China is a country with a large area and population, so people in different parts of China have different ways of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, some customs are the same throughout the whole country. On Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese people usually send moon cakes as gifts to their friends and relatives and then have a sumptuous dinner together called 团圆饭(tuányuánfàn) family reunion dinner, followed by watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Evening Party on TV. If it is a nice evening, some families also sit outside to admire the full moon and chat about 家常(jiācháng) daily life matters. For young people, they also send 短信(duănxìn) text messages to their classmates and friends, so their cell phones are usually filled up with text messages. As for specific customs on Mid-Autumn Festival, the activity of the Dong nationality in Taiwan is very interesting; for example, 偷菜求郎(tōucài qiúláng) is to steal vegetables to court men. A single woman will wear a new dress and go to her Mr. Right's garden to steal green Chinese onion or other vegetables under the moonlight. A successful theft heralds a happy marriage.
