The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival:
The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of the moon in ancient times. Ancient China people had a very mysterious belief in the moon, believing that the moon was the center of the universe and had powerful magic power. Therefore, people hold ceremonies to worship the moon on the evening of the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, that is, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon is the roundest and brightest. This ceremony gradually evolved into a custom of family reunion. On this day, people will return to their hometown, reunite with their families, enjoy delicious food and celebrate the harvest and reunion.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people will enjoy the moon, eat moon cakes and drink tea, and these customs continue to this day. Appreciating the moon is one of the most important activities in Mid-Autumn Festival. People will look up at the sky outdoors, enjoy the bright moon and sigh the wonder of nature. Moon cakes are essential food for Mid-Autumn Festival. Moon cakes are round in shape, symbolizing reunion and completeness. Besides, people will have tea and chat and enjoy the reunion.
Modern Mid-Autumn Festival also incorporates some new elements. For example, in some cities, there will be large-scale moon viewing activities and light shows, attracting thousands of people to participate. Others will choose hiking, camping and other activities on this day to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature.
Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival to celebrate reunion, appreciate nature and cherish family ties. Whether in the city or in the countryside, young people or old people will enjoy this warm and happy moment on this day.
