【Culture】The Moon Festival Wendy is our host today who will tell you all about the Mid-Autumn Festival (Zhōngqiūjié/中秋節), one of the most important holidays for family get-togethers in Taiwan. On this day,… 更多 people have moon cakes (yuèbǐng/月餅) and pomelo fruit (yòuzi/柚子) as well as look up to the silver full moon (shǎng yuè /賞月) in celebration of the festival. As the saying goes, "Family and friends gather for the full moon.” (Yuè yuán rén tuányuán./月圓人團圓。), and moon cakes are the symbol of unity (tuányuán/團圓). It has also become increasingly popular for the family and friends to gather for barbecues (kǎoròu/烤肉) on this day, therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as "reunion day" (tuányuánjié/團圓節) or the Moon Festival.
