Cultural Vibrations
The Mid-Autumn Festival nowadays is
known as the Mooncake or Lantern Festival The mooncakes are shaped
like a drum and the size of a small saucer, filled with lotus seeds or red
bean paste and melon seeds. A salted duck's egg yolk, symbolizing the
moon, forms its core. When the cake is sliced in the middle, the golden
yoke resembles the full moon. Some families bake one large cake and
each member eats a piece as a symbol of their unity. Children display
paper lanterns in the shape of rabbits, fish, birds and butterflies.
Victoria Park in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay area, becomes a huge display of
lanterns and thousands of people lighting candles in the park.
