1. The main implication of eating taro during the Mid-Autumn Festival is that it can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and it also means not believing in evil spirits. In the late Qing Emperor Qianlong Gui's reign of the Qing Dynasty, "Chaozhou Prefecture Chronicles" said: "Watching the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, peeling taro and eating it is called peeling ghost skin." This kind of peeling off ghosts and eating them is very similar to Zhong Kui's spirit of exorcising ghosts. It is really respectable.

2. August 15th is also called People’s Day among the people. People in Laiyang usually eat taro in the morning. This is called early adopters. However, taro during this period is not the best harvest time. But because taro has the same pronunciation as "surplus head", people just dig up some taro to try it during the Mid-Autumn Festival in order to get a lucky break and hope to have plenty in good times.

3. There is also a proverb in Chaoshan: "When the rivers and streams meet each other, the taro seeds will be eaten." August is also the harvest season for taro, and farmers habitually use taro to worship their ancestors.
