The origin of the next Yuan Festival is related to Taoism. Taoism has three officials: heaven official, earth official and water official, which means that nine officials in the upper Yuan Dynasty blessed heaven official, seven officials in the middle Yuan Dynasty pardoned sin, and the five senses in the lower Yuan Dynasty relieved water official.

The birth dates of the three officials are the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when God blessed the people, the fifteenth day when the local officials forgave sins, and the fifteenth day when the water officials forgave sins. These three days are called Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and Xiayuan Festival. The next yuan festival is the day when the water official and the emperor of the valley of Ecuador solved Eritrea, commonly known as the next yuan day.

The origin of the festival:

October 15th of the lunar calendar is the "Xiayuan Festival" in ancient China. At this time, it is the harvest season in rural areas. Almost every household in Wujin area uses glutinous rice flour ground from new grain to wrap jiaozi, and vegetarian dishes are stuffed and steamed outside the gate to "fast". In addition, there is an old saying, "In October and a half, I will lead a delegation to Zhai Sanguan".

It turned out that Taoism called it the birthday of the "three officials" (heavenly officials, local officials and water officials), and Taoist people erected Tianzhu outside their homes with yellow flags hanging on it. At night, three sky lanterns are hung on the top of the pole to be the three officials of Tuanzi Village. After the Republic of China, this custom was gradually abandoned, but the people held ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to the dead and burning the treasury in advance on the "Mid-Autumn Festival" on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.
