On the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, the moon is round, and the Chinese people mark their Moon (or Mid-autumn) Festival.
The round shape in Chinese means family reunion.
Therefore the Moon Festival is a holiday for family members to get together wherever possible. On that day, sons and daughters will bring their family members back to their parent’s house for a reunion. Sometimes people who have settled overseas will come back to visit their parents on that day. As every Chinese holiday is accompanied by some exceptional food, on the Moon Festival, people eat moon cakes, a kind of cookie with fillings of sugar, fat, sesame, walnut, the yoke of preserved eggs, ham, or other material.
In Chinese fairy tales, there live on the moon the fairy Chang E, a wood cutter named Wu Gang, and a jade rabbit, Chang E’s pet. People paid respect to the fairy Chang E and her pet, the jade rabbit, in the old days.
So I hope the round moon will bring my best wishes and health to all of our clients.
