    Presenters:Maggie 黃蔚兒、譚永暉

     

    Can be called the “Moon Festival”, “Mid-Autumn Festival” or “Mooncake Festival”

     

    Why do we celebrate the Moon Festival?

    ●       Ancient Chinese emperors worshiped the moon in autumn to thank it for the harvest 收穫;收成 . Ordinary people 普通人 took the Mid-Autumn Festival to be a celebration of their hard work and harvests. Nowadays, people mainly celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival as a time for family reunions 團聚.

     

    Prepositions

    ●       At Mid-Autumn Festival OR On Mid-Autumn Festival

    ●       This is very debatable ​​有爭議的

    ●       At Christmas / On Christmas Day

     

    What are moon cakes made of?

    ●       Traditional mooncakes feature base fillings of red lotus paste 蓮蓉, white lotus paste 白蓮蓉 or red bean paste紅豆蓉, with 0-4 salted duck egg yolks 咸蛋黄 embedded within.

    Mooncakes are mainly round to represent the full moon. In Chinese culture, roundness symbolizes 象徵 completeness and togetherness.

    ●       Chinese sayings:

    Speaking of roundness, I’ve noticed that it is quite hard to buy big, round dining tables in the U.S. But it is easy to buy them in Hong Kong.

     

    ●       In the U.S., families always have long tables. The head of the family takes the head seat. You pass the food around and scoop 舀 the food onto your own plate.

     

    ●       When I went to restaurants in the U.S., it felt a little odd 奇怪 when I told the server that I was going to share the food with whoever I was dining with.

    ●       Because of the pandemic, we are now used to using 公筷. How would you say them in English? Public chopsticks? Serving spoon/ chopsticks.
