On the evening of August 15 of the lunar calendar every year, the earth will not block the sun. On that day, the moon broke the children's reverie. It was no longer like a curved boat or a yellow banana, but like a round plate. This is the full moon festival, also known as the Mid Autumn Festival.

People celebrate the Mid-Autumn Fesitval with the activities like Mooncake Gambling(Game for Mooncakes), Parties, Enjoy looking at the moon with family members etc. The game is now modernized to make it more exciting, with gifts for players instead of just a mooncake. you will hear the pleasant silvery sound of the dice rolling. Cheers of winning or loss are everywhere.

The gambling game has six ranks of awards, which are named as the winners in ancient imperial examinations, and has 63 different sized mooncakes as prizes.

From the lowest to the highest, the titles of six ranks are Xiucai (the one who passed the examination at the county level), Juren (a successful candidate at the provincial level), Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination), Tanhua, Bangyan and Zhuangyuan (respectively the number three to number one winners in the imperial examination at the presence of the emperor).

The month-long grand festival attracted thousands of participants from Fujian, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao as well as people from some Southeast Asian countries

About the Original of Mooncake Gambling(Gaming for Mooncakes).

It was during the early days of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). The military remnants of the toppled Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) had retreated to Fujian province, where they looked toward the island of Taiwan as a base and refuge. But first, they had to fight the Dutch, who had occupied the island.

Zheng Chenggong led his men in a long siege on the Dutch. His fleet eventually wiped out the soldiers from Holland and the island was finally his. That's the brief background.

But during that long and weary process of laying siege, his men were often homesick and demoralized, especially during traditional festivals.

That was when a general under his command came up with the idea of throwing a party during Mid-Autumn Festival. Well, once you have a party, you had to have food, drink and party games. The excitement and rowdiness of the game helped chase away the homesick blues.
