When is the Mid-Autumn Festival every year?

Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, Moonlight Birthday, Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Moon Festival, Moon Festival and Reunion Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. At first, "Mid-Autumn Festival" was held on the day of "Autumn Equinox" in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, and later it was moved to the fifteenth day of August of the lunar calendar. In some places, the Mid-Autumn Festival is set on August 16 in the summer calendar.

Since ancient times, Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes, playing with lanterns, enjoying osmanthus and drinking osmanthus wine. It has been circulating for a long time. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a colorful and precious cultural heritage. The full moon is a symbol of people's reunion, a sustenance for missing their hometown and relatives, and hopes for a bumper harvest and happiness.

Mid-Autumn Festival is full of reunion people. Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes family reunion. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family will kill chickens and ducks, and the elders at home will also cook all kinds of good dishes. Married daughters will also take their children back to their parents' homes to "send the festival", which is actually to send moon cakes and some gifts to their parents. In the evening, the whole family sit together to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes.

As far as I can remember, I was looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was a child, because I thought the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival was particularly round. In the evening, I could enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes with my family, and I could also eat fruits and some delicious snacks that I had long wanted to eat. The most important thing is to listen to old people telling good stories.
