Are the Central Plains and Mid-Autumn Festival the same festival (what does the Central Plains mean?

"Mid-Autumn Festival" is one of the traditional festivals of the Han nationality. "Yuan" means beginning and beginning. The first month of the lunar calendar is the beginning of a year, so it is called January. Ancient astrologers took Erjiazi as the "Central Plains", that is, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month (commonly known as "July and a half" in southern China), which was the day when the Han people sacrificed their deceased relatives and remembered their ancestors, and it was also one of the important "eight festivals".

Zhongyuan, Shangyuan and Xiayuan are collectively called "ternary". Shangyuan is the 15th day of the first month (Lantern Festival), Zhongyuan is the 15th day of July (Mid-Autumn Festival), and Xia Yuan is the 15th day of October, but Xia Yuan is gradually forgotten. The Mid-Autumn Festival, together with Tomb-Sweeping Day, clan and Han genealogy, is an important manifestation of ancestor worship in China, which has supported the development of China into a secular country and society for two thousand years, while most countries that worship gods in the world have evolved into religious societies.
