Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival

On September 30, over 30 students from the Chinese language short courses came together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival under the theme “Reunion under the Full Moon.”

The program opened with an introduction to the festival’s rich history and customs, followed by a lively cross-cultural discussion where students shared the symbolic meaning of the moon in their own cultures. Interactive activities such as solving lantern riddles and creating lacquer fans added joy and creativity, offering participants a hands-on experience of Chinese characters, traditional crafts, and the festive spirit of one of China’s most cherished holidays.

The celebration concluded with the sharing of mooncakes, as teachers and students gathered in a warm and festive atmosphere. Together, they not only enjoyed the traditions of the Mid-Autumn Festival but also deepened their appreciation of Chinese culture and strengthened bonds of cultural exchange.
