The origin of festivals

This festival originated from the "July and a half" harvest in early autumn to worship ancestors. The appearance of "July 30" can be traced back to ancient ancestor worship and harvest festival. In ancient times, people often relied on the blessing of the gods to obtain a bumper harvest in agriculture.

Worship ancestors in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the "autumn flavor" in early autumn is very important. Autumn is the harvest season. People hold ceremonies to sacrifice the souls of ancestors, first offering the best seasonal products to the gods, and then tasting the fruits of these labors themselves, hoping for a bumper harvest in the coming year.

"July 30th" was originally an ancient folk festival to worship ancestors, but it was called "Central Plains Festival" and originated from Taoism after the Eastern Han Dynasty. Taoism has a "ternary theory", and the name of "Zhongyuan" comes from "Heaven officials bless Yuan, local officials forgive sins in Yuan, and water officials slow down in Yuan".

Buddhism calls July and a half the "Kasahara Festival". In the Tang Dynasty, the rulers respected Taoism, and the Taoist Mid-Autumn Festival became popular, and gradually fixed the "Mid-Autumn Festival" as the name of the festival, which was set on July 15 and has continued to this day.
