First of all, did you know that the custom of BBQ during the Mid-Autumn Festival is actually unique to Taiwan?
There are various theories as to why this custom of BBQs began in Taiwan, but it is said that it was triggered by an advertisement by a soy sauce manufacturer in the 1980s.
Soy sauce manufacturer Wei Quan ran an advertisement with the catchphrase "One Family Roast Meat, Three Family Fragrances," and another soy sauce manufacturer, Wan Jia Xiang, aired a commercial using the same catchphrase. After that, Kinlan aired a commercial for its barbecue sauce, and the sale of Jia Le Fu's barbecue sets coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is said to have influenced the tradition of eating BBQ on the Mid-Autumn Festival to take root.
It is said that the custom of enjoying outdoor BBQs has existed even before that time, and this seems to be connected to the BBQ culture of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Taiwan.
