when i was younger, i remember family gathering around the our ancestor's tablet
i believe its something along the lines of the chinese equivalence to european's remembrance day?
not really a celebration as such but a somber day reminiscing about our ancestors
alot of story telling and tall tales from the old folks
for us, its another opportunity to catch up with everyone since CNY
we had most if not all family members back and had family dinners
not sure how this would impacts mongering scene in hk, macau or mainland china for that matter
highly doubt if anything, these days, everyone just calls in, sorta like a check up on each other
no more family banquets since everybody's busy these days
