It is also called Mid-Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, August Festival, Moon Festival, Moon Worship Festival, Daughter's Day or Reunion Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.

Extended data:

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena in ancient times and evolved from the activities of offering sacrifices to the moon. The custom of Mid-Autumn Festival was formed in the early Tang Dynasty and prevailed in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Mid-Autumn Festival was as famous as New Year's Day and became one of the major festivals in China. Influenced by China culture, Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival in some countries in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, especially for overseas Chinese living there.

Since 2008, Mid-Autumn Festival has been listed as a national statutory holiday. The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. On May 20th, 2006, the festival was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

In ancient times, people started a "busy year" in La Worship on the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month or on the sacrificial stove, and the New Year didn't end until January 19. In modern times, people set the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month, but it generally doesn't end until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month (Lantern Festival).

The Spring Festival is a joyful and peaceful festival, a day for family and friends to get together, and a bond for people to deepen their feelings. Holiday greetings convey family ethics between relatives and villages, which is of great significance for the survival and development of the Spring Festival.
