set up the grill, light the charcoal, put the chicken wings on, brush them with sauce... as the oil drips into the charcoal, the fire burns more and more, and the aroma of meat fills the air. on the saturday evening before the mid-autumn festival, there was a light rain in the sky, but many people still came to taipei dajia riverside park to barbecue.

"mid-autumn festival is all about barbecuing." mr. wang, a taipei citizen who brought his wife and children to the barbecue, told china news service that festivals are about reunions, and it is very lively when the family barbecues together.

mid-autumn festival barbecue is a unique festival activity in taiwan. a recent survey released by taiwan human resources agency yes123 job search network showed that 85.2% of respondents said they have the habit of barbecue during the mid-autumn festival.

as for the popularity of barbecue during the mid-autumn festival, some people believe that it is related to the "one family barbecue, ten thousand families' fragrance" advertisement launched by a soy sauce merchant in 1986; others analyze that hsinchu was originally a major barbecue oven manufacturing center, but due to the sluggish export market in the early 1980s, it turned to domestic sales and launched special-priced equipment during the mid-autumn festival, which boosted the barbecue trend.
