The origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival are as follows: 1. It evolved from the ancient moon worship.

The ancient calendar divided each season into three months, namely Meng month, Zhong month and Ji month.

The eighth month of the lunar calendar happens to be the second month of autumn, which is called "Mid-Autumn Festival", and the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar happens to be one-half day of autumn, so it is also called "Mid-Autumn Festival".

This day was originally designated as a festival for ancient emperors to worship the moon, and gradually evolved into the Mid-Autumn Festival.

2. Chang'e flies to the moon.

Legend has it that Chang'e flew to the moon after drinking the elixir. People couldn't bear to leave her and shared moon cakes to express their memory.

The ancient autumnal equinox eve moon.

In the Zhou Dynasty, there were activities such as "Welcoming the Cold on Mid-Autumn Night" and "Moon Worshiping at the Autumnal Equinox".

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month was officially designated as the "Mid-Autumn Festival".
