In most areas, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, and in some places it falls on the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

In Buddhism, July is also called Happy Month, Buddha Happy Day, Lucky Month and Gratitude Month. Buddhism and Taoism have different interpretations of the significance of this festival. Taoism emphasizes filial piety; Buddhism, on the other hand, focuses on making a universal journey for those orphaned souls released from the underworld. The late July and a half custom can be said to be the fusion of secularism, Taoism and Buddhism. What time can't you go out?
