The festival has been the second most celebrated event next to Chinese New Year. It is when the moon is in its fullest state, symbolizing harmony and prosperity. It is believed that the behaviour of the moon affects the production of local goods, thus during this day, gratitude is expressed and sacrifices were offered through a special delicacy, mooncakes.
