Mid Autumn Festival 2022

Google Dooles 09.09.2022 23:30  Date: September 10, 2022 Today’s Doodle celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival, or Tết Trung Thu in Vietnam, which recognizes the importance of the moon and the sun and honors the year’s successful harvest. The Mid-Autumn Festival is now celebrated in many Asian countries, but the Vietnamese version has its own unique traditions and legends. Traditionally, Mid-Autumn Festival was a celebration of the autumn harvest—a time for the Vietnamese to give thanks to the moon for the successful harvest season. However, the festival has transformed to focus on celebrating children. This special emphasis of children has links to the harvest. Many parents and family members involved in tending the fields are very busy right up till harvest, unable to spend as much time with their children. Thus, Mid-Autumn Festival is a time to shower attention on children after the hard work has been completed. Many towns turn off electricity so they can only see lanterns and moonlight. As the largest moon of the year rises, many lively crowds dance, sing and bask in the moon’s radiant glow. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
