The Origin and Legend of Mid-Autumn Festival

The ancestor worship festival in July and a half is called "Central Plains Festival".

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from Taoism after the Eastern Han Dynasty (about the Northern Wei Dynasty). Among Taoist immortals, there are heavenly officials, local officials and water officials, which are collectively called "three officials and emperors". They are the representatives sent by the Emperor of Heaven to the world, and they respectively check the merits and demerits of the Emperor of Heaven on the "Three-Yuan Day" to determine rewards and punishments: "Heaven officials are blessed with 15 yuan in the first month, local officials are exempted from punishment in the middle of July 15, and water officials are exempted from punishment in the next yuan on October 15.
