1, Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Tou"
When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know the palace in the sky, and I don't know the month and time. I'm willing to ride the wind to the sky, I'm afraid I can't stand the cold for nine days in a pavilion of fine jade. Dance and enjoy the shadow of the moon, which is in the world. The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. The moon should not have any resentment against people. Why is it round when people are gone? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope people live a long life.

The full moon flies in the mirror and returns to the heart to fold the sword. Turn the tent and travel far, climb the laurel and ascend to heaven. The waterway is suspected of frost and snow, but Qi Lin sees feathers. At this time, he looked at the white rabbit and wanted to count the autumn hairs.
3. Wang Jian's "Looking at the Moon at Fifteen Nights"
Atrium, Bai Shu Crow and Coody Leng Osmanthus fragrans are silent and wet. Tonight, people are looking forward to it. I want to know who will fall in Qiu Si!
The Mid-Autumn Festival is named because its value is exactly half that of Sanqiu. It is said that the moon is the biggest, roundest and brightest tonight. Since ancient times, people have had the custom of drinking and enjoying the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival night. Daughters-in-law who return to their parents' homes will return to their husbands' homes every day to show their completeness and auspicious celebration. It originated in ancient times, popularized in the Han Dynasty and shaped in the early Tang Dynasty.
Popular after the Song Dynasty, it is called the four traditional festivals in China together with the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the worship of the moon in autumn night in ancient times. Since ancient times, Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes, watching lanterns, enjoying osmanthus and drinking osmanthus wine.
According to Zhou Li, there have been activities in the Zhou Dynasty, such as "Mid-Autumn Night to Meet the Cold" and "Autumn Equinox Late Moon (Yue Bai)". The mid-August of the lunar calendar is also the time for the harvest of autumn grain. People hold a series of ceremonies and celebrations to thank the gods for their protection. This is the so-called "Autumn Newspaper". Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature is cool but not cold, the sky is crisp, and the moon is in the sky, which is the best season to enjoy the moon.
As a result, the composition of the festival was gradually replaced by enjoying the moon, and the color of the sacrifice gradually faded, but the festival continued and was given new significance. In the Northern Song Dynasty, August 15 was officially designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Mid-Autumn Festival was as famous as New Year's Day and became the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival.
After thousands of years of inheritance and changes, the spirit of "family reunion" has finally become the main cultural connotation of today's Mid-Autumn Festival.
