The origin of the name

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "the first month", and the record of "Reunion Festival" was first seen in the literature of Ming Dynasty. "August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people send moon cakes to each other to show their reunion," he wrote in Notes on Traveling to the West Lake. "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" also said: "On August 15th, the moon was sacrificed, cakes were round, melons were deformed, and lotus flowers were carved in petals. Anyone who has a wife who returns to Ning will return to her husband's house on the same day, which is also called the Reunion Festival. "

At first, the festival of offering sacrifices to the moon was held on the "autumnal equinox" of the twenty-four solar terms in the dry calendar, and later it was moved to August 15th in the summer calendar. According to the calendar of China, the eighth month of the lunar calendar is in the middle of autumn, which is called "Mid-Autumn Festival", and the fifteenth day of August is in the middle of autumn, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival".
