenced cuisine...He's correct but a little boastful in his choice of words
@@neilmanx1001Genuine firecrackers use black powder, which is a Chinese invention, but Indian firecrackers use curry, the two are not the same, genuine vs non genuine.
nobody saying it's Skyfall, mooncake sales is down, compare to last year, but it's not a Skyfall. main reason is mooncake is a traditional festival food, and not really a morden taste. in other words, it taste bad.
no, the history of the festival dates back over 3,000 years in Ancient China, nothing to do with Vietnam, even the country name "Vietnam" (越南) originated from Chinese.
Its nothing important actually. The ancient chinese pay homage to the moon based on two legends. One is a lady sacrificed herself and stop a tyrant from being immortal to end his ambitions. The second legend is about how rebels use notes hidden in cakes to spread message to rebel on a full moon night to end tryanny rule. Both are now distant memories far removed from today people already. The festival have also become nothing more than a commercial opportunity to sell you unhealthy overpriced cakes by now. You have the choice whether you want to celebrate it or not. It depends on yourselves on what exactly do you want to celebrate on this day for what thats all. Some love the fun so they just spend mindlessly. Oghers cant find a reason to so its just another day to people that's all.

Mid-Autumn festival is a Vietnamese 🇻🇳 culture.
- China "borrowed" it and called it "Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival".
no, the history of the festival dates back over 3,000 years in Ancient China, nothing to do with Vietnam, even the country name "Vietnam" (越南) originated from Chinese.
Great, first Korean, now Vietnamese 😂
who the F is Vietnam?🤔
When the Mid-Autumn Festival was born, Vietnam did not exist as a country! And the country Vietnam was named after ancient China!
nah uh I don't see Vietnam existing millennia ago

it is important bc families gather together and celebrate it like Christmas. it's also a very beautiful holiday 😍😁😍
