Happy Mid-Autumn festival guys! Have you ate your moon cakes already? Are you playing with the colourful lanterns now? Or just enjoying the full moon? Unfortunately, I don't seem to catch a sight of the moon where I am, no luck for me on this year's Mid-Autumn festival. =[ If you are enjoying the full moon now, do treasure it!
It is the 15th day of the 8th Lunar calendar month today and it is said the moon is especially bright and always full on this special occasion. In China and Hong Kong, these are the list of things of how the people there might celebrate Mid-Autumn festival:
. Eating moon cakes outside, under the moon
. Carrying brightly lit lanterns, lighting lanterns on towers, floating sky lanterns
. Burning incense in reverence to deities including Chang'e
. Planting Mid-Autumn trees
. Collecting dandelion leaves and distributing them evenly among family members
. Fire dragon dances
If you have been paying close attention in 'Moonlight Resonance', you may probably know some of them already! How I wished I was in Hong Kong right now, it's way more festive over there with the colourful, brightly lit lanterns in all different shapes and sizes. To make this post TVB related, scroll down... I included 'Moonlight Resonance' pictures of the casts that are related to Mid-Autumn festival.
this picture shows Fala doing her sign language from 'Moonlight Resonance', I read from a magazine scan online that she meant "moon" in the picture.And here is the gigantic moon cake from 'Moonlight Resonance'! It appeared around half way through the drama if I could remember. Haha... I am sure it is made out of plastic though! The pictures are taken from
Vincent Wan's personal blog, yes! it really is him! I didn't know he had a Blogger account, LOL...
Yi looks so pretty and I know I cannot resist to say this, look at
Fung's expressions, so cute! I love the whole "moonlight" cast, they all look so friendly.
Speaking of the moon, a quote from a Japanese drama released 2 years ago called 'A Song To The Sun' just jumped into my mind. Here it is:
"The moon you gaze at with someone you love is the most beautiful."
Aww... isn't it sweet?
