【Age Changes】

What does ‘age changes’ mean? The memories through the ages of Mid-Autumn Festival might be vary. In accordance with traditional customs, family members will be together and eat mooncake at night with the full moon in the sky. In recent years, with the era of commercialization has been growing rapidly, some of the Mid-Autumn Festival tradition customs have gradually changed and they have been transformed due to the social progress and development of times. With the change of age, celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival is becoming too commercialised instead of filling with the festive ambience.

【Back To The Original Intention of The Celebration】

Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the four traditional Chinese festivals. In olden days, the way people celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival was simple and there was no special grand celebration. But with the progress and change of the times, the ways of expressing the blessing are diversifying while the original intention of ‘reunion’ should remain unchanged. Most importantly, reunion of family is the fundamental intention of the celebration. As this year with the theme of ‘A Glimpse In Time’, means that no matter how the age changes and the world innovates, the intention of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival should be restored and conserved. A long history of Chinese culture should not be forgotten, we should guard, keep and pass it to the next generation instead.
