Children make moon cakes to celebrate the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival in China
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar month. It is a time for family members to congregate and enjoy the full moon, which is a symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. Adults usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of various kinds with a good cup of hot Chinese tea, while the children run around with their brightly-lit rabbit lanterns. The festival was endowed a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon. According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it. Hou Yi, shot down 9 of the suns to save all the lives on carth. He stole the elixir of life, which can make people immortal. However, his wife, Chang-E drank it. Thus the legend of Chang-E flying into the moon came into being.
This year’s Lunar Mid-Autumn Festival is exactly the same day as China’s national day. October 1. This is a very coincidence and a rare good time. In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are three days off for this festival in China every year. She is the most suitable day for friends and family reunion. This year, our factory specially invited a baker to make special moon cakes. Moon cakes baked in our high-quality rotary oven, deck oven and Convection Oven are more delicious.
