Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, Moonlight Birthday, Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Moon Festival, Moon Festival and Reunion Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the worship of the autumn moon in ancient times. Since ancient times, Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes, watching lanterns, enjoying osmanthus and drinking osmanthus wine. It has been circulating for a long time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times, popularized in the Han Dynasty and shaped in the Tang Dynasty. Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of autumn seasonal customs, most of which have ancient origins. As one of the important customs of folk festivals, offering sacrifices to the moon has gradually evolved into activities such as appreciating and praising the moon. The Mid-Autumn Festival takes the full moon as a symbol of people's reunion, which is based on the yearning for hometown and relatives.
