August of the lunar calendar happens to be the second month of autumn, which is called "Mid-Autumn Festival", and August 15th of the lunar calendar happens to be half a day of autumn, so it is also called "Mid-Autumn Festival". At first, this day was designated as a festival for ancient emperors to sacrifice to the moon, and later it gradually evolved into the Mid-Autumn Festival.
2. the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. Legend has it that Chang 'e flew to the moon after drinking the fairy medicine, and people could not bear to be separated from her and share moon cakes to pin their thoughts on her.
