What They Do
Written by Jennifer
Girls symbolize the moon for its elegance, and guys symbolize the sun
for power. They say the moon is the brightest on this day. On this day
they give thanks. Friendships are renewed. It is a romantic holiday
they write poems to their lost lovers. They give offerings, and
fluttering lanterns hang while they eat. They have a big feast. They
admire the moon and their dreams come true. Fruits and sweet meats are
eaten at the dinner. After dinner, they eat moon cakes. They give out
moon cakes to represent giving thanks.
