What are the customs of Mid-Autumn Festival in Taiwan Province Province?

The custom of enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes and tasting grapefruit.

It has been hundreds of years since Fujian and Guangdong ancestors immigrated to Taiwan Province. Recently, although the Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet arrived on the right day, from time to time in the evening, I can meet a group of men, women and children around the stove to barbecue slices, corn, mushrooms and other ingredients. It is understood that supermarkets all over the world have launched barbecue counters on holidays, and the business is very prosperous.

Eating grapefruit is also a characteristic custom of autumn festival in Fujian and Taiwan. Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the production season of grapefruit, so it seems a good match to taste greasy grapefruit after barbecue. And grapefruit also has the homonym of "grapefruit", which means auspiciousness. While celebrating the festival, I also won a "lottery".

In Taiwan Province Province, buying moon cakes can also be done for charity. Some charitable organizations on the island cooperate with enterprises to attract disabled people to make moon cakes and increase their income. In supermarkets, people can participate in the activities organized by charitable organizations to donate mooncake gift boxes for disabled students, and convey a kind of great love that can warm more people's hearts in traditional festivals.

The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival:

Mid-Autumn Festival is a relic of ancient celestial worship-the custom of worshipping the moon. In the "autumnal equinox" season of the 24 solar terms, it is an ancient "Mid-Autumn Festival", and the Mid-Autumn Festival comes from the traditional "Mid-Autumn Festival".

In traditional culture, the moon and the sun are the same, and these two alternate celestial bodies become the objects of ancestor worship. The Mid-Autumn Festival celebration originated from ancient people's sacrifice to the moon, which is the legacy and derivative of China people's custom of sacrificing to the moon. Sacrificing to the moon is a very old custom in China. In fact, it is a ritual activity of the ancients in some places in ancient China to "Moon God".

According to research, "Mid-Autumn Festival" was originally set on the day of autumnal equinox in the twenty-four solar terms of the Ganzhi calendar. However, due to the change of the calendar, the lunar calendar (summer calendar) is used, and the date of the August and autumn equinox in the summer calendar is different every year, and there may not be a full moon. Later, the "Moon Festival" was transferred from the twenty-four solar terms in the dry calendar to the fifteenth day of August in the summer calendar (lunar calendar).
