What is the moon culture in China?

When did China people start to pay so much attention to the moon?

Probably from the Western Han Dynasty, the moon has become a carrier for people to express their feelings. Nineteen Flowers Poems contains "The bright moon shines that night, which promotes the weaving of the East Wall. Yuheng refers to Meng Dong, the stars are vivid and the moon is bright, according to my bed. I can't sleep when I am sad, and I am wandering when I am dressed. " It is a quiet and lonely environment set off by the bright moon.

It is precisely because the moon can repose lovesickness that the annual Mid-Autumn Festival is of great significance. Every Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion. Every household is laughing and laughing, and the land of China is peaceful. However, ancient people were often faced with an unpredictable life, with no fixed place to live, and less gathering with their relatives, so when facing the moon, they were more homesick and sad.
