The Mid-Autumn Festival began in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and then prevailed in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become one of the traditional festivals in China with the same reputation as the Spring Festival. Influenced by this Chinese culture, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a traditional festival for local Chinese and overseas Chinese in some countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Since ancient times, Mid-Autumn Festival has had customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, enjoying the moon, eating Yue Bai, enjoying osmanthus flowers and drinking osmanthus wine, which have spread to this day and lasted for a long time. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a colorful and precious cultural heritage, with the full moon as a sign of people's reunion, as the sustenance of missing their hometown and their loved ones, and hoping for a bumper harvest and happiness.

There are many opinions about the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival. The word Mid-Autumn Festival was first seen in Zhou Li, and The Book of Rites and the Moon Order said: "The Mid-Autumn Moon nurtures aging and follows a porridge diet."
