Mid‑Autumn Festival celebrated with mooncakes and lanterns

cultureSep 25, 20262094,645

The Mid-Autumn Festival, marked by mooncakes and family gatherings, is being observed across East Asia and in diaspora communities. In San José, Dzui’s Vietnamese dessert shop is selling bánh pía, a flaky, mooncake-like pastry filled with mung beans, salted egg yolk, candied winter melon and durian, that its owner Dzui Thai traces to his Teochew family’s four-decade recipe. Thai says in his hometown of Sóc Trăng people were more likely to eat bánh pía for the Moon Festival than traditional mooncakes, and his auntie’s factory would work almost nonstop each fall making thousands of the pastries. Dzui’s stamps its bánh pía with the Tân Hưng brand name with his family’s blessing, and Thai follows the same laborious seven-step process his relatives use. Online greetings and posts accompanying the holiday feature mooncakes, family moments, and harvest-moon imagery shared by people celebrating the festival.

Many figures are enjoying a Mid-Autumn Festival by having mooncakes and observing the full moon. Yellow text overlaid in the sky reads in Chinese: 中秋節快樂 or Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Today's art from the GBF illustration team celebrates the harvest moon! Jherion, Miamint, and Maminas of the Stroud Family are celebrating the festival in their yukata, while Maminas appears to have beaten some mochi into submission for the occasion.

I bought a mooncake press. 🤔 This might be a good time to take it for a test run.

happy mid autumn festival! have a short qijiuyuan comic ^^ #svsss #qijiuyuan

A digital four panel comic about Shen Yuan, Yue Qi and Shen Jiu. All three of them are kids in this first page.

First panel: Shen Yuan is holding three red papers in his arms while running. He says, "Jiu-di! Qi-di! I found some papers to make into lanterns!"

Second panel: A young Yue Qi and Shen Jiu are staring at Shen Yuan.

Third panel: The three of them are sitting together in a half circle. Shen Yuan is scratching the back of his head happily while saying, "I wanted to steal some mooncakes too, but I almost got caught. Bastard almost cut off my arm."

Yue Qi is looking at him with a concerned expression as he says, "Were you hurt, Yuan-ge?"

Shen Jiu is glaring at Shen Yuan as he says, "Are you stupid!?!"

Fourth panel: A close up head shot of Shen Yuan. He replies, "I'm alright! One day I'll buy them for you guys to try."
