Since 2008 in mainland China, the Mid-Autumn festival has been a major public holiday where people also watch the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala on television. In addition to celebrating the end of the autumn harvest, this holiday promotes gathering of friends and family, thanksgiving, and prayers for prosperous futures. The Yuan Dynasty introduced the tradition of eating mooncakes during the festival. In the later years of the Tang dynasty, everyone celebrated by enjoying music and dance while appreciating the bright moon. The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations can be traced to Western Zhou dynasty kings, who reigned from 1045 to 770 BCE, offering sacrifices to the moon in the fall to request a plentiful harvest for the coming year. Like many other harvest festivals around the world, the Mid-Autumn Festival is close to the autumn equinox. The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節 Zhong Qiu Jie), or Moon Festival, which falls on September 10, 2022, is a harvest festival celebrated in China, like Chuseok in Korea and Tsukimi in Japan. Join the Norton in celebrating this festival the night before with art activities, Chinese music, tours on works in the Chinese collection, and more.
