Lisound will be spending a three-day holiday during Sep. 19th – 21st, 2013, celebrating the Chinese traditional festival of ‘Mid-Autumn Festival’. We will be back to work on Sep. 22nd. 

Mid-Autumn Festival (also known as the Moon Festival), the third major festival of the Chinese calendar, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar, as the moon is supposed to be at its maximum brightness for the entire year. 

Because the full moon is round and symbolizes reunion, the festival is also known as the festival of reunion. All family members try to get together on this special day. It is a happy occasion where people feast on scrumptious mooncakes. Some Chinese families today still stay up late to observe the occasion eating mooncakes, sipping tea and gazing at the beautiful moon. It is regarded the perfect moment if someone catches the moon's reflection in the center of his or her teacup. Those who can not return home watch the bright moonlight and feel deep longing for their loved ones.
