Mid-Autumn Festival why make a wish on the moon brief answer

Mid-Autumn Festival wishing on the moon is because the full moon is very rare in a year, just like wishing on a meteor shower is just folklore, just because it is rare people feel lucky to see it, and then think that maybe wishing on the moon can fulfill their wishes.

The first full moon of summer (the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival) is especially good for making wishes, as is the blue moon. Blue moons are just as rare as full moons that occur twice in a month. In fact, some people call the second full moon of the month a blue moon, and it's impossible to find a blue moon to make a wish on.

There are also some followers who wait for a true blue moon without the slightest doubt.

The moon, which has the appearance of being truly blue, is caused by smoke and ash filling the upper atmosphere after a forest fire or volcanic eruption. You'll want to make a big wish when you see a blue moon - there's no telling when you'll get your next chance to see it.
