The moral of burning a tile lamp is that life is thriving and prosperous.
A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, young people in the village will roll up their sleeves and start putting up tile lanterns. At the bottom, the tower door and vent were built with red stones. At this time, a group of children also came to join in the fun, ran around in the wild looking for old tiles that were not used, and then built a pagoda shape one by one. People with good craftsmanship can build high and big, and the fire can burn brightly.
Only when the pagoda burns red can it be called a tile lamp, which means that life is booming and prosperous. Therefore, many young men will try their best to get a lot of firewood and kerosene, burn it thoroughly, and then happily go home to drink tea and enjoy the moon, as if the next small life would be as prosperous as a tile lamp.
Mid-Autumn Festival taboo
1. Don't peel off moon cakes in advance: During the Mid-Autumn Festival, moon cakes are one of the essential delicacies. However, according to the traditional custom, don't peel the moon cakes in advance on the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is because moon cakes symbolize reunion, and peeling them off in advance will destroy this symbolic meaning.
2. Don't cut moon cakes with scissors: During the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people will cut moon cakes with scissors, which is not respected. Traditionally, moon cakes should be broken by hand, which means reunion and harmony.
3. Don't leave the bowl empty for the night: Try not to leave the bowl empty for the night on the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is because an empty bowl is homophonic with "bowl" in Chinese, which is considered unlucky. Moreover, keeping leftovers in the bowl is also a kind of respect for saving food.
4. Don't cut your nails: During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's best to avoid cutting your nails. Because "cutting nails" is similar to "cutting (breaking) family ties" in Chinese, it is considered to destroy the meaning of family reunion.
