"Zhong Qiu Jie", which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon - an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns.
Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month; it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.
In the following, Honpo will have a 3-day holiday to celebrate this festival, the holiday time from 10th Sep to 12th Sep. We will be back to work on 13th Sep. If you have any inquiry for our embroidery machines, welcome to contact us, we will be online all the time.
Honpo team members sincere wishes for a bright and happy Mid-autumn day!
