As a traditional festival in China, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had the beauty of family reunion since ancient times.
In order to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, different regions also welcome the festival in their own unique ways, and my hometown is no exception. Let me share the way to celebrate in my hometown.

My hometown is located in Xi, Shaanxi, and it is a typical northern city. As a northern city, pasta is inevitable. Therefore, even in the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will make a special pasta for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival, every local household will make steamed buns, and the whole family will eat a steamed bun called "Reunion Steamed Bun" to show the meaning of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.
"Reunion Steamed Bread" has two layers, with sesame seeds in the middle. At the top of the bun, a circle is extended from a big bowl, symbolizing the Mid-Autumn Festival night. There is a "stone" carved in the circle, on which stands a "little monkey" eating flat peaches.

After the steamed bread is cooked in the pot, it is cut into fangs, one for each family, and one for each family when going out for a short time.
For the married girl, the family sends steamed buns to the door, indicating that the whole family will not forget the reunion.
Eat moon cakes
When it comes to Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the moon cakes that cannot escape. Mooncakes of all flavors are as sweet as a round moon.
The traditional Wuren moon cakes contain the wisdom of our ancestors, but today's new moon cakes have gained different vitality under the skillful hands of people today.
On the night of the full moon, the old people will move a stool and sit at the door, with fans in their hands, chatting at home and eating sweet and crisp moon cakes in the bright moonlight, feeling the beauty of today's life.
reunion dinner
The full moon in Mid-Autumn Festival also symbolizes family reunion. The existence of Mid-Autumn Festival also provides an opportunity for family reunion, reminding children who are away from home to visit frequently.
On August 15, all the family members will go all the way home just to have a reunion dinner. It's not that the reunion dinner is delicious, but that it's not easy for families to get together often.
What a wonderful thing it is for a family to sit together, talk confidentially, talk about interesting things in their lives, have a family reunion dinner and enjoy the moon!
Conclusion:
Actually, it doesn't matter how the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated. What is important is that the family can think and do wholeheartedly, so that no matter where the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated, it is sweet and beautiful.
