Analysis of the names of the Mid-Autumn Festival!The Mid-Autumn Festival has many nicknames. It is also known as: "Autumn Festival", "August Festival", "August Meeting", "Mid-Autumn Festival", "Reunion Festival", "Daughter's Festival", "Moon Festival", "Moon Eve", "Moon Chasing Festival", "Moon Playing Festival", "Moon Worship Festival" and "Correct Moon". The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular among many ethnic groups in China and countries in the Chinese character cultural circle. It falls on the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar. It is named so because it falls exactly in the middle of the three autumn months. Some places also set the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 16th day of the eighth month.Why is the Mid-Autumn Festival called Zhongqiu Festival?In product advertisements, some say "Mid-Autumn Festival", some say "Mid-Autumn Festival", and even some calendars have both ways of writing. Which one is correct, “Mid-Autumn Festival” or “Mid-Autumn Festival”? Or are they all correct? Let’s first take a look at what “Mid-Autumn” and “Mid-Autumn” mean. The ancients used Meng, Bo, Zhong, Shu, and Ji to rank, which are equivalent to the first, second, and third today. Among them, Meng and Bo mean the first; Zhong means the second; Shu and Ji mean "later". The ancients also used Meng, Zhong and Ji when talking about seasons. There are three months in spring. The first month is Mengchun, the second month is Zhongchun, and the third month is Jichun. The first month of autumn is July, the second month of autumn is August, and the last month of autumn is September. The Mid-Autumn Festival refers to the second month of autumn. The festival on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is indeed in the second month of autumn, but this festival is a point in time, not a period of time. This festival is the middle day of autumn, not a month, so it can only be "Mid-Autumn Festival" and not "Mid-Autumn Festival". The "Mid-Autumn Festival" in "Cihai" says: "The fifteenth day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar. It is called this because it is in the middle of autumn." "Zhong" is pronounced zhòng, which indicates order; the "zhong" in "Mid-Autumn Festival" is pronounced zhōng, and this "zhong" indicates position. "Zhong" and "Zhong" are written differently, pronounced differently, and have different meanings. According to the Chinese calendar, the eighth month of the lunar calendar is in the middle of autumn and is the second month of autumn, called "Mid-Autumn". The fifteenth day of the eighth month is in the middle of "Mid-Autumn", so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival".Why is the Mid-Autumn Festival called the August Festival?The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the August Festival. Because the festival falls on August 15th, it is also called the "August Festival" or "Mid-August". The editor believes that August Festival is the most down-to-earth name, which also reflects people’s emphasis on the Mid-Autumn Festival. As long as people talk about festivals in August, they naturally think of the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the local languages of northern China, August Festival is also a frequently used term. Qing Dynasty, Fu Cha Dun Chong's "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji·Mid-Autumn Festival": "The capital city calls the August Festival, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival." Cao Yu's "Beijing People" Act 1: "I think we should lend them some, for the August Festival." |
