Why is the Mid-Autumn Festival different every year?

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the traditional festivals, especially on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.

The time recorded in the new calendar is different from that recorded in the lunar calendar, because sometimes there are leap months in the lunar calendar, so there is an extra month.

The days of the new calendar are generally fixed, either 365 days or 366 days, which is relatively fixed.

So this has caused the new calendar time of Mid-Autumn Festival to be different every year.

But it doesn't matter much, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is still based on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month. Do you want to give a gift to your mother-in-law during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

I think the Mid-Autumn Festival can still bring some gifts to my mother-in-law's house, whether she goes back or not. Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the traditional festivals and a reunion festival, sending a small gift at this time can also express my gratitude to my mother-in-law for her holiday wishes and hard work at ordinary times.

I think if I give my mother-in-law a gift in the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can send some moon cakes and seasonal fruits. Furthermore, you can bring some nutrients and health products to the elderly.

If the in-laws have brothers and sisters of the same age, they can also give some small gifts suitable for young people. It's not too expensive, but it's sincere enough to make everyone feel concerned and cared for. The Festival Significance of Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, Moonlight Birthday, Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Moon Festival, Moon Festival and Reunion Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China.

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the worship of the autumn moon in ancient times.

At first, the festival of offering sacrifices to the moon was held on the autumnal equinox day in 24 solar terms, which was a branch calendar, and later it was moved to August 15 in the summer calendar (lunar calendar). In some places, the Mid-Autumn Festival is set on August 16 in the summer calendar.

Since ancient times, Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes, playing with lanterns, enjoying osmanthus, drinking osmanthus wine, etc., which have been passed down to this day and last forever.
