The Origin of Walking the Moon in Mid-Autumn Festival

Walking on the moon is a traditional folk custom of Wudi. In the past, women in Jiangsu province dressed up for a trip on Mid-Autumn Festival night, usually playing together under the moon, or visiting each other, or visiting Buddhist temples, or holding cultural activities to step on the moon.

Outside Jiangsu, in some minority areas, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day when young men and women fall in love and form romantic relationships. "Walking on the Moon" and "Stepping on the Moon" are far more romantic in the moonlight than singing in the house and dancing in the pavilion.

Walking on the Moon: A Poem of Genre Painting in Qing Dynasty

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, sweet-scented osmanthus is posted in the temple, and the sisters go to enjoy the moon together.

Cold nights are not too thin, and Lu Yuan only hates embroidered skirts.

Gusu Zhuzhi Ci Qingzhou Zong Tai

The Mid-Autumn Festival * * * burns incense, and the sisters next door raise their hands to invite.

Go to Yue Ming Lane hand in hand, bring a song and return to Cai Yun Bridge.

Yu Yafei, I walk on the moon.

Walk slowly with a jade mirror and stop at the silver plate.

I followed me with the moon wheel and traveled according to my itinerary at night.
