​​Mid-Autumn Festival is a Thanksgiving holiday originating from Shang Dynasty. People celebrate harvests in 8/15 of the lunar calendar. Families gather together to enjoy full moon, eating moon cakes and singing folk songs on this special occasion. As the time goes by, countries in Asia have developed various ways to spend this public holiday. In Hakka, Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Half August (八月半)". In order to experience Mid-Autumn Festival in Hakka and Southeast Asia way, Taipei Hakka Commission Affair invites balladeers to perform folk songs for celebration.

Design Concept

剪紙是東方古老的裝飾藝術，被廣泛應用於民間活動與節慶中，用於裝點各處，象徵祈福與吉祥之意。為呼應主題「世界的八月半」，融合東南亞各國共同慶祝中秋節，因文化風俗不同，發展出各具特色的過節方式。
此概念以不同服飾象徵各個民族，加上每個人物所搭配的物件或動作，如：提燈籠、吃月餅、唱山歌等，以東方工藝表現手法勾勒出具有各國特色的中秋代表圖示。
