Moon cake Festival celebration is around the
corner and here are the premium gift set of moon cake from my business partner
to commemorate with the 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival. The gift is really elegant,
where the moon cake is encased in an exquisite and distinctive box.
The actual date for the
celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival by the Chinese tradition is fall on the 15th
of August of the lunar calendar every year. For country like China, it is often
a grand festival celebration, where people in mainland of China usually enjoy
one day off from their work for the celebration with family and friends.
Ancient Chinese culture believes that eating moon cakes could express their
love for their family and their hope for a happy life. The roundness of the
moon on the day symbolizes family unity and harmony.
Most of the traditional moon
cakes are usually embossed with Chinese for “togetherness” or “harmony”, on top
of the surface of the moon cakes. There are various types of fillings in the
moon cakes, but the traditional moon cakes usually consists of salted egg yolks
at the centre, which symbolize the full moon.
Mid-Autumn Festival is also
better known as Moon Festival because as at that day of the year, the moon is
at its roundest and brightest. Besides, it is known as moon cake festival, as
every family will gather on that day itself to have a family reunion dinner
celebration and at the same time enjoy eating the moon cakes. The cake is as
round as the moon. Hence, it is called moon cake.
Have you started placing your
order for moon cakes? There are so many moon cakes being paraded out there in
the market.
I was puzzling around until
I saw from an advertisement and just got to know that actually this year
Mid-Autumn Festival falls on 19th of September 2013, which is on
Thursday!
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
