White Paper Lantern
The Mid-Autumn Competition, often known as the Moon Festival and the Chinese language Lantern Festival, is held on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. This usually happens round late September or early October when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the most important competition within the Chinese language calendar, other than the Chinese New Yr and Winter Solstice (also known as Dongzhi Pageant), and is a national holiday in some countries.
Traditionally, through the Mid-Autumn Competition, farmers have fun the end of the summer season harvesting season on this date. Chinese language relations and mates collect to admire the intense mid-autumn harvest moon, and enjoy moon muffins and pomelos together.
Overthrow of Mongolian rule
According to Chinese language folklore, the Moon Competition commemorates an uprising in China against the Mongolian rulers of the Yuan Dynasty (1280-1368) within the 14th century. Group gatherings have been forbidden by the Mongolian rulers and it was not possible to orchestrate a rebellion.
As the Mongolians did not partake in the consuming of moon muffins, the rebel leaders got here up with the concept of timing the riot to coincide with the Moon Festival. They distributed 1000′s of moon cakes to the Chinese residents within the city and cleverly inserted inside every moon cake a bit of paper with the message: “Kill the Mongolians on the 15th day of the eighth month.”
On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Competition, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the Mongolian government. Following the overthrow of the Mongolian authorities was the institution of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). On account of the successful insurrection, the Mid-Autumn Competition was celebrated with moon truffles on a national level.
Mid-Autumn Pageant in London
Gerrard Avenue was the primary focal point of the Moon Competition in London and Chinatown was lit up by thousands of orange paper lanterns to mark the occasion. Hundreds of local Chinese language and visitors from everywhere in the world had been there to participate within the anxiously awaited annual event. Many youngsters were wearing the traditional bright colored Chinese costumes and they look pretty in them.
This event was organised by the London Chinatown Chinese language Affiliation and was held on Sunday, 11th October, per week later than typical, to coincide with the London Restaurant Pageant (eighth – 13th October 2009).
An outdoor stage was setup on Macclesfield Road, going through Gerrard Street. The opening ceremony began at 1.00pm with the ever-in style lion dance. The afternoon’s performances were a combination of conventional and fashionable leisure including a lion dance, martial arts, Chinese language conventional music, hip-hop dance and Hong Kong Canto-Pop. Presents have been distributed to those that participated in quizzes or had been brave enough to go on stage to offer a performance. There have been additionally meals tasting, candy and noodle-making courses and even a Chopsticks Challenge.
28 Chinatown eating places participated within the London Restaurant Festival and offered mouth-watering particular menus of Oriental cuisines at special prices. Elsewhere Chinese neighborhood shops were set as much as promote Chinese products and people selling paper lanterns and fans appeared to have performed very properly on the day. And so did the lion who danced from one store to another offering good fortune to the Chinese business community.
The Mid-Autumn Pageant in London was clearly loved by everyone. There was a lot fun and laughter and even the drizzle near the end didn’t dampen the spirits of those that participated on this year’s event.
