Whenever the moon rises in the Mid-Autumn Festival, people will put moon cakes and melons on the console table. However, in the end, enjoying the moon is more important than offering sacrifices to the moon, and serious sacrifices have become relaxed entertainment. After Yue Bai, the whole family sat around the dining table, chatting while eating, watching the bright moon and celebrating the festival. Mid-Autumn Festival is the time when pomegranate ripens. Red as agate, white as crystal, and the entrance is like crystal grain jade paste. Pomegranate has become one of the offerings on the table, symbolizing longevity, reunion and auspiciousness.
