Decorating a Mid-Autumn Festival tray is an indispensable task during this “children's” holiday. With the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, show off your skills by decorating a beautiful Mid-Autumn tray according to the suggestions below so that your whole family can have a warm and meaningful fifteenth night of the eighth lunar month.
Each type of fruit has an interesting meaning. All of them combine to form a hope, a dream, and human happiness. Red persimmons bring hope. Sugar apples represent the wish for prosperity and growth. Pomelos symbolize good things. Pomegranates bring sweetness and luck. Watermelons and cantaloupes wish for peace...
How to arrange a full and meaningful Mid-Autumn tray depending on the region includes items such as: mooncakes, green pomelos, sugar apples, shiny red persimmons, soaked persimmons, pomegranates, guavas, oranges, purple sugarcane, bananas, watermelons, fragrant yellow 'thi' fruit.... Among them, the pomelo is an indispensable item anywhere.
To make the Mid-Autumn tray look its best, pay attention to the colors of the fruits. No matter what kind of fruit you want to display, you should have both green and ripe fruits. Because green represents Yin, and ripe fruit represents Yang, symbolizing the universe's law of balance between Yin and Yang.
In addition to using traditional five-fruit tray decorations, you can also decorate with more animals made from fruits and vegetables to make your five-fruit tray more vivid.
