Hello everyone!
The Mid Autumn Festival has many customs, such as eating moon cakes, enjoying the moon, drinking osmanthus wine and so on, but do you know the origin of the Mid Autumn Festival?
It is said that Hou Yi went to the mountains to find friends. When he saw the West Queen's mother passing by, he asked the West Queen's mother for a bag of immortal medicine. After returning home, Hou Yi gave the elixir to his wife Chang'e for safekeeping. But he was seen by his brother, Yun Meng, who immediately had a bad heart.
Once Hou Yi took his apprentice to hunt. He pretended to have a stomachache and stayed. As soon as Hou Yi left, Pang Meng broke into the room with a sword and forced Chang'e to hand over the elixir of immortality. Chang'e was forced to retreat. When she retreated to the bed, Chang'e had an idea and swallowed the elixir under her pillow. Just after eating, Chang'e felt that she had become light and floated into the air. Chang'e was worried about her husband, so she flew to the nearest moon and became an immortal.
After Hou Yi came back, he found Chang'e's moon in the sky and said to him, "the moon will round tonight. You make a dough in the northeast corner of the house at night. When midnight, our husband and wife will be reunited." After Hou Yi did so, they were reunited at midnight.
From then on, Hou Yi would make dough every year on August 15, waiting for Chang'e to come back to eat. Later, this custom was inherited and developed into the current Mid Autumn Festival. Eating moon cakes on the Mid Autumn Festival has become a major custom of traditional festivals.
I like the fairy tale of Chang'e running to the moon and the Mid Autumn Festival.
Thank you!
Hello everyone!
The Mid Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is held on the 15th day of August of the lunar calendar every year. August is the second month of autumn.

The word "Mid Autumn Festival" was first seen in Zhou Li. According to the ancient Chinese calendar, there are four seasons in a year, with three months in each season, which are called Meng month, Zhong month and Ji month respectively. Therefore, the second month of autumn is called Zhong autumn. It is also called "Mid Autumn Festival" because August 15 of the lunar calendar is in the middle of August. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the mid autumn festival became a fixed festival《 According to the fifth book of rites and music in Volume 15 of the book of the new Tang Dynasty, "the release of the spring and Mid Autumn Festival was based on King Wenxuan and King Wucheng", and "in the 19th year of Kaiyuan, Taigong Shangfu temple was established to stay with Hou Zhang Liang. In the mid spring and Mid Autumn Festival, there are five offerings, and the system of animal and music is like literature ". According to historical records, the festival period for emperors to worship the moon in ancient times was August 15 of the lunar calendar, which coincided with half of the third Autumn Festival, so it was named "Mid Autumn Festival"; Because this festival is in autumn and August, it is also called "Autumn Festival", "August Festival", "August meeting" and "Mid Autumn Festival"; There are also beliefs and related customs to pray for reunion, so it is also called "reunion day" and "daughter's Day".
Because the main activities of the Mid Autumn Festival are carried out around the "Moon", it is also commonly known as "Moon Festival", "moon Eve", "chasing the Moon Festival", "playing the Moon Festival" and "moon worship Festival"; In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid Autumn Festival was also called "Duan Zhengyue". The prevalence of the mid autumn festival began in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was as famous as new year's day and became one of the main festivals in China. About the origin of the Mid Autumn Festival, there are roughly three kinds: it originated from the ancient worship of the moon, the custom of singing and dancing to find a mate under the moon, and the legacy of the ancient autumn newspaper worship of the earth God.

Hello everyone!
The word Mid Autumn Festival was first seen in Zhou Li. According to the ancient Chinese calendar, August 15 of the lunar calendar is in the middle of August in the autumn of the year, so it is called the Mid Autumn Festival. There are four seasons in a year. Each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji. Because the second month of mid autumn is called mid autumn, the Mid Autumn Festival is also called Mid Autumn Festival. In the early Tang Dynasty, the mid autumn festival became a fixed festival《 The Mid Autumn Festival on August 15 is recorded in the records of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The prevalence of the mid autumn festival began in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was as famous as new year's day and became one of the main festivals in China. This is also the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival.
It is said that the ugly woman of the ancient state of Qi had no salt. She worshipped the moon when she was a child. When she grew up, she entered the palace with good morality, but she was not favored. One year, on August 15, the emperor saw her in the moonlight. He thought she was beautiful and outstanding. Later, he made her queen and worshipped the moon on the Mid Autumn Festival. In the middle of the month, Chang'e is famous for her beauty, so the girl worships the moon and wishes to look like Chang'e and look like the bright moon.
With the continuous development of society, the ancients gave many legends to the moon, from toad to jade rabbit, from Wu Gang cutting GUI to Chang'e running to the moon. Their rich imagination described the mottled scenery of the Moon Palace world. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, poets and poets chanted the moon and the mid moon. The full moon on August 15 became an excellent time to express their feelings. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the officials officially designated August 15 as the Mid Autumn Festival, which was intended to be in the middle of the three autumn festival. At that time, all people will celebrate together. On the night of the Mid Autumn Festival, the bright moon is in the sky and the clear light is scattered all over the earth. People regard the full moon as a symbol of reunion and August 15 as a day for family reunion. Therefore, the Mid Autumn Festival is also known as the reunion festival.
The Mid Autumn Festival has become a major festival of the year, and has an extremely subtle relationship with the imperial examination. In China's feudal society, learning from scholars has always been a major event that the rulers attach great importance to. The three-year Qiuwei Dabi is just scheduled to be held in August. With the combination of scenery and passion, people regard high school candidates as people who break the laurel in the middle of the moon. Every Mid Autumn Festival, we must celebrate Chongqing, which has become an important custom of the people of the whole society. It has been popular throughout the dynasties. The Mid Autumn Festival has gradually become one of the four major festivals in China (Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid Autumn Festival).
