The festival honors three interconnected ideas.

Firstly, this celebration typically involves some sort of gathering, be it amongst friends and family or the gathering of crops. They say the Moon is at its fullest and roundest on this day, signalling a time for families to come together. And this is the main reason why the festival is so significant.

Secondly, it is for Thanksgiving, a time to express gratitude for a bountiful harvest or a peaceful union.

And lastly, Praying (asking for spiritual or material fulfilment) for things like children, a partner, beauty, a long and healthy life, or a prosperous future.
