Meaning: Moon, reunion, the legend of Chang’e

The full moon unites what distance divided.
On this night, we remember Chang’e—the moon maiden,
and all things beautiful that drift far but do not vanish.

Eat mooncakes or round fruits.
Taste the circle that binds families across time.
Let sweetness return to the tongue of memory.

Call or think of someone far away.
Let their name rise with the moon.
Your thought is the bridge they will feel.

Look up and smile.
You are not alone in this sky.
They are looking too.
