Introduction:

As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was the custom of sacrificing to the sun at the spring equinox, to the earth at the summer solstice, to the moon at the autumn equinox, and to the sky at the winter solstice, and the places where the sacrifices were made were known as the Altar of the Sun, the Altar of the Earth, the Altar of the Moon, and the Altar of the Sky, respectively. However, it is generally believed that the moon festival will look forward to a more complete moon, and the date of the autumn equinox is different every year, there is not necessarily a full moon, so gradually fixed the time of the moon festival on the 15th day of the 8th month.

Anciently, the spring and autumn equinoxes of February and August welcomed the heat and cold, and thus the sacrifice of the sun and moon became a rite of passage for a long time. Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival to play with the moon has become a literati fashion. Song Dynasty, to the moon as the center of the Mid-Autumn Festival custom formation, Mid-Autumn Festival has become a festival of secular joy. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the literati fashion centered on moon viewing weakened, the utilitarian aspirations of the general public as well as secular sentiments became the center, and Mid-Autumn Festival became an important node in the people's time and life.
