Mid-Autumn Festival is a time when grandparents, parents show their affection to children. It is also a time for family gathering and union and the sharing of benevolence and charity for the whole society. On Mid-Autumn Festival, people recall stories about their origins and ancestry to pass down traditions to young generations.
