Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festivals
The way people celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival differs from generation to generation as society keeps moving forward Although traditional Mid-Autumn celebration activities for children and families are not so popular nowadays as they used to be decades ago, the timeless cultural value of truth, goodness, and beauty are always honoured, and practiced in a variety of ways
There is something new about today’s Mid-Autumn Festival It’s the presence of colourful electronic lanterns that play music, aside from the traditional star-shaped paper-and-bamboo lanterns, and a lot of baked and white mooncakes with flavours that better meet consumers’ changing tastes Just like many other traditions, Mid-Autumn Festival has changed to catch up with the modern life
