Taboos for Mid-Autumn Festival include: don't peel moon cakes in advance, don't cut moon cakes with scissors, don't leave a bowl empty for the night, don't cut your nails, and don't eat rabbit meat.

1, don't peel 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 moon cakes in advance during 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 disrespectful. Traditionally, moon cakes should be broken by hand, which means reunion and harmony.

3. Don't spend the night with an empty bowl:

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, try not to leave the bowl empty for the night. This is because in Chinese, empty bowl is homophonic with "bowl", which is considered unlucky. Moreover, leaving leftovers in the bowl is also a respect for saving food.

4. Don't cut your nails:

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is best to avoid cutting your nails. Because "cutting nails" is similar to "cutting off (breaking) family relations" in Chinese, it is considered to destroy the meaning of family reunion.

5. Don't eat rabbit meat:

Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival to celebrate reunion, so eating rabbit meat is considered unlucky. Because "rabbit" is close to "escape" in Chinese, it is considered as a symbol that brings dispersion.
