A survey by Beijing Youth Daily shows 67.1 percent of Beijingers have changed
their ways of Moon Festival greetings to their friends and clients by sending
short messages, China Daily reports Wednesday.
They believe sending a short message is more convenient than delivering moon
cakes, a traditional Chinese pastry dedicated especially to the festival.
Aug. 15 on the Chinese lunar calendar, or Sept. 11 this year, is a family
reunion day, when Chinese family members would happily get together eating moon
cakes in the bright moon light.
The festival has also become a day when people would pay best regards to
friends, relatives and clients.
