Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the ancient traditional festivals in China, and there are various traditional customs to welcome this festival. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the best time to eat snails. Eating snails in the Mid-Autumn Festival is recorded in the "Shunde County Records" (Author: Anonymous) during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty: "Looking at the sun in August, eating snails is still fragrant." What's more, children who eat snails in the Mid-Autumn Festival will improve their eyesight. Before frying snails, the bottom of the snails will be removed. When eating, take off the snail cover first and eat snail meat.

Then, if you eat snails in the moonlight, their shells will be open from beginning to end. Moreover, the screw cover is similar to the eyes, so eating snails means "improving eyesight". In addition, there is a folk saying that "snail" is homophonic with "take" in Cantonese. In the farming era, everyone made a living by farming, and snail means "eat from the fields". As the saying goes, "If you have to eat, ask the snail."
