RE: Happy 2025 Chinese Mid-Autumn festival , Oct 1st to Oct 8th

in #ladiesofhive19 days ago

(This 3,000 year old festival tradition has significantly changed)
( Now it celebrates the end of the Autumn harvest by the family reunions, courtships, fireworks, lantern lighting, moon admiration activities, and visiting friends.) A thousand-year-old celebration that is still valid today, I would say that it is an early Christmas celebration, sharing with the family, having moments with loved ones is the best way to invest our time, it is something that always remains in our minds, nothing is similar or important

Sort:  

And gifts are exchanged as well. 😉
That's the public secret.
As long as it is NOT called Christmas, the CCP will maintain a hands off policy and let their citizens enjoy the season. And Communists hate Christmas. Note that the CCP has linked Oct 1st as a part of the Golden Week holidays, National Day of the PROC with the flag raising, military parades, concerts, more fireworks, etc.
