Mooncakes and Tea Culture Shine at Mid Autumn Festival

 


THE Mid-Autumn Mooncake Festival and Tea Culture Exhibition, themed “China-Myanmar Tea Friendship; Bright Full Moon Shines Across the Globe,” was held yesterday at Hline Mingala Hall in Mayangon Township, Yangon.

“I wish everyone attending today’s festival great joy and every success in all your endeavours,” said Mr Li Qianguo, Counsellor at the Chinese Embassy.

U Nyunt Win, Director-General of the Department of Fine Arts under the Ministry of Culture, Hotels, and Tourism, stated: “In Myanmar, seasonal festivals are celebrated throughout the twelve months, blending Myanmar traditional culture with Buddhist culture. These festivals hold profound cultural meaning in Myanmar tradition and serve as regional celebrations that foster friendship between our two countries.”

He added: “The People’s Republic of China is also a country with a rich and diverse cultural heritage. China’s Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most prominent festivals. Looking forward to future progress in bilateral relations, I wish for enduring China-Myanmar friendship, as well as continuous peace, prosperity, and development for China. “I believe that through such cultural exchanges, people to people ties, mutual understanding, and friendly relations between our two nations will be further strengthened. We will continue our cooperation in the future,” he said.

Following the speeches, cultural performances were staged by the Yunnan Cultural Dance Troupe, the Myanmar Cultural Heritage Preservation Organization, and the Yangon Yunnan Social Aid Association. The event also featured traditional tea art demonstrations, Mid Autumn mooncake exhibition booths, painted hand fans, and Chinese calligraphy displays.
