1. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, admiring the moon and eating mooncakes are essential customs for the Mid-Autumn Festival in various parts of China. As the saying goes: "August and fifteenth are full, and Mid-Autumn mooncakes are fragrant and sweet."

The term mooncake originated from "Meng Liang Lu" written by Wu Zimu in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, it was just a snack food.

2. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, looking up at the osmanthus in the middle of the moon, smelling the fragrance of cinnamon, drinking a glass of osmanthus honey wine, and celebrating the sweetness of the family has become a beautiful enjoyment of the festival.

In modern times, people mostly use red wine instead.

3. There is no large-scale lantern festival like the Lantern Festival during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Playing with lanterns is mainly done among families and children.

As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, "Old Martial Arts" recorded the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival, including the activity of "putting a "little red" lantern into the river to float and play."

4. In Chaoshan, Guangdong, there is a custom of worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, mainly for women and children. There is a common saying that "men do not worship the full moon, women do not worship the stove".

There is also a local custom of eating taro during the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a proverb in Chaoshan: "When the river and stream meet the mouth, the taro will be eaten."
