On the 15th Day of the eighth lunar month in China, Korea and Vietnam the middleautumn-festival is celebrated. In Vietnam, the festival is called Tết Trung Thu. It has its origins about 3,000 years ago and is associated with the legend of the farmers Thằng Cuội, which is told in countless different versions. One of these versions means that the farmer’s wife accidentally urinated on a banyan tree in their garden. Thereon whose roots are dissolved out of the ground. Thằng Cuội tried to hold the trunk, but was pulled up with him through a magical power to the moon. Since the children light lanterns every year on the eve of the feast to show the poor Thằng Cuội the way back to Earth. It lets itself be put off no one that the poor guy is now up there for several thousand years. Eventually it will work out and Thằng Cuội finally finds his way home. : D: D: D Around Tết Trung Thu, there are many activities for children. There are dragondances been executed and they receive small gifts of money or new toys. The traditional meal for that day, the so-called moon cakes or Bánh Trung Thu with their usually very sweet fillings comes in new varieties on the market every year.
