Parents are busy with the farm and inevitably lack time to spend with their children, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival set up to compensate the children after the busy farming.

Most of the people celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam are children, and they think that children are like the moonlight.

The customs vary from country to country, but in Vietnam, it's Children's Day.

Vietnam's Mid-Autumn Festival originated in China, and like China, Vietnam also admires the moon and eats mooncakes on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. But now the Mid-Autumn Festival in the two countries is the same sect and different factions.

The fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar coincides with the time when the rice is ripe and harvested, and at this time, every household must worship the god of the land.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, parents in Vietnam are unable to take care of their children when the farming season is busy, and the children can only take care of themselves, so at the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival, parents in Vietnam celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, on the one hand, to celebrate the harvest, and on the other hand, to see this as a day to express family care for their children and make up for the lack of time before. Over time, the Mid-Autumn Festival evolved into Children's Day in Vietnam.

The favorite mention of children during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam is the carp lantern, which has the meaning of carp jumping over the dragon gate. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a carp that harmed people after becoming a sperm, and Bao Gong used paper to tie a carp lamp to save the people. Therefore, the children have to carry the carp lantern on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the one hand, it is to pray for peace in the future, and on the other hand, it also indicates that the children will "jump the dragon gate" when they grow up.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the "mooncake war" and "toy war" between merchants make the festive atmosphere in Vietnam particularly strong. Unlike the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam is dominated by children. The market has a variety of mooncakes, lanterns, colorful children's toys and other festive foods and toys, and children's faces are overflowing with longing for the festival.

Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, lantern festivals are held all over Vietnam, and the design of the lanterns is judged and the winners are rewarded. In addition, some parts of Vietnam also organize lion dances during festivals, often on the 10th day of the eighth lunar month.
