Animation

On that particular night, Grandma would hold the mysterious ceremony with elfins. They would bake the bun called Hong Yuan and dye the Hong Yuan into the red. They would give Hong Yuan to the mother earth to express thanks.

每年夜長月，奶奶會背上剛做好的紅圓回到小漁村。紅圓像一顆顆小山丘、母親的乳房「感謝大地之母，大河之母。像洄游的魚，時間到了，還是要回家。」這是奶奶常說的。今晚的月亮又圓又大，精靈們開始聚集。奶奶將背著的紅圓放下，微笑著開始跳舞，邊跳邊將紅圓一顆顆拋向空中。紅色的光點排成一列，緩緩地向著月亮的方向去了。
