My writing teacher, Chris, is confused about the meaning of Moon Festival. It is true that the moon shows up everyday except in some special situations. Why do the Chinese celebrate on the day that seems no difference to other people? I think that people in the past emphasize the importance of family, so they make some traditions of having family reunions on some special days in one year. Also, the full moon means "perfection" because of the circle shape. Maybe that is the reason people celebrate for.

Thank you for elucidating. Perhaps it is a celebration of being able to see something clearly and entirely, when it is usually partly hidden?
