If everyone in Xiamen is acting differently on this day because of the full moon, do not become alarmed. This major festival annually celebrates the full moon on the 15th of the 8th lunar month, giving license for everyone to act jovial and downright loopy. According to Chinese legend, the moon symbolizes reunion, prompting families to gather and chomp on moon cakes (stuffed with sugar and red bean paste) together. The day, like every Chinese celebration, culminates with fireworks.
