The Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of the seasonal customs of autumn, and most of the festive elements it contains have ancient origins. The Mid-Autumn Festival has become a colorful and invaluable cultural heritage, with the fullness of the moon signifying the reunion of people, as a token of longing for one's hometown and loved ones, and praying for a good harvest and happiness. Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been characterized by folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, enjoying the moon, eating mooncakes, playing with lanterns, enjoying osmanthus flowers, drinking osmanthus wine, etc., which have been passed down to the present day and are still going on today.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is known as one of the four major traditional festivals in China, together with the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. Influenced by Chinese culture, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival in some countries in East and Southeast Asia, especially for local Chinese, and on May 20, 2006, the State Council listed it in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. Since 2008, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been listed as a national legal holiday.
