CMG Mid-Autumn Gala Celebrates Global Reunion at Chang'e's Home

CCTV4's Mid-Autumn Gala, celebrating a global reunion, was held at the home of Chang'e, referencing a popular tradition associated with the Moon Festival.

The event is linked to the legend of Chang'e, who flew to the moon after consuming an elixir of immortality to prevent it from being stolen. This story is central to the festival's traditions.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is one of the most significant traditions in Chinese culture. It falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest.

The festival symbolizes family reunion and gratitude. Many gather to eat mooncakes, admire the moon, and share time with loved ones. The gala provides a platform to share these traditions globally.
