In the past, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the image of fathers whittling bamboo to make lanterns, mothers setting up the food trays, and children eagerly listening to grandmothers telling Mid-Autumn stories became very familiar to children. Nowadays, without having to spend effort to make them, children are always bought by their parents with lanterns of various colors, styles, with functions of lighting, playing music... trendy. |
2. Mooncakes
 |  |
| In the past, moon cakes had only two types: baked cakes with mixed fillings and sticky rice cakes with mixed fillings. The fillings were made with meat and Chinese sausage. The cakes were sweet enough to burn the throat, but every child eagerly waited for the party to be broken so that their mother could cut them a piece of cake to eat. Nowadays, moon cakes are very different from the past. The fillings are made smooth and soft, not as crunchy as before. In addition, many types of cakes are imported from abroad, making traditional cakes no longer appear much. |
3. Old places to play Mid-Autumn Festival

In the past, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, everywhere we could hear the sounds of children singing, beating drums, carrying lanterns and dancing lions. Families would sit together in the yard to watch the moon, then go out to the streets to celebrate the festival with everyone, an extremely joyful scene. Nowadays, fathers and mothers can only take their children to nearby parks, amusement parks, busy shopping centers or streets specializing in selling Mid-Autumn toys to let them know what Mid-Autumn Festival is like, what Mid-Autumn Festival has to offer, to join the crowd to admire the beautiful, sparkling lantern streets. |

| The Mid-Autumn Festival tray in the past did not have many things to display, only a pair of moon cakes, candies, a few seasonal fruits such as grapefruit, persimmon, and a few simple candies... but all were skillfully arranged by mothers and sisters. Simple as that, but everyone was happy and bustling. Nowadays, the Mid-Autumn Festival tray has dozens of candies, both domestic and foreign, the fruits are not only persimmons and grapefruits but also grapes, mangosteens... Not to mention that mothers also painstakingly cut them into strange shapes. The Mid-Autumn Festival tray is therefore more sparkling and eye-catching. |

In the past, families would break the moon together, then go out to the streets to celebrate the traditional New Year, with lanterns and fragrant moon cakes. Nowadays, every time the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, there are no longer warm evenings sitting at home breaking the moon together, but instead, the way young people break the moon and go out on Mid-Autumn Festival has become newer and more trendy. Many people even choose to go to bars, clubs to have fun with friends,... or go to parties at restaurants, eateries... |
