The festival origin of the next Yuan Festival:

Lunar calendar 10 15, the traditional "Xia Yuan Festival", also known as "Xia Yuan Day", was known as "the birthday of the water official" in the old society. Among the Taoist gods, the "three officials" have a higher status, especially among the Li people. Their origin is the natural worship of heaven, earth and water in the primitive folk beliefs born and bred.

Dian lue holds that Taoism in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty absorbed the traditional primitive folk beliefs, and the "three officials" of heaven, earth and water became the gods who dominated the fortunes of the world. In Song Dynasty, "three officials" were associated with "three yuan" (Shangyuan was the birthday of Tianguan in the first month, Zhongyuan was the birthday of Diguan on July 15th, and Xia Yuan was the birthday of Shuiguan on October 15th), which was called "three yuan".

Later, with the gradual decline of Taoism, people's understanding of "three yuan" gradually blurred, and the birthdays of the three officials became more and more bleak. According to the calendar, October 15th of the lunar calendar is also the last Mid-Autumn Festival in a year. At this full moon, people will carry out the most important ancestor worship activities.
