These customs have been passed down to this day and have lasted for a long time. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with the roundness of the moon symbolizing family reunion, is a way to express longing for hometown and loved ones, and to pray for a good harvest and happiness. It has become a rich and precious cultural heritage. The Mid-Autumn Festival is known as one of China's four major traditional festivals, along with the Dragon Boat Festival, the Spring Festival and the Tomb-Sweeping Day.
