ISLAMABAD: In a bid to foster cultural exchange and spread joy around the world, the China Cultural Center in Pakistan has launched an array of online activities under the banner of ‘A Moon Moment to Remember.’
This initiative is part of the center’s grand celebration of the 2023 Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, coincides with a full moon at its brightest. This year, the festivities commence on September 29 and continue until October, culminating with the Chinese National Day celebrations on October 1st.
At its heart, the Mid-Autumn Festival represents the cherished Chinese value of reunion. Traditionally, families gather around round tables to share bountiful feasts and gaze at the full moon. The circular shape symbolizes completeness and unity, reflecting the deep-seated cultural significance of the festival.
The China Cultural Center in Pakistan has prepared a diverse range of activities for this year’s celebration, including the “My Mid-Autumn Festival in China” video series and a host of vibrant events. These offerings aim to provide a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Chinese traditions associated with this festival.
Audiences from Pakistan and across the globe can partake in these festivities through various channels. Theme videos, captivating performances, and engaging content that capture the spirit of the Chinese Nation’s celebration will be shared on multiple platforms. You can find these updates on the Twitter account of Cultural Counsellor and Director of the China Cultural Centre in Pakistan, H.E. Zhang Heqing, as well as the Cultural Center’s Official WeChat Channel and Facebook Page.
As the world comes together to celebrate this special time of year, the China Cultural Center in Pakistan invites you to join in the festivities and experience the magic of the Mid-Autumn Festival, promoting unity and tradition on a global scale.
