Chinese officials have been warned not to succumb to the darkside of the Mid-Autumn Festival and break frugality rules.
The frugality campaign prohibits officials from accepting luxury gifts or using public money to fund the trips or banquets. In addition, government departments are barred from distributing bonuses in the name of holiday celebrations.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China is encouraging the public to inform on any wrongdoing, and has promised severe punishments to anyone found to have breached the rules.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Sept. 27, three days ahead of the week-long national holiday.

China will impose heavier punishments on people involved in scientific paper scandals.
The China Association for Science and Technology says retraction of scientific papers by international publishers has done great harm to China's academic development and its reputation.
Back in March, BioMed Central from the United Kingdom retracted 43 scientific papers, of which 41 were from the Chinese mainland, because of fake peer-reviews provided by a third-party agents.
In another recent case, the Springer-Verlag Publishing House announced retraction of 64 papers published in its 10 academic journals. All of them were by Chinese authors.
Investigation showed that most of the authors submitted their papers via a third-party agent which not only provided language services and submissions but services beyond basic academic ethics including trading papers.
