Mooncake Festival by Eng Bee Tin

Mid-Autumn means Mooncake Festival, The Mid-Autumn Festival is an East Asian harvest festival celebrated notably by the Chinese and Vietnamese people. The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar with full moon at night, corresponding to late September to early October of the Gregorian calendar with a full moon at night. Mooncakes, a rich pastry typically filled with sweet-bean or lotus-seed paste, are traditionally eaten during the festival.
These lights are inspired by mooncake.

Bo Bing also is known as Pua Tiong Chiu is a Chinese dice game traditionally played as part of the celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is traditionally played with six dice and a china bowl.


The Chinese name Bo Bing translates as “gambling for cakes”, and the game traditionally has 63 different sized mooncakes as prizes for the winning players: 32 of the smallest cake, half as many of the next largest, and so on ending with a single large Zhuangyuan cake. In modern times, the game’s instructions are often printed on mooncake packaging, although the game is also played with prizes of daily necessities, household appliances or money.
