You are at Chinese Lunar Days (Full Moon/ New Moon)> Archive for year 2025
This listing is useful for Chinese who are observing new moon and full moon as well as certain festivals. Many Taoist/Buddhist Chinese observe a vegetarian diet for many years on new/full moon days. I actually started observing vegetarian diet since I was 15 years old on each new/full moon days for many years. And some would buy fruits and offerings on new/full moon to be placed on the altar in their home.
