The Mid-autumn Festival (or Zhong Qiu Jie in Mandarin), also known as the Mooncake Festival, falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. It is called the Mid-autumn Festival because the 15th day is
the middle of a month, and the eighth lunar month is in the middle of autumn.
In Singapore, mooncakes and lanterns are oered for sale as early as a month before the festival. These days, however, it has become more
common to give mooncakes as gifts than to eat them during the festival. The custom of oering sacrices to the moon has been replaced by celebrating the festival with family and friends. Moon-viewing parties
is one way to enjoy the occasion, with family and friends sitting in gardens lit by paper lanterns, sipping tea, nibbling on mooncakes, and if so inspired, composing poetry in venerable Tang Dynasty fashion.
