What is some of my ritual in which i participated in that is repeated and traditional to my family? There are tons of good examples in Taiwanese culture during the Chinese New Year and various holidays. One of my most favorite traditions was the moon festival BBQ. Every year on moon festival, Taiwanese people will become fanatic about BBQ. It seems like the only day in the year where everyone in Taiwan will gather with their friend or family to have BBQ dinner. This may puzzled many North Americans who basically can have BBQ any time they want in the year. In Taiwan, this seems like the tradition people have for a long time. On moon festival, people will head out to the supermarket or traditional market to buy foods for the BBQ. People will usually buy tons of meat and lots of chicken. After a whole morning of shopping, at night, people will began to start the fest and set up the grill and the fire. Kids and adults alike will happily put foods on the grill and cover them with tons of BBQ sauce. After the fest, following the Taiwanese customs, people will eat moon cakes with tons of teas to level out the sweetness of the sweet. Staring at the big and round moon, people would then eat pomelo for desert.
