Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has symbolized reunion. As early as the Han dynasty, people observed the custom of “moon worship on autumn nights,” which flourished during the Tang and Song dynasties. Su Shi’s immortal line from Prelude to Water Melody—“May we all be blessed with longevity; though thousands of miles apart, we share the beauty of the moon together” — remains the most celebrated. Li Bai’s “Raising my cup, I invite the bright moon, and with my shadow we become three” expresses lofty solitude, while Zhang Jiuling’s “The moon rises from the sea; though at the ends of the earth, we gaze at the same moment” conveys yearning across distance. The Mid-Autumn moon embodies not only celestial wonder, but also human longing and the spirit of reunion. From all of us at Bluerider ART, we send you heartfelt wishes of joy and togetherness.
