Nanjing's sweet-scented osmanthus duck, salted water duck and camphor tea duck are also often popular at this time. Duck tastes very greasy, you can drink Wanglaoji herbal tea to relieve the greasiness and prevent getting a sore throat. Pray - On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon comes out, we will put a large table full of delicious food and pray to the moon, praying that the whole family will be safe and healthy throughout the year. Then the whole family gathered around the table to eat, the adults chatted, and the children played to their heart's content. The Mid-Autumn Festival also provides a time for families to reunite and enhance the affection between family members. Enjoying osmanthus flowers and drinking osmanthus wine: People often eat moon cakes and enjoy osmanthus flowers during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and eat various foods made with osmanthus, with pastries and candies being the most common. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, gazing up at the red osmanthus in the moon, smelling the osmanthus fragrance, drinking a cup of osmanthus honey wine, and celebrating the sweetness of the family have become a beautiful enjoyment of the festival. In modern times, people mostly use red wine instead. Do we fly Kongming lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival?——Kongming lantern is also called sky lantern, commonly known as wishing lantern, also known as prayer lantern. It is an ancient Chinese handicraft, which was mostly used for military purposes in ancient times. Modern people release Kongming lanterns mostly for the purpose of praying for blessings. Men, women, young and old write down their blessings by hand, symbolizing a successful harvest and happiness every year. It is usually set off during major festivals such as the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.——Release of Kongming lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival is mostly used for praying for blessings. During this Mid-Autumn Festival, every household will release a Kongming lantern. Friends will write their blessings on the lanterns by hand, symbolizing a successful harvest in the coming year and happiness every year. Notes on flying Kongming lanterns: Kongming lanterns must be released in windless weather and in an open area, otherwise they will not only fail to fly into the sky but may also cause a fire. When releasing the drone, the cooperation of 2-3 people is required, and it is strongly recommended that an adult accompany the drone. In addition, you can tie a string at the bottom of the Kongming lantern so that it can be released repeatedly while controlling the take-off height and range to avoid causing a fire. Mid-Autumn Festival proverb: Picking grapefruits or melons in August is not considered stealing. (Touching the autumn: custom, stealing fruits from other people's fields on a moonlit night is not considered stealing. It is believed that the Goddess of Childbirth will descend to the earth on this day, so if a married woman who has not given birth touches the autumn without being discovered, she can have a child early.) |
