Half Moon Studs

STORY

The Moon Festival (also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival) is one of the most important holidays in the East. It falls on the day when the moon is the brightest and roundest of the year (the 15th day of the eighth lunar month). In Chinese culture, a full moon symbolizes reunion. So this festival is a day when family and friends come together. The holiday is also celebrated by couples as a romantic occasion.
