The Mid-Autumn Festival in the Guangdong region is not only about mooncakes but also about pomelos. The pomelo, known as "You Zi(柚子)" in Chinese, is believed to protect people from harm and danger due to its pronunciation as "You(佑)", which means blessing in China. Its juicy pulp also symbolizes the family reunion. During the festival, families in Guangdong will gather to share pomelos, praying for the days ahead to be peaceful, safe, and far from disasters.
