The Mid-autumn Festival is one of the most important Chinese celebrations in many parts of East Asia, including Singapore. It is a date which parallels the autumnal equinox of the solar calendar, when the moon is at its fullest and roundest. We can trace the roots of the Mid-autumn Festival back to ancient Chinese farmers who celebrated the end of the fall harvesting season.
The Humanist Society is taking this opportunity to come together and discuss about life under the gaze of the fulsome moon. We also celebrate mankind’s ability to study the skies and predict the courses of nature; transitioning from native hunter-gatherers to plebeian villagers, and finally, metropolitan urbanites.
