Please visit Mr. Shui Mo's website for a more detailed introduction.Brief introduction to the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival!The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival 1: related to agricultural production.Autumn is the season of harvest. The word "autumn" is interpreted as: "autumn is the time when crops mature." During the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, crops and various fruits gradually mature. In order to celebrate the harvest and express their joy, farmers regard the Mid-Autumn Festival as a festival. "Mid-Autumn" means the middle of autumn. The eighth month of the lunar calendar is the middle month of autumn, and the fifteenth day is the middle day of this month, so the Mid-Autumn Festival may be a custom inherited from the ancients' "Autumn Report". The second origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival: It originated from the sacrificial activities of ancient emperors. It is recorded in the Book of Rites: "The emperor worships the sun in the morning in spring and the moon in the evening in autumn." worshiping the moon means offering sacrifices to the moon, which shows that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the emperors had begun to offer sacrifices to the moon. Later, noble officials and scholars also followed suit, and it gradually spread to the people.

Mid-Autumn Festival customs: lighting lanterns On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a custom of lighting lanterns to help the moonlight. Nowadays, people in the Huguang area still have the custom of stacking tiles into a tower and lighting lanterns on the tower. In the Jiangnan area, there is a festival custom of making lantern boats. In modern times, the custom of lighting lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival has become more popular. Zhou Yunjin and He Xiangfei, both modern scholars, wrote in their article “Random Thoughts on Seasonal Events”: “The lantern festival in Guangdong is the most popular, and families make lanterns out of bamboo strips ten days before the festival. Make shapes of fruits, birds, animals, fish, insects, and words like "Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival", then paste colored paper on them and paint them in various colors. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, candles are lit in lanterns tied with ropes to bamboo poles and erected high on the eaves or terraces. Small lanterns are also used to form words or various shapes and hung high up in the house, commonly known as "Tree Mid-Autumn Festival" or "Vertical Mid-Autumn Festival". The lanterns hung by wealthy families could be several meters high, and the family members would gather under the lanterns to drink and have fun. Ordinary people would put up a flagpole and two lanterns, also to have fun. The city is full of lights, like a world of glass. The scale of the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern-lighting custom seems to be second only to the Lantern Festival.
