On Moon Culture

China's myth about the moon was first recorded in Shan Hai Jing, Chu Ci, Huai Nan Zi and other ancient books.

There are many legends and fairy tales about the moon. There are stories about the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon and Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-Yuan uprising.

Legend has it that there is a laurel tree 500 feet high on the moon. There was a man named WU GANG in the Han Dynasty who was obsessed with fairy tales and didn't concentrate on reading. He was banished to the moon to cut laurel, but laurel was cut with it, so later generations can see the image of WU GANG cutting laurel endlessly in the middle of the month.

4. China's ancient fantasy poems about the moon.

What are the advantages of luminous? Have another child when you die. What's the use of feeling arrogant and caring for rabbits? (Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci Tian Wen")

What are the characteristics of the moon? It will die and grow again. What are the advantages of keeping a rabbit in your arms? )

In the middle of the moon, there should be clearer light. (Du Fu's "One Hundred and Fifty Nights on the Moon")

Poor tonight, where to go, to relax? Don't ask, I'll see you there, East of Light and Shadow? Is the sky sweaty outside, but the wind is mighty to send the Mid-Autumn Festival? It is like a mirror that flies to the sky, but it won't fall off. Who tied it with an invisible long rope? Chang 'e in the Moon Palace is still unmarried. Who kept her? I heard that the moon swam across the bottom of the sea, but I can't see why. This is an unpredictable thing, but also a worrying and terrible thing. I'm afraid that the whale in the sea will hit the Jade Palace and Qionglou in the Moon Palace. From the bottom of the sea, water won't worry about water, but did rabbits ever learn to swim? If the Tao is intact, why is the cloud gradually like a hook? (Xin Qiji's "Magnolia Slow")

In addition, there are many unique nicknames on the moon, such as Jade Bow, Jade Gui, Jade Plate, Jade Hook, Jade Mirror, Ice Mirror, Guanghan Palace, Chang 'e and Jade Sheep.

Nine, the custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon

The 15th day of the eighth lunar month is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in China and the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival. August 15th is in the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. The ancient calendar in China called August in the middle of autumn "Mid-Autumn Festival", so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Mid-Autumn Festival".

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight is bright. The ancients regarded the full moon as a symbol of reunion, so August 15 was also called "Reunion Festival". Throughout the ages, people often describe "joys and sorrows" as "the moon is full and the moon is absent", and the wanderers living in other places rely on the moon to express their deep affection. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote poems such as "Looking up, it's moonlight, then leaning back, suddenly thinking about hometown", "Knowing that the dew is frost tonight, the moonlight at home is bright!" Du Fu's "Spring Breeze is Green in Jiang Nanan" and Wang Anshi's "When Will the Moon Shine on Me" in the Song Dynasty are all timeless masterpieces.

Mid-Autumn Festival is an ancient festival, and it is an important custom to offer sacrifices and enjoy the moon. Ancient emperors had a social system of offering sacrifices to the moon in spring, and folks also had the custom of offering sacrifices to the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Later, it was more important to enjoy the moon than to sacrifice it, and serious sacrifice turned into light entertainment. The custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, and many poets wrote poems about the moon in their masterpieces. In the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yue Bai's court and folk activities to enjoy the moon were even larger. So far, there are many historical sites in China, such as Yue Bai Altar, Moon Pavilion and Moon Tower.

The "Moon Altar" in Beijing was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and was used for royal sacrifice to the moon. Whenever the moon rises in the Mid-Autumn Festival, a box is set up in the open air, with moon cakes, pomegranates, dates and other fruits on the console table. After Yue Bai, the family sat around the dining table, chatting while eating and enjoying the bright moon. Now, the activities of offering sacrifices to the moon in Yue Bai have been replaced by large-scale and colorful activities of enjoying the moon by the masses.

Although the start date of the custom of offering sacrifices to the moon can't be determined, according to the existing written materials, the Seven Fates of Meicheng in Han Dynasty said, "I will look forward to going to Qujiang in Guangling with the princes in August", which may be the origin of observing the custom of Qiantang chamber after the Mid-Autumn Festival today. Around the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Mid-Autumn Festival began to enjoy the moon, but it did not become a habit. In the Tang Dynasty, it was quite popular to enjoy and play with the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ouyang Zhan said in "Preface to Chang 'an Moon Poetry": "August is in autumn, the season begins in Meng, and the fifteenth day is in the night and the middle of the month. The avenue of the season is cold and hot, and the number of months is round. " It was not until the Song Dynasty that it was officially designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, shops sold new wine, and your family decorated pavilions, while people competed for restaurants to play with the moon, singing thousands of miles away, and moon cakes were listed as the best holiday supplies." Su Dongpo has a beautiful saying that "a small cake is like chewing the moon, with crisp and filling". Mid-Autumn Festival activities in the Southern Song Dynasty are even more colorful: people give each other moon cakes as a sign of reunion. It's night, people enjoy the moon, or go to the lake and the seaside and swim along it. Above Su Causeway, it is no different from stepping on songs together during the day. And cast 10,000 "Little Red" (small sheepskin lamps) on the river, which are as bright as stars and very impressive. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the custom of "appreciating the moon" has become more popular. Many places have also formed special customs such as burning incense, walking on the moon, putting sky lanterns, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting tower lanterns, dancing fire dragons and dragging stones. Today, folk customs such as watching the moon, eating moon cakes, having a reunion dinner, dancing dragons and lighting tower lanterns are still popular.
