Delving into History
We travel back in time to understand the Mid-Autumn Festival culture. This festival has been celebrated for a long time in Japan, China and Vietnam. It was a time when legends came alive, like the 8th century story about emperor Duong Minh Hoang. Swept to the moon, he is fascinated by the dance performed by the fairies on the moon. This ethereal dance, combined with local traditions, gave rise to the moon-watching, singing and dancing customs that are now synonymous with the festival.
