Introduction and origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival
The fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month is a traditional festival in our country. The Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival and Dragon Boat Festival are also known as the four major traditional festivals of the Chinese Han people. According to historical records, ancient emperors had the ritual system of worshiping the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. The festival of worshiping the moon is on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which happens to be in the middle of autumn, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival"; and because this festival is in the Autumn falls in August, so it is also called the "Autumn Festival", "August Festival", "August Meeting", and "Mid-Autumn Festival"; there are also beliefs and related festivals and activities to pray for reunion, so it is also called "Reunion Festival", "Reunion Festival", "Mid-Autumn Festival". Daughter's Day". Because the main activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival revolve around the "moon", it is also commonly known as "Moon Festival", "Moon Eve", "Moon Chasing Festival", "Moon Playing Festival" and "Moon Worshiping Festival"; in the Tang Dynasty, The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the "Correct Month". Regarding the origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are roughly three types: it originated from the ancient worship of the moon, the custom of singing and dancing under the moon to find a partner, and the ancient custom of worshiping the earth god in the autumn newspaper.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has been a national statutory holiday since 2008. The country attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. On May 20, 2006, the festival was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of intangible cultural heritage lists.
The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first seen in "The Rites of Zhou". According to the ancient Chinese calendar, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month falls in mid-August of the autumn of the year, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival". There are four seasons in a year, and each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji. Because the second month of autumn is called Zhongqiu, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Zhongqiu Festival". In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was a record of "ordering the minister to suppress the cattle confusion, and on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the left and right people were incognito and flooded the river". It was not until the early Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. "Book of Tang·Taizong Ji" records the "Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th". The popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become as famous as New Year's Day and became one of the major festivals in our country. This is also the second largest traditional festival in our country after the Spring Festival.

"August 15th Night in Peach Garden and Moonlight" (Tang Dynasty) Liu Yuxi
My heart feels free when I see the moon in the dust, especially in the Qingqiu Fairy Mansion.
The condensed light and long cold dew fall, standing on the mountain at this time.
There are no clouds in the blue sky, no wind can move, there are pines growing on the mountains and water flowing down from the mountains.
A leisurely look at the group of animals, the sky is high and the sky is thousands of miles apart.
The young master led me to the jade altar and invited me to the real immortal official.
The clouds were about to move and the stars were moving, and Tianle let out a cry of coldness in his muscles and bones.
The golden clouds and clouds gradually move eastward, and the shadows of the wheel are still seen frequently.
It is difficult to combine beautiful scenery and good times again, so he should feel melancholy on this day.
"Looking at the Moon in the Pavilion on the Night of August 15th" (Tang Dynasty) by Bai Juyi
In the past year, on the night of August 15th, I was at the apricot garden beside the Qujiang Pool.
On the night of August 15th this year, in front of the Shatou Water Museum in Penpu.
Looking to the northwest, where is my hometown? To the southeast, I can see how full the moon is.

1. The well-known legend of "Chang'e flying to the moon".
After Chang'e flew to the moon, Hou Yi missed her day and night, so he asked his maid to set up an offering table under the moonlight with various fruits that Chang'e loved most. Neighbors and folks also set up altar tables and fruits in their courtyards to bless the beautiful and kind-hearted Chang'e. From then on, it happened every year and was passed down from generation to generation. Every August 15th, everyone will go to worship Chang'e under the moon. Since this day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, people designate this day as the Mid-Autumn Festival.
2. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the ancient autumn activities of worshiping the earth god.
In traditional farming societies, spring sowing, summer harvest, autumn harvest, and winter storage are the main labor activities. The harvest conditions of the land are crucial to the people who make a living from it. Therefore, people still have a deep respect for the land. Every time when sowing in spring, people will offer sacrifices to the God of the Earth and pray for a good harvest. This activity is called "Spring Prayer". In autumn, which is the harvest season, people also have to offer sacrifices to the God of the Earth and thank the God for their protection, which is called "Autumn Report". August 15th is the autumn harvest season, and every family must worship the land god. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival may be a custom inherited from the ancients' "Autumn Report".
3. The Mid-Autumn Festival is related to the ancient custom of worshiping the moon.
The vernal equinox celebrates the sun, and the autumnal equinox celebrates the moon. Since ancient times, the autumnal equinox has been a traditional "moon worship festival." According to historical records, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, ancient emperors had the custom of worshiping the sun at the spring equinox, the earth at the summer solstice, the moon at the autumnal equinox, and the sky at the winter solstice. The current Mid-Autumn Festival evolved from the traditional Moon Festival. There are accurate historical data that show that the original "Moon Sacrifice Festival" was set on the "Autumn Equinox" day. However, since the date of this day in the eighth month of the lunar calendar varies every year, there may not always be a full moon. But worshiping the moon without the moon is a great disgrace to the scenery. Therefore, the "Moon Sacrifice Festival" was later adjusted to August 15th every year, and this became the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival to worship the moon
It is a very ancient custom in our country. According to historical records, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, ancient emperors had the custom of worshiping the sun at the spring equinox, the earth at the summer solstice, the moon at the autumnal equinox, and the sky at the winter solstice. The places where they worship are called the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Earth, the Temple of the Moon, and the Temple of Heaven. It is divided into four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest.
The Moon Altar in Beijing is where emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties worshiped the moon. "Book of Rites" records: "The emperor faces the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. When the sun rises and falls, the moon falls on the eve." The eclipse of the eclipse moon here refers to the worship of the moon at night. This custom was not only pursued by the court and upper-class nobles, but also gradually affected the people with the development of society.
