The Mid-Autumn Festival is introduced as follows:

Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as "Mid-Autumn Festival", "Mid-Autumn Festival", "August Festival", "Mid-Autumn Festival", "Daughter's Day" and "Reunion Festival", is a traditional cultural festival popular among many ethnic groups in China. It is named because its value is only 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.

The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival is as follows:

At first, the festival of "Sacrificing the Moon" was held on the "Autumn Equinox" of the twenty-four solar terms in the Ganzhi calendar, and later it was moved to August 15th in the summer calendar (lunar calendar). According to China's calendar, August in the lunar calendar is in the middle of autumn, which is the second month of autumn, and it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival", while August 15th is in the middle of autumn, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival".

The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival is as follows:

Mid-Autumn Festival is the confluence of many customs and events, such as Mid-Autumn Festival, Autumn Festival, Moon Appreciation and Moon Palace Legend. It originated in the pre-Qin Dynasty and finally settled in the Tang Dynasty.

The evening moon is the autumnal equinox when the ancient emperors offered sacrifices to the moon. "Li Zhouguan Chunzong Bo Dian Rui" Zheng Xuan Note: The son of heaven is always divided into Asahi and Qiuyue. "Historical Records Biography of Xiao Wu Pei Zhi" quoted Ying Shao as saying: "The son of heaven worships the sun outside the East Gate in spring and the bright moon in autumn. The Asahi is facing the DPRK, and the evening is in the evening. " Now the Moon Altar in Beijing, formerly known as the Moon Altar, is the place where the Ming and Qing emperors sacrificed the moon at the autumnal equinox.

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 transformation, the spirit of "family reunion" has finally become the main cultural connotation of today's Mid-Autumn Festival.
