In Chinese culture, roundness symbolizes completeness and togetherness. A full moon symbolizes prosperity and reunion for the whole family. Round mooncakes complement the harvest moon in the night sky at the Mid-Autumn Festival..

It is said that if you look up at the moon, you can see an outline of the Jade Rabbit pounding with a pestle. More than just cute, fluffy, and white, the Jade Rabbit is a sign of selflessness, piety, and sacrifice..

中秋節The Mid-Autumn Festival is the festival of Mid-Autumn. It falls in the second month of autumn and is marked by the fifteenth full moon. This day is in the midst of the three autumns, so it is called the “Mid-Autumn Festival”. The moonlight is brighter than usual this night, which is also called “moon eve”. Because the Mid-Autumn Festival falls in autumn and August, it is also known as the “Autumn Festival” and “August Festival”; because of worshiping and worshiping the moon, it is also called the “Moon Festival” and “Moon Festival”; during the Mid-Autumn Festival, families reunite and married daughters go home. Reunion, so it is also called “Reunion Festival” and “Girls’ Day”; in mid-autumn, various fruits are ripe and on the market, so it is called “Fruit Festival”. The Dong people call it “Pumpkin Festival”, and the Mulao people call it “Housheng Festival”. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people gather to admire the moon, offer sacrifices, and celebrate the harvest. 

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the “Correct Month”. Records about the “Reunion Festival” were first seen in literary works of the Ming Dynasty. “West Lake Tour Zhiyu” says: “August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people send moon cakes to each other to symbolize reunion.” “A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital” also says: “When worshiping the moon on August 15th, the cakes must be round , the teeth will be wrong when dividing melons, and the petals will be carved like lotus flowers. … If a woman returns to peace, she will return to her husband’s house on this day, which is called the Reunion Festival.”

Initially, the “Moon Festival” was held on the “autumn equinox” day of the 24th solar term in the Ganzhi calendar, but later it was moved to the 15th day of the eighth month of the Xia calendar (lunar calendar). According to the Chinese calendar, the eighth month of the lunar calendar is in the middle of autumn and is the second month of autumn, so it is called “Zhongqiu”. The fifteenth day of August is in the middle of “Zhongqiu”, so it is called “Mid-Autumn Festival

Chasing the moon

The so-called “chasing the moon” means that after the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the excitement is still not over, so on the next night, many people invite relatives and friends to continue admiring the moon, which is called “chasing the moon.” According to the preface to “Lingnan Miscellaneous Notes” by Chen Zihou of the Qing Dynasty: “On the 16th night of August, good people in Guangdong gather relatives and friends to feast and enjoy the moon. This is called chasing the moon.”

Guessing riddles

On the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, many lanterns are hung in public places. People gather together to guess the riddles written on the lanterns. Because it is a favorite activity of most young men and women, and love stories are also spread in these activities, so guessing lantern riddles during the Mid-Autumn Festival A form of love between men and women has also been derived.

Eat mooncakes

Moon cakes, also called moon cakes, harvest cakes, palace cakes, reunion cakes, etc., were tributes to the moon god during the Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times. Mooncakes were originally used as offerings to worship the moon god. Later, people gradually regarded admiring the moon and tasting mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival as a symbol of family reunion. Moon cakes symbolize reunion, and people regard them as festive food, using them to worship the moon and give them to relatives and friends. Today, eating moon cakes has become a must-have custom for the Mid-Autumn Festival in all parts of northern and southern China. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, people eat moon cakes to show “reunion.”

#iPhonePhotography | 冬月 #winters #Moon Luna – The Waning Gibbous crescent- Closer in becoming…

As currently today, as I’m keyboarding writing up also uploading ..  it’s been mostly rainy today in Auckland with polar winds with freezing wintery polar conditions for the week in which South Island of New Zealand currently with massive snow coverage, in which is today it’s been mostly cloudy raining today…. Orthough the wintery nights makes looking also photography the night sky makes the images silky sharp…

Last night in which was later in the in the night there was modest small opening in between the raining polar blasting clouds that’s yet to come…. As the polar weather was onset to come it also it’s the process of the phases of the moon as it now tending towards the new moon in which the Moon started to terminator veiling with the earth shadow on the other side of the Moon… as the moon tends towards the new moon the moon raises later….   As you look closer at the moon Luna silky satin cratered lacy wedding dress in a waning gibbous you can see the moon in a different perspective than the waxing Gibbous the story is different as it already told you about the Jade Rabbit- sea of Tranquility also Serenity but it’s telling her story the Jade Maiden’s story where most of the larger Mare’s or seas are..

In view of last night it was modestly great, the crowds get to view the two gaseous planets one summery autumn the planet Jupiter in the bodice of the constellation Virgo the virgin , also the wintery planet Saturn in the constellation in-between  Scorpio  and  Sagittarius that once was in previous weeks in the constellation Libra..

#iPhonePhotography | 冬月 #winters #Moon Luna- on a misty July winter’s rainy night before the full moon…

A few nights ago on 9th July 201 it was ninety nine percent waxing gibbous it was bound to rain that night with incoming traditional New Zealand winter … just before the week’s oncoming of another round of polar blast that’s hitting New Zealand soon in the upcoming week…..in view of that is the moon going towards the full moon in which details of the moon Luna get wash out by the intensity of the light as the Earth Shadow  that causes her unveil terminator herself in showing her silk satin cratered lacy wedding dress in showing the deeps of that Luna surface craters embroidery work that showing in through the clouds in which sometimes looking at the full moon or becoming through a thin layering does lower the light intensity of viewing in which some can view when it bright and full, some can’t in which thin layers of clouds helps to reduce the seen light in viewing the full moon even without any moon filters or with a smaller aperture cap on the telescope..
