Lu Lu, the artistic director of Helin Society, will talk about the origin and traditional customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the traditional Ghost Day, while the same day of the eighth lunar month is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Both are full moons, but they aroused totally different emotions.
