3. Traditional Meaning of the Mid-Autumn Feast
Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the 8th lunar month festival, is an occasion for family members to gather, make a beautiful Mid-Autumn Feast, offer incense, and share stories. Children get to buy new toys. The Mid-Autumn Feast is indispensable on this festival day, first to pay respects to ancestors and deities, and later for everyone to enjoy while Sister Hang looks her best on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Origin and Significance of the Traditional Mid-Autumn Feast
According to the legend, in the past, the sun shone all day and night, causing plants and everything to burn. A poor mother begged the heavens to sleep at night, but due to many people and animals needing light to find food at night, the heavens shook their heads in refusal. Therefore, for the sake of her child, the mother sacrificed herself, transforming into the moon to provide gentle light at night instead of the sun. Thus, on the full moon of the eighth lunar month, the brightest white light appears, and people prepare a feast to offer to the mother, expressing gratitude.
* What's in a Mid-Autumn Feast?
In addition, the Mid-Autumn Feast, according to the belief of many, is also a means to pray for favorable weather and prosperity for everyone throughout the year. Traditional Mid-Autumn feasts are beautifully arranged, balancing the yin and yang, and featuring a variety of fruits in different states of ripeness, from green to fully mature. Each type of fruit carries its own meaning and symbolizes positive things that will come to every family member.
- Mooncakes: Mooncakes are symbolic treats for the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are two main types: sticky rice cakes and baked cakes, usually round or square in shape, offered to express gratitude to nature and the heavens.
- Pomelo: Pomelo, with its round shape, symbolizes completeness and integrity. The green color of the pomelo's peel represents freshness, while its fragrant scent signifies purity. Therefore, pomelo is always present in the Mid-Autumn Festival feast.
- Crunchy Persimmons: Crunchy persimmons are another common fruit in the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, symbolizing vitality and human faith. With its vibrant orange-red color and succulent ripeness, crunchy persimmons enhance the visual appeal of the feast.
- Bananas: Most feasts for ancestral worship include bananas. The banana bunch acts like an extended hand, gathering the essences from both earth and sky to offer to the divine, expressing gratitude and reverence.
Besides these, custard apples, sweets, watermelons, and dragon fruits are also typical offerings on the Mid-Autumn Festival table. In addition to the feast, traditional toys from the 70s and 80s, along with modern Moon Festival toys, are cherished gifts that adults often buy for children.
* Best Way to Arrange a Beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival Feast
Furthermore, Mid-Autumn Festival feasts vary across regions. In the Northern region, the feasts are intricate, featuring meticulously carved fruits such as pomelos, dragon fruits, oranges, lychees, mangoes, pineapples, pomegranates, and red apples. On the other hand, feasts in the Southern and Central regions are simpler, often adorned with common fruits like mangosteens, papayas, mangoes, coconuts, and custard apples. Despite the differences, the arrangement of Mid-Autumn Festival feasts shares common principles:
- Larger and heavier fruits are placed at the bottom, while smaller and lighter ones are arranged on top for stability and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, decorative items like Mid-Autumn lanterns, flowers, and various ornaments can be added to the fruit platter to bring harmony in colors, making the feast more vibrant and attractive. It's advisable to harmoniously blend warm and cool color tones and create diverse shapes.
- Some types of Mid-Autumn Festival cakes, such as baked cakes and sticky rice cakes, paired with tea or beverages, are also prepared on separate plates.
