The full moon symbolizes unity, completeness, and reunion, which is why it became associated with family gatherings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Harvest Festival<\/strong>: It coincides with the autumn harvest, when families celebrate the abundance of the season. People give thanks to the moon for the harvest and pray for blessings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chang\u2019e and Houyi Legend<\/strong>: A well-known legend associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival is the story of the moon goddess Chang&#8217;e, who drank an elixir of immortality and ascended to the moon, leaving her lover, the hero Houyi, behind.
