This year, the joyous anthems of National Day and the bright full moon of Mid-Autumn Festival meet once again, weaving a unique tapestry of festivity for this "dual-festival celebration". When the nation’s birthday coincides with the traditional lunar festival, patriotism and the sentiment of family reunion intertwine to form the warmest backdrop of this autumn.
01 Successive Festivals: Linking Family and Nation
The successive arrival of National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival is a beautiful resonance between the nation’s prosperity and families’ reunions. On October 1st, we jointly celebrate the motherland’s birthday; a few days later, on October 6th (Mid-Autumn Festival), we will enjoy the warmth of family gatherings.
“As a nation thrives, so do its people.” This fortuitous order of the festivals embodies the profound emotional connection of the Chinese people. Just as depicted in the long scroll of history, National Day is a testament to the country’s prosperity, while Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes family togetherness.
The nation’s strength and peace safeguard the happiness and tranquility of thousands of households; in turn, the light of reunions from countless families converges to fuel the country’s prosperity. This sentiment of “family and nation as one” is the most touching essence of this dual-festival celebration.
02 Tradition Meets Modernity: Intertwining and Integration
The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival dates back to the autumn evening moon-worshipping rituals in ancient times, while National Day embodies the glorious achievements of modern China. When age-old traditions encounter contemporary celebrations, we witness the inheritance and innovation of culture.
From fluttering national flags to moon-worshipping prayers, from blooming fireworks to gifting mooncakes—different ways of celebration convey the same blessings.
In northern China, people celebrate with “Rabbit God” figurines; in the south, they make lanterns. We admire the full moon while sipping tea, and rejoice with songs and dances. These rich and diverse customs showcase the profoundness, breadth, and inclusiveness of Chinese culture.
03 Double Blessings: Enduring Fortune and Joy
“First, we celebrate the nation’s strength; then, we savor family reunions.” As National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival arrive in succession, we are blessed with double the happiness.
This year, National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival will have a combined 8-day holiday, from October 1st to October 8th, forming a rare “Super Golden Week”. With two festivals celebrated together, double blessings descend upon us. In this special moment, we are filled with gratitude—grateful for the motherland’s strong protection, and grateful for the warm companionship of our families.
May the moon be full and people safe, and may the nation be prosperous with abundant harvests. The dreams of us “Guihang people” (employees of Guihang) resonate in harmony with the motherland’s development: we realize our values through hard work and embrace happiness amid reunions.
In this beautiful era of national prosperity and people’s peace, may the joy of this dual festival bring you extended happiness. Let us join hands in wishing: May the moon be full, families reunited, and the nation prosperous; may the country thrive and homes be harmonious. Happy Festivals!
