Foreign Mid-Autumn Festival Gift-giving Customs

China's culture has a long history, and thousands of years of customs have spread in the years, affecting many neighboring countries. Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a festival in China, but also a traditional Japanese and Korean festival influenced by China culture. At the same time, it has also formed many customs of giving gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in Japan is called Taro Moon, also called Chestnut Moon, but it is no longer celebrated in modern Japan. On that day, people can stay at home and drink beer instead of watching the moon and watching TV programs. Due to the decline of traditional culture, young people don't know the origin and significance of festivals. No matter what holiday it is, you only know that you don't have to go to work that day.

The difference is that the Mid-Autumn Festival is called "Autumn Evening" in Korea, which is a grand folk festival second only to the Spring Festival. There are two legal holidays and weekends, which are the "Golden Week" with high gold content. People also write "Autumn Night" as Thanksgiving Day in English on the holiday schedule, which means Thanksgiving Day in Korea. Many people have the custom of giving gifts to each other in the Mid-Autumn Festival. In Korea, the most popular Mid-Autumn Festival gift is handmade rice cakes. It is said that rice cakes also contain sincerity, love and filial piety, which can best express the atmosphere of family reunion in Mid-Autumn Festival.

In some countries where there is no Mid-Autumn Festival, their gift-giving attitude is natural. Of course, there are not so many exquisite Mid-Autumn Festival gift-giving customs. If Germans are not interested in giving big gifts at Christmas, a bottle of perfume, a tie, a greeting card and even homemade cakes and jam are the best gifts for friends and family. If it is a gift for business or foreign affairs, they pay more attention to the meaning of the gift.

Mid-autumn festival etiquette in past dynasties

About the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, traditional sayings include Chang 'e, Jade Rabbit, Yuan Dynasty Uprising and so on. In fact, the core elements of Mid-Autumn Festival are the belief in respecting the moon that has existed since ancient times and the wind of Yue Bai that has spread for thousands of years. The Mid-Autumn Festival is essentially "China's Moon Festival", which contains the philosophical thoughts of our ancestors and the endless beliefs of Chinese descendants.

The sacrificial culture of Han nationality expresses three basic emotional orientations of "respecting heaven, respecting land and loving people", and worships three types of gods: God, Earth God and Ghost. Among the gods, there are three kinds of gods: God, Sun, Moon, Stars and Stars. The sun and the moon are one of the natural gods most worshipped by China's ancestors.

The ancient custom of sun and moon worship is very old and difficult to verify. However, Zhou Li and other documents clearly prove that the worship of the sun and the moon at that time has developed into a grand and formal sacrifice of the sun and the moon for the son of heaven. Li Zhou Dian Rui: "Ghosts worship the sun, the moon and the stars". Sacrifice: "Sacrifice the sun to the altar and the moon to the spine". "Mandarin Zhou Yu": "The ancient kings had the world, and they respected God and things, so there was a sunset red to teach the people to respect the king."

Why does the son of heaven worship the sun and the moon? Zheng Xuan said, "Show respect to those who are ashamed of the Japanese dynasty, and instruct the personnel and the monarch. The king's father is the sky, his mother is the earth, his brother is the sun and his sister is the moon. Therefore, he often regards the vernal equinox as the sun in the morning and the autumn equinox as the moon at night, which makes people feel uncomfortable. " The emperor regards himself as the son of God, taking heaven as his father, the earth as his mother, the sun as his brother, the moon as his sister, and the son of heaven worships the sun and the moon, which is not only awe, praying for protection, but also showing the meaning of "filial piety" to all the subjects in the world, that is, sacrificing heaven and earth to show filial piety, and sacrificing the sun and the moon to show compassion.

The time for offering sacrifices to the sun and the moon has been set at the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox since the Zhou Dynasty, which is called "dichotomy". Why do you want to make it these two days? This should start with astronomy and the twenty-four solar terms.

Every summer to the future, the sun moves southward from the Tropic of Cancer day by day until it reaches the longitude of the Yellow River 180 degrees around September 23rd (22-24) of the Gregorian calendar every year. At this time, the sun is almost directly at the equator, and further south, autumn in the northern hemisphere is over and winter is coming. This moment is called the autumnal equinox in the twenty-four solar terms. Ancestors believed that the sun belongs to the nature of yang and the moon belongs to the nature of yin. "Heaven and earth are supreme, so it is used to sacrifice two pairs of two." The sun and the moon are in the next life, the sun at the vernal equinox is eternal, and the yin at the autumnal equinox is long, so the sacrifice is divided into two points to get the meaning of yin and yang. "Zheng Xuan also said," The shoes of a gentleman are in the beginning and in the middle, so this is also divided. "Therefore, the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox become the days of offering sacrifices to the sun and the moon respectively.

Sacrifice to the sun is called "Asahi" and sacrifice to the moon is called "Late Moon". "jathyapple Ceremony" became a unique name for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the moon.

Although Zhou Li has established the system of "the sun and the moon are divided into two parts", and the time of offering sacrifices to the sun and the moon in past dynasties is not absolutely fixed (fluctuations mainly occur in relatively short dynasties), on the whole, the spring and autumn division is still the most basic date for emperors to offer sacrifices to the sun and the moon.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival composition

Speaking of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I have nothing special, because I didn't go to a restaurant to eat with my father and relatives, nor did I go to my grandparents' home to enjoy the moon with my mother. Only my dad went to dinner, and only my mom and I were at home, so I had a jiaozi for dinner, that's all.

At 6: 20 pm, I went downstairs without playing with my partner, and looked up at the night sky. I only saw dark clouds, but I didn't see that beautiful figure-the moon I love. Empty in my heart, just go home. ...

In the evening, the weather turned cold. Usually, there are few people outside, but today is different. On the contrary, there are more and more people outside, mostly to enjoy the moon.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, I came to my balcony and saw that beautiful figure-the moon. Now, not only the dark clouds, but also an extra moon quietly climbed to the top of the clouds, which is particularly dazzling. Looking at the particularly dazzling moon, I inadvertently remembered two poems: I didn't know the moon when I was a child, so I called it a white jade plate. I suspect it is Yao's platform, flying in the sky. Looking at it, I feel much better. In order to remember this year's moon, I specially photographed this year's moon with my mobile phone as a souvenir. I was fascinated. Suddenly, there was a particularly harsh sentence saying, "The moon is really beautiful this year!" " "My family is finally reunited this year!" It turns out that my grandparents who are discussing the Mid-Autumn Festival downstairs are very happy to mention this. Hearing this, I was slightly moved: it's really a matter of grandparents enjoying the moon, and my nose is sore when I think about it. ...

I remember that in the past, no matter what festivals, my parents and I would go to my grandparents' home for the holidays and talk about family affairs together every day. At that time, we were always happy and time always passed quickly. Every time we go home, we are always reluctant to leave. Now, I want to go, but my mother never takes me. Gradually, after a long time, my mother took me, and I felt very strange. I always don't want to go. I want to cry whenever I go. ...

After this Mid-Autumn Festival, my feeling is that life, separation, gathering and parting can't stop our yearning and expectation for this day. The moon is in the sky and the night is like day. There is always a little care and blessing flowing into my heart. Mid-Autumn Festival is a happy day for our family, a day when we miss our loved ones, and an indelible day for us! Here, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
