How it's used
This term is almost exclusively used in the context of the Mid-Autumn Festival. While it describes the act of looking at the moon, it carries a sense of leisure and appreciation rather than just observing the night sky. It is often paired with activities like eating mooncakes or lighting lanterns.
Examples
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, my whole family went to the seaside to enjoy the full moon.
Are you interested in going to enjoy the full moon with me tomorrow night?
