What are the main contents of the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice?

1. Sacrificing ancestors is to remind us not to forget our roots. The folk custom of ancestor worship has a long history and has been passed down for thousands of years. It is a grand folk activity, a tradition of respecting ancestors' culture, and a reflection of traditional ethics. The custom of ancestor worship on the Mid-Autumn Festival is formed because people believe that ancestors will go home to visit their children and grandchildren in July and a half, so there is a custom of ancestor worship. In ancient times, folk ancestors attached great importance to sacrificial ceremonies, and the sacrificial ceremonies of July Festival were usually held at night. The ancestor worship ceremony of Mid-Autumn Festival caught up with the bumper harvest of crops in early autumn, so this day's sacrifice activity is also called "ancestor worship in autumn harvest", and the younger generation should share the joy of bumper harvest with their ancestors. In short, today's sacrifice is very lively.

2. Lotus lanterns are actually things that exist for blessing. The "Gujiang Lantern Festival", also known as the "Lotus Lantern Festival", is a traditional custom of the Chinese nation, which first evolved from the custom of decorating lanterns on the Lantern Festival. Lotus lanterns usually put lights or candles on the base and let them drift in rivers, lakes and seas. The purpose of putting on lotus lanterns is to pray for blessings, to mourn the dead relatives and to bless the people in this world. Every year on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, when night falls, people who mourn their deceased relatives come to the riverside to light lotus lanterns and throw them into rivers, lakes and seas, hoping to bring people's thoughts and beautiful prayers to the deceased ancestors and pray for peace and happiness! You can buy it on this day and prepare some lamps for your deceased relatives to express your grief.

This is a regional custom. The custom of "jumping sky lanterns" is mainly popular in China, Guangxi and Tiandeng. It is said that every year on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, in Tiandeng, Guangxi, the village head will organize the whole village to queue up. The men, women and children in the village lined up in a delicate formation on a relatively flat field according to the requirements of the principal. One person takes the lead in fighting wooden fish, while the others hold lanterns and dance regularly in the formation of people holding lanterns according to the rhythm, so as to welcome the game of god and expel the epidemic ghosts. However, with the progress of science and the development of the times, the custom of "jumping sky lanterns" has developed from ancient feudal activities to modern folk sports activities.
