First, the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Double Ninth Festival are also called the four traditional festivals for ancestor worship in China. Most people miss their loved ones on this festival and place good wishes for the future. Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Ghost Festival or Orchid Festival, falls on July 15th and 14th of the lunar calendar. It is said that in the Mid-Autumn Festival, ghosts in the underworld will be released. In order to pay homage to ancestors and local officials, the dead will prepare rich sacrifices, burn incense and paper, and worship these ancestors from the underworld.

Taoist Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a religious festival in Taoism, but also a folk festival. At the beginning of Taoism, there were three officials worshipping. The orthodox school believed in the three officials of heaven, earth and water, and was later called the Three Officials Emperor. They each have their own responsibilities. Celestial officials bless Shangyuan, local officials forgive the sins of the Central Plains, and water officials call Xia Yuan Jieyi. The Taoist book says that in these three days, the three officials should correct the crimes committed on earth in order to decide rewards and punishments.

Among them, the local officials are in charge of the underworld, and of course the focus of the inspection is on ghosts. So on this day, all ghosts will leave the underworld and be examined. On this day, Doumen held a routine ceremony to celebrate the birthday of local officials. At the same time, believers also funded fasting, prayed for the blessing of their ancestors, and asked local officials to forgive their sins and ascend to heaven as soon as possible. This is the main reason why Mid-Autumn Festival has become a folk festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a product of local culture. It existed in Liang Wudi and matured in the Song Dynasty. The official of the Tang Dynasty advocated formalizing the three-day festival of Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Xia Yuan, and made it a three-day festival to pray for Emperor Xuanyuan (Tai Shang Lao Jun and Lao Zi). The emperor led hundreds of officials to attend the festival ceremony. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, it has become a folk festival.

Second, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Every July, people hold a grand celebration, and all over the country, whether in commercial areas or residential areas, you can see red paper celebrating the Central Plains, decorated with lanterns and set up altars to reward the gods. Purdue ceremony is the most important part of Mid-Autumn Festival, which can be roughly divided into street sacrifice, city sacrifice and temple fair.

Pudu, which is dominated by blocks, is called "street Pupu", Pudu, which is dominated by markets, is called "city Pupu", and Pudu, which is dominated by temple abbots, is called "temple Pupu". Purdue is usually centered on temples, and nearby residents go to temples with sacrifices. Many people also put sacrificial tables in front of their homes, display sacrifices and hang paper lanterns under the eaves.

Sacrificing ancestors is one of the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on July 15th of the lunar calendar, so it is called "July 30" for short. However, the worship ceremony is usually held in the evening before the end of July, and is not limited to a specific day. Usually, you should worship your ancestors and generally don't move their tablets. When the time comes to sacrifice, we should invite out the ancestral tablets one by one and respectfully put them on a special table for worship.

Then burn incense in front of each ancestor's memorial tablet, and serve tea and rice three times a day in the morning, noon and coma until July 30. If there is a portrait of your ancestors, please come out and hang it. When worshipping, kowtow to each ancestor in the order of seniority and seniority, and pray silently for their peace and happiness.

Choose to leave it dark when sending it back. Generally, the head of the family and the men in the family take firecrackers, paper money and incense sticks, find a quiet river or pond, and lay a circle with lime to mark the restricted area. Then pour some water and rice in the circle, burn some paper money and clothes, burn paint, set off firecrackers, and send our ancestors on their way back to the "underworld"

Now, the custom of ancestor worship in Mid-Autumn Festival has been simplified, and most areas begin to hold ancestor worship ceremonies on the evening of the 15th or 14th day of the seventh lunar month. The ancestor worship ceremony has also been simplified, gradually eliminating the superstitious color and retaining the memorial form as a memory and commemoration of the ancestors.

First, the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival

Every year, July 15 of the lunar calendar is the Mid-Autumn Festival, also called Ghost Festival, or Magnolia Festival, which is a big festival to worship ghosts and gods. About the origin of the Ghost Festival: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a filial daughter. After her mother died, she went to the underworld and was imprisoned in a cell. She was tortured by eighteen layers of hell. Seeing her mother's suffering, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha had an affair on July 15th, and let the boy guarding the cell secretly open the cell door and let her out. Who knows it doesn't matter if she opens the cell door?

As soon as the children in the cell swarmed out, they ran to the world to harm the people, so there was a saying that "in July and a half, ghosts ran everywhere." Those ghosts who run back to their hometown ask for money from home, let them go back to life and get through their joints, hoping to support their lives as soon as possible. Later, people designated this day as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Second, the legend of Mid-Autumn Festival

1. Manglietia saved her mother.

The layman's name in Manglietia is Rob, a widowed mother, Mrs. Qingti, who is stingy and good at killing people. However, Rob is very kind. He always does good deeds and respects the three treasures. One day, when he was going out to do business, he told his mother that he would divide the family money into three parts, one for himself, one for his mother and one for charity at home. Unexpectedly, since Rob left home, Mrs. Qingti has killed chickens and geese every day. As soon as the monk came to the door, he ordered his servant to beat him out with a stick, and even let the dog chase the beggar.

Because of her evil deeds, she was punished for falling into nasal hell after her death and suffering day and night. Rob was very sad after his mother died. He thought that becoming a monk could repay his mother's kindness, so he became famous by worshipping Buddha as a teacher. A few years later, I became the first magical power, surpassing Lohan. Mu Lian wanted to know where his parents were born after their death, but he found his mother in a nose hell. In order to save his mother, he went to hell himself

I saw the scene of hell: people who suffer in it are dying every day. Or sword tree, or iron plow tongue, or copper juice pouring mouth, or hot iron fire pill swallowing. Or holding a copper pillar, charming and not lazy. EM visited Zhang Wei, and the jailer finally came to copy. Boiling iron pot soup is painful.

After Mulian turned to Tathagata for help, he had to rescue his mother from hell and reincarnate as a dog in the city. Forty-nine days after Mulian laid the Dojo, his mother was able to ascend to heaven.

Burning paper money

It is said that after Cai Lun invented papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, his business was booming and he earned a lot of money. Brother Cai Mo and sister-in-law Hui Niang are envious. Huiniang wants Cai Mo to learn papermaking from Cai Lun. But Cai Mo's perseverance was not enough, and he hastily opened his own paper shop before he got home. As a result, the quality of the paper made is poor, and no one cares. Two couples are worried about a room full of paper.

Finally, Huiniang came up with a clever plan, attached it to Cai Mo's ear and taught it again.

That night, the neighbor suddenly heard the voice of crying from Cai Mo's house. Everyone rushed over to ask, only to know that Huiniang died suddenly last night. The next morning, Cai Mo cried her eyes out in front of Hui Niang's coffin in front of her neighbors. Burning paper in tears.

Burning and burning, I suddenly heard something in the coffin. After a while, I heard Huiniang's voice calling inside: "Open the door, open the door quickly, I'm back". Everyone was stunned and finally got up the courage to open the coffin.

Huiniang jumped out and told her neighbors that she had gone to the underworld after her death, and the king of hell made her suffer. Because Cai Mo burned a lot of paper money for her, all the children scrambled to push her. She gave Yan the money again and Yan asked her to come back.

Cai Mo deliberately asked, "I didn't send you money?" Huiniang pointed to the burning fire and said, "That's money! The underworld uses paper as money. " Hearing this, Cai Mo immediately went to hold two bundles of paper to burn, saying that this would make the parents in the underworld suffer less. Neighbors saw this and found that paper money was so useful, so everyone paid for paper made by Cai Mo. A few days after the news spread, all the newspapers of Cai Mohist School were sold out.

As Huiniang returns to Yang on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, people will burn incense and paper for their ancestors on this day. This custom has been passed down to this day.

2. Burn a piece of yellow paper after offering to the land god who looks after the grave. This custom is called "worship to the earth god", and it is also called "worship to the grave god". To thank him for guarding the cemetery all the year round and protecting the lives of his ancestors.

When the incense burns to half a column, burn the paper money and clothes prepared in advance on the graves of ancestors. And leave some money and things to burn on other graves, lest other ghosts rob the ancestors' graves for money and clothes after the grave sweepers leave.

When the incense sticks are burnt out, the offerings are removed and scattered around the cemetery. This custom is called "worshipping the four sides". It means throwing food at distant relatives and neighbors who went to the grave to prevent them from grabbing food on the graves of their ancestors after the grave sweeper left.

What do you need to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival ancestor worship?

1. Incense: Incense is the most important thing to sweep the grave. We should not only burn incense at the present time of our ancestors, but also give incense to the land of the mountain god who is in charge of the cemetery, and pray that the land of the mountain god will bless the cemetery and the soul of our ancestors.

2. Paper money: Paper money is to be burned to the dead, so that they can spend money in the underworld and must be burned clean.

3, vegetarian wine: the process of sweeping the grave is equivalent to bringing food to the ancestors to celebrate the festival, so to give the ancestors wine, there must be wine to sweep the grave.

4, fruit snacks: fruits are suitable for seasonal fruits everywhere, and there are no special requirements; Dim sum may depend on the specific situation.

5. Meals: It is best to eat what your ancestors liked before their death. Many people will tell their children about their ancestors' deeds while paying homage to them, so that the next generation will not forget their ancestors.

6. Flowers: Chrysanthemum has the meaning of missing and nostalgia. It is generally appropriate to go to the grave on Qingming Festival, especially white chrysanthemums.

7. "Baggage": Baggage, that is, things brought to the deceased by grave sweepers (family members of the deceased), is named after pasting a big bag with white paper, which contains banknotes, gold and silver, as well as "gold ingots", "clothes" and "furniture" made of various papers.

Mid-Autumn Festival custom food

1, eat rice noodles

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a custom of eating Seto powder in Dongguan, which is almost common in Dongguan. Of course, different areas eat Seto powder in different ways. Seto powder, the traditional food of Dongguan birthday party, means long life.

The most famous thing in Dongguan is roast goose. The most exquisite thing is a delicious soup, which needs to be cooked with whole chicken, large pieces of meat and bones, and many special herbs and spices. When eating, blanch Seto flour in hot water, put it in a bowl, then add a tablespoon of broth, and spread a layer of crispy roast goose on the flour.

Step 2 steam sheep

In the rural areas of old Beijing and North China, it is popular for old men to send live sheep to their little nephews on July 15th. Legend has it that this custom is related to the legend that agarwood splits the mountain to save mother. After chopping the mountain to save his mother, agarwood wanted to kill Uncle Jiro who abused his mother. In order to rebuild the friendship between brother and sister and uncle and nephew, Jiro gives a pair of live sheep to Aquilaria every July 15. It is said that this is a homonym for taking the surname of Erlang and Aquilaria's mother "Yang" to reunite the two families. From then on, the folk left the custom of sending live sheep to my uncle, and later it gradually evolved into sending a sheep to the other side.

Another way of saying this folk custom is that the mother molded a pair of sheep with white flour for her married daughter. Of course, it should be steamed and the head of the sheep should be wrapped in red cloth. The bride's family will form a small team to send sheep to the new uncle's house. The new uncle will cut the sheep and hang the cut first piece in the living room with red rope. This "noodle mutton" can't be taken down until July 15 of the following year, when a new noodle mutton is delivered.

Among them, it is emphasized that "the old sheep see the new sheep, and there is more than one year." After shearing the sheep, the new son-in-law eats the sheep's head, the married daughter eats the sheep's feet, and the rest is distributed to the neighbors of the man's elders to show harmony and happiness.

Step 3 eat steamed stuffed bun with flowers

Before July 15th, dough sculpture activities were very popular among folk women, especially in northern Shanxi. A steamed stuffed bun shop, neighbors came to help. First of all, according to the actual number of families, give everyone a big bag first.

The steamed stuffed bun for the younger generation should be kneaded into a flat shape, which is called a noodle sheep. I hope that the younger generation will not forget the kindness of their parents. For the older generation of flower buns, it is necessary to shape the image of adults, indicating that children and grandchildren are full and live a long life; Steamed buns for peers should be shaped like fish, called noodle fish, which means more than one year.
