To memorize the beautiful fairy Chang E who in order to protect her beloved husband’s elixir, ate it herself and flew to the moon and to celebrate the reunion of the whole family which is a tradition for this festival, the moon cakes are usually eaten.

Moon cakes are round, symbolizing family reunion. Underneath the full moon it is thought to increase longing for relatives of your family.
