People celebrate the day with a family banquet. All family members view the moon and eat mooncakes together. 

According to the old customs, the sacrifice to the moon was held mainly by women. The moon was regarded as the sun, so men did not participate in the sacrifice. 

People ate duck simmered with taro. The sons-in-law brought cakes and ducks to the homes of their parents-in-law to spend the festival, a custom known as "bringing children to eat duck together on the sixteenth day of the eighth lunar month". 

Engagements were often made in the festival because it is a festival for reunion. 

Today, the sacrifice to the moon has been canceled, but other customs still remain.
