The 15th day of the eighth lunar month has been celebrated as Mid-Autumn Festival since the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). Meanwhile, the round fan has been a cultural symbol associated with the full moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, reminding people of their families. Reciting poems, admiring the moon and putting on lantern displays are unique customs that are part of this holiday.
To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, the Prince Kung’s Palace Museum, together with People’s Daily New Media, the Chinese Dancers Association and Tencent, invites you to appreciate a dance inspired by the fan.
