The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival evolved from the autumn festival in ancient times. In the "autumnal equinox" season of the twenty-four solar terms, it is an ancient "Moon Festival", while the Mid-Autumn Festival comes from the traditional "Moon Festival". In traditional culture, the moon and the sun are the same, and these two alternate celestial bodies have become the objects of ancestor worship. The Mid-Autumn Festival celebration originated from the ancient people's sacrifice to the moon, which is the legacy and derivative of the Chinese custom of offering sacrifices to the moon. ?

Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times, popularized in Han Dynasty, shaped in the early years of Tang Dynasty, and prevailed after Song Dynasty. Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of seasonal customs in autumn, and most of the festival customs contained in it have ancient origins. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a colorful and precious cultural heritage, with the full moon as a sign of people's reunion, as the sustenance of missing their hometown and their loved ones, and hoping for a bumper harvest and happiness. ?

It is also said that the Mid-Autumn Festival evolved from the story of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. This story is the most widely circulated. Hou Yi shot out nine suns, and then God gave him a medicine to become immortal. He was reluctant to leave his wife Chang 'e, so he gave it to Chang 'e for safekeeping.

On August 15th, Chang 'e took the fairy medicine and went to the moon. Hou Yi misses Chang 'e, so every year on this day, Chang 'e's favorite food will be placed in the yard, hoping that she can come back for reunion. After that, every year, from generation to generation, it evolved into a festival. Because this day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival are also called the four traditional festivals in China. Influenced by Chinese culture, Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival for overseas Chinese in some countries in East and Southeast Asia, especially local Chinese. On May 2, 26, it was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. Mid-Autumn Festival has been listed as a national legal holiday since 28. Mid-Autumn Festival greetings
