Mid-Autumn and Moon Viewing · World Questions
Around the same full moon, four different observances: Taiwan and mainland China take the day off, eat mooncakes, and gather as a family; the Korean-ethnic community of Yanbian in China keeps it as Chuseok, where tomb-sweeping comes first; and Japan does not close at all, treating it as an astronomical and seasonal night — where the national observatory is explicit that the 'harvest moon' is often not that night's full moon.
Around the same full moon, one place has no Mid-Autumn Festival at all, yet keeps a night-long vigil in prayer, leaves a sweet out under the moonlight, and shares it the next day — where is this?
