Last Friday, September 29, China Studies at Aarhus University brightened the evening with a celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival. This cherished Chinese festival, known also as the Moon Festival, symbolizes unity and togetherness under the full moon.

Originating over 3,000 years ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival has deep cultural roots. It honors the moon goddess and signifies a bountiful harvest. At our event, we explored the festival’s history and enjoyed homemade mooncakes, which represent completeness like the full moon itself. We also savored traditional Chinese teas.
