Achieve a fuller health in the midst of the festive celebrations by understanding the quadrants of health.

花 Huā |
Definition: Flower |
Flowers are frequently used in Chinese culture for various auspicious representations. As the Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the blossoming of Osmanthus flowers, this fragrant flora has become infused in the mid-autumn tradition of Osmanthus cakes and wines during this festive season. Osmanthus is believed to be synonymous with longevity, and Osmanthus wine is often offered as a toast to the elders for good health and longevity.

月 Yuè |
Definition: Moon |
A full moon symbolises reunion and togetherness. As such, mooncakes are made to be round, and eaten together with the family as a symbol of reunion.
Fun fact: A mooncake is not supposed to be eaten whole, but is cut into the number of pieces corresponding to the number of family members in your household. This signifies how each member (pieces) is connected and thus, comes together as a whole.
