When you work in a corporate setting, you may find yourself sending gifts to co-workers and other employees in your industry. Trying to find that perfect present for colleagues can be difficult, but understanding the traditions and gift giving norms of the festival will help you select the right corporate gift.

What is the Mid-Autumn Festival?

The Mid-Autumn Festival incorporates three essential elements: gathering, giving thanks, and asking for a positive future. While many features of the Mid-Autumn Festival have changed over time, much of the current festivities are at least geared toward these traditions.
 

Much of the Mid-Autumn Festival is related to ceremonies related to the moon. The ancient Chinese would observe the moon and build a relationship with it as it changed over the seasons. The moon became close in association with the agricultural industry, leading to the Mid-Autumn Festival as a time to honor the beautiful orb in the sky.

Many of the symbols associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival are round, which is a shape that represents the bringing together of family. It symbolizes reunion. This will be a common theme found in gifts and traditions associated with the festival.

Ultimately, Mid-Autumn is all about giving thanks for all the good fortune of the previous year and then wishing and praying for more good fortune in the year to come. It is about reuniting with loved ones and coming together to celebrate good fortune.
