Mid-Autumn Festival was only made an official holiday in 2008, but people have celebrated it for centuries
Though it’s one of the oldest traditional celebrations in China, Mid-Autumn Festival, or Zhongqiu Jie (中秋节), didn’t become an official holiday until 2008. That year, in an effort to promote traditional culture, the country’s State Council made the festival a paid holiday for workers, along with Qingming Festival and Duanwu Festival.
