MOON FESTIVAL

Tet Trung Thu

September

Vietnam

The Moon Festival

In Vietnam, eating lots of sweets, making lanterns and dancing, are the ways to celebrate the Moon Festival, Tet Trung Thu. Children love to dance as the Dragon and Unicorn. The Moon Festival is a harvest celebration. It is one of the most widespread and popular Asian holidays.

The Moon Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Harvest Festival--these are different names for the same celebration in China, Korea, Vietnam, and other countries. Originally arising out of the rice-growing cycle, this autumn festival was once a day of thanksgiving for the rice harvest. Based on the lunar calendar, it takes place when the moon is at its fullest.

During Zhongqiu Jie, in China, people make or buy colorful paper lanterns in a variety of shapes including animals and flowers. When candles are placed inside the lanterns, they glow like small moons.

In Japan the Hounen-Odori is the Japanese Moon festival. Japanese families celebrate the festival by eating rice dumplings, called "tsukimi dango".

In Korea, Chu-sok, the Mid-Autumn festival, is celebrated with rice and bean paste cakes called "songpyon".

From Moon Festivals in Hong Kong to Wicca Ceremonies in San Francisco, this festival is truely a worldwide event.

Baking moon cakes or dancing at your favorite vampyre club are some popular ways to celebrate your moon festival.

Japan - Yosakoi Dance

Yosakoi is a style of dance that originated in the city of Kochi Japan in 1954. Yosakoi is a modern rendition of a traditional summer dance, Awa Odori.
Yosakoi-style dancing has spread throughout Japan. This style of dance is highly energetic, combining modern music with traditional Japanese dance movements.

The costumes used by yosakoi teams vary widely. Happi coats and yukata are the most predominant. Typically, all team members wear similar costumes and colors.

One defining aspects of yosakoi dance is the use of small wooden clappers called naruko. Naruko were originally used in Kochi to scare birds away from the rice fields. Modern yosakoi groups create their own naruko, choosing colors that match their costumes.
