一轮皓月，牵起四海情思。

中秋承载着中国人千百年的团圆期许，源远流长的中华文化跨越山海、向外传播，浸润了诸多国家与地区。各地依托中秋本源，结合本土风土人情，衍生出千姿百态的月圆庆典。

日本“月见节”：日本人称中秋为“月见”，赏月习俗在1000多年前从中国传入。与中国人吃月饼不同，日本人吃江米团子，称为“月见团子”。日本还有独特的“月见小偷”习俗，中秋这天允许小孩偷窃祭月供品，据说被偷走是很吉利的事。

越南“中秋节”：与中国不同，越南中秋同时也是儿童节。家长们会送给孩子玩具和零食，其中灯笼必不可少。每年中秋节期间，越南各地都要举行花灯节，孩子们则提着各种灯笼，成群结队地尽情嬉闹。

泰国“祈月节”：泰国人中秋参拜月亮，桌上供奉中国民间传说的“八洞神仙”，摆满寿桃、月饼等美食。据泰国传说，八仙会带着寿桃到月宫给观音祝寿，菩萨神仙就会“降福生灵”。

韩国“秋夕节”：秋夕节是韩国最重要的传统节日之一，全国放假三天。韩国人秋夕节首先要祭拜祖先，然后跳舞、赏月，还要吃松糕，松糕以米粉制成，内馅为豆沙、枣泥等。

马来西亚与新加坡：马来西亚华人中秋必定赏月、吃月饼、提灯笼游行，吉隆坡等地会举行提灯笼游行庆中秋活动。赏灯与游园是新加坡中秋节期间的热门活动，牛车水唐人街是每年中秋最热闹的地段，有集体提灯游行和舞台节目。

海上生明月，天涯共此时。不同国家的中秋习俗虽有差异，却共同承载着人们对自然的敬畏、对丰收的喜悦和对亲情的珍视。

A bright full moon stirs the hearts of people across the four seas. The Mid-Autumn Festival carries the Chinese people's millennia-old longing for reunion. The long-standing Chinese culture has spread across mountains and seas, influencing many countries and regions. Each place, building on the festival's origins and blending in local customs, has developed a rich variety of full-moon celebrations.

Japan's "Tsukimi"

The Japanese call Mid-Autumn "Tsukimi" (moon viewing), a custom introduced from China over 1,000 years ago. Unlike Chinese people who eat mooncakes, Japanese people eat rice dumplings called "Tsukimi dango." Japan also has a unique "Tsukimi thief" custom: on Mid-Autumn Day, children are allowed to steal offerings made to the moon; having them stolen is said to be very auspicious.

Vietnam's "Mid-Autumn Festival"

Unlike in China, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam is also Children's Day. Parents give their children toys and snacks, with lanterns being an essential part of the celebration. Every year during the festival, lantern festivals are held all across Vietnam, and children carry all kinds of lanterns, playing happily in groups.

Thailand's "Pray to the Moon Festival"

Thai people worship the moon at Mid-Autumn,placing offerings to the "Eight Immortals" from Chinese folklore on the table, along with peaches of longevity, mooncakes and other delicacies. According to Thai legend, the Eight Immortals bring peaches of longevity to the moon palace to congratulate Guanyin, and the Buddhas and immortals then "bless all living beings."

South Korea's "Chuseok"

Chuseok is one of South Korea's most important traditional festivals, with a three-day national holiday. On Chuseok, Koreans first pay respects to their ancestors, then dance and enjoy the moon, and eat songpyeon—rice cakes made from rice flour with fillings such as red bean paste or jujube paste.

Malaysia and Singapore

For Malaysian Chinese, the Mid-Autumn Festival is always marked by moon-gazing, eating mooncakes, and lantern processions, with events like these held in Kuala Lumpur and other cities. Lantern viewing and garden fairs are popular activities during the festival in Singapore, and Chinatown — known locally as "Niu Che Shui" — is the liveliest spot every year, featuring collective lantern parades and stage performances.

"As the bright moon rises over the sea, we share this moment though far apart." Although Mid-Autumn customs differ from country to country, they all carry people's reverence for nature, joy over the harvest, and cherishing of family bonds.
