Exclusive | British son-in-law experiences kite-flying, egg-balancing on 'Qiufen'

Qiufen or "Autumnal Equinox," the 16th of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, falls on September 23 this year. Qiufen is the midpoint of autumn. From here on, days will be shorter and nights will be longer in the Northern Hemisphere.

In the past, Qiufen was the day for people to worship the moon. However, the specific date of Qiufen was unfixed, so the "moon-worship day" was rescheduled for Mid-Autumn Day, when the moon was at its brightest and roundest.

Besides, flying kites and holding egg-balancing contests during this time have been among the favorite traditional games for the kids.

This year, Mark from Britain invites his friend Mary to experience some traditional activities of Qiufen. What are they going to do? Watch the video now to find out.
