[Gift Box] 2024Mid-Autumn Festival Set
September 17 is the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival (the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar), and according to custom, everyone eats mooncakes. I made four types of mooncakes, a food box and a GaiWan tea sets.. Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for family reunion in China. 💙I wish you and your family a long-lasting companionship, happiness and health~

💙The Mooncake
One of the most famous traditions of the Mid-Autumn Festival is eating mooncakes, which are round pastries typically filled with various fillings. Mooncakes symbolize reunion and happiness, so on this day, family members share mooncakes together as an expression of love and good wishes.
People also celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival by admiring the moon. Ancient China has many poems and legends about moon gazing, and the moon is exceptionally bright and beautiful on this night.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also associated with lanterns and fireworks. In some places, people light various lanterns to create beautiful displays.
No matter where you are, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a wonderful time to celebrate with family and friends, savor mooncakes, admire the moon, light lanterns, and enjoy the joy of reunion.
💙Chinese Food Box
Ancient Chinese food box is actually equivalent to the current "take-out boxes" or "lunch boxes". As early as the Han Dynasty in China, the food delivery industry was born, and people's strict demand for the quality and quantity of food gave birth to a kind of utensils for wine shops and restaurants to transport cooked food, that is, Shi He(食盒）.
The shape of the food box is mostly a layered structure, which is composed of several compartments and trays stacked on top of each other, which is convenient for separating and holding different foods.
Because food boxes often carry exquisite and expensive food, their production techniques are mostly superior. Ancient food boxes have wood, bamboo, enamel and other materials, among which most of them are wood, especially red sandalwood, yellow pear, wenge, sour branches and other hardwoods with fine texture and smooth color, strong and tough, and the food box made of food is resistant to bumps, and has a certain weight, and the food is not easy to shake when picking and lifting.
There are many regulations for food boxes in ancient times. According to the way of use, they can be roughly divided into three types: carrying box（Ti He,提盒）, holding box（Peng He,捧盒）, and storage box（Zan He,攒盒）.
The carrying box（Ti He,提盒） is the most commonly used food box for delivering takeout in ancient times. It has a symmetrical handle to hold the box. Although it is large in size, it is light in material and can be carried away with one hand.
As the name suggests, the holding box（Peng He,捧盒） is used by holding it.
The word "Zan（攒）" in the storage box（Zan He,攒盒） means "gathering". Its interior is divided into many small grids, usually one in the middle, and then divided into multiple grids around it. There is a small box in each grid, which is very delicate. Its material is mainly paper-based and wood-based lacquer boxes. It is characterized by lightness and not very prominent insulation effect, so it is mostly used to store cold food.
This time I made a "carrying box（Ti He,提盒）". It is a common and classic shape among carrying boxes（Ti He,提盒）. I used simple wood texture without too much decoration.
💙GaiWan
The gaiwan is a traditional Chinese teaware, used in the brewing and consumption of tea. It consists of a bowl, a lid, and a saucer. The versatile gaiwan is suitable for almost any type of tea. And you can either use it to brew tea or to consume tea. It usually made from white porcelain or glass, will not alter the flavor of tea. So it allows you to taste the true flavor of tea.
It also comes in various types of utensils, and different utensil types have their own uses in how to bring out the advantages of a certain type of tea.
I made a most common tea bowl, which is shaped like an inverted bell. At the same time, it is matched with a host cup and a tea tray.
This is the most common way of matching tea sets for me, suitable for one person. If the capacity of the selected cup does not match the tea bowl, you need to add another fairness cup. If the tea leaves are always soaked in the tea bowl, the taste of the tea will become tight and astringent, and the time for each tea to come out is different depending on the type of tea.
With the popularity of dry brewing, more and more people will choose to use a small and practical tea tray to place their streamlined tea sets. The entire tea brewing process is carried out on the tea tray to keep the table dry.
