What are the origins of Mid-Autumn Festival and ancient poems?

Ancient emperors had the ritual of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. As early as Zhou Li, there was a record of the word "Mid-Autumn Festival".

Later, aristocratic scholars followed suit. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, they watch and worship the bright and round moon in the sky and place their feelings on it. This custom spread to the people and formed a traditional activity.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that people paid more attention to this custom of offering sacrifices to the moon, and the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. Emperor Taizong recorded the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was as famous as New Year's Day and became one of the major festivals in China.

Classical poetry

1, Mid-Autumn Stone

The twilight clouds are cold, and the silver-haired people silently turn to the tracts.

If you don't meet a good night in this life, where will you see the bright moon next year?

2. Misson Fei in Mid-Autumn Festival

Like Huaihai's eyes, the long sea is as white as silver, and millions of rainbow-like lights are pregnant with pearl oysters. If there is no labor in the sky, the osmanthus tree will grow long and break the moon.

3. Tang Yuxi's Playing with the Moon on August 15th.

Tonight the sky will wash the world again. Go to Qiu Lai in summer.

The stars are shining and the breeze is bright. What can change the human world is Yujing in You Ran.

4. jathyapple, August 15, Tang Du Fu.

The full moon flies in the mirror and returns to the heart to fold the sword. Turn the tent and travel far, climb the laurel and ascend to heaven.

The waterway is suspected of frost and snow, and the forest is covered with feathers. At this time, I look forward to the white rabbit, and I want to count the autumnal equinox.

5, "Looking at the Moon in the Pavilion on the 15th of August" Tang Bai Juyi

On the evening of August 15 last year, next to the apricot garden by Qujiang Pool. On the night of August 15 this year, in front of Songpu Shatou Water Hall.

Where is the hometown in the northwest and the full moon in the southeast. Yesterday, the wind blew and no one would meet. Tonight, the light is as clear as usual.
