Every Mid-Autumn Festival, besides the bustling sound of lion drums and moon-viewing trays, many schools have brought students a special experience: making moon cakes by hand as gifts for grandparents and parents.
Those little cakes not only contain joy but also contain great lessons about gratitude, cultural traditions and team spirit.
At first glance, baking Mid-Autumn Festival is a simple task: from weighing flour, kneading filling, shaping, and waiting for the cake to turn golden brown. But when students participate directly, each step becomes a valuable experience. They not only learn how to make the cake but also learn how to coordinate and share work with friends, practice meticulousness and patience - seemingly small but very necessary skills for life.
What is more precious is that each cake the children make carries their sincere feelings. When they wrap the results to give to their grandparents, parents, and teachers, it is a way to express gratitude and love through concrete actions. In the context of modern society, when many traditional values are easily forgotten, teaching children to express love through simple things like this becomes even more necessary.
Making moon cakes also has great value in preserving and cultivating national cultural identity. Moon cakes are a symbol of reunion, associated with fairy tales about Cuoi and Hang. When directly kneading dough and molding, children are touching national culture, thereby increasing their love and pride for tradition. This is the most effective way to "sow the seeds" of culture, through vivid and realistic experiences.
Not only does it have cultural and emotional significance, it also contributes to making the school atmosphere warmer and more intimate. Instead of just being confined to knowledge lessons, the school has created a connecting space where teachers and students participate and have fun together. These are moments for students to feel that school is not only a place to study but also a home that nurtures the soul.
Gratitude, cultural traditions, and the spirit of collective labor in each student do not come naturally, they need to be nurtured and cultivated every day. Therefore, each school and society needs to create more "playgrounds" for students to "learn from life", both practicing skills and cultivating emotions and personality. Not only stopping at making moon cakes, other cultural and collective labor experiences such as: planting trees, wrapping banh chung on Tet holiday, participating in community work... should all be maintained and expanded.
More importantly, teachers and parents need to accompany and encourage students to express gratitude and love through concrete actions so that these values gradually permeate into their lifestyle. When each student knows how to appreciate the fruits of labor and is proud of their achievements, Cultural traditions and attachment to the collective are the foundation for solid growth.
