Chapter 2191: Visit Relatives

After the reunion festival, it was the usual practice for everyone to go from house to house and admire the moon with their relatives. Legends had it that there was a beautiful fairy living on the moon and she would come to the human world during the reunion festival every year. During this time, every family would hang lanterns outside the house, look at the moon and pray for blessings for the coming year. If a family had an unmarried daughter, they could also pray to the fairy to bless her with a good husband!

Every family would buy lots of glutinous rice balls at this time to be distributed to their relatives on the day after the reunion festival. This was a gesture to wish the recipients well and be blessed with unity, harmony and good fortune in the family.
