Luna and luna. Since ancient times, in some places in Guangdong, people have the custom of worshipping the moon god (mother moon and moonlight) on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival. In Yue Bai, a big incense table was set up, and the sacrifices included moon cakes, watermelons, apples, red dates, plums and grapes.

Yue Bai is just a general term, which can actually be divided into "offering sacrifices to the moon" and "Yue Bai". Yue Bai is the old star king of Yue Bai (in some areas, he worships the moon star king) and is usually used for personal wishes. It is said that in Yue Bai, some young girls in ancient times always got married on August 15. Sacrificing the moon is always a good way to get married. Autumn has been regarded as a good time for Yue Bai since the Zhou Dynasty. In The Book of Rites, there are days when the emperor is sunny in spring and the moon is in autumn.

Extended data

On the evening of August 15, when the moon appears, an incense table for the moon should be placed. In addition to apples, grapes and other fruits, watermelons and moon cakes should also be placed. Watermelons must be cut into lotus shapes.

In addition, after everything is ready, you should bathe and burn incense and pray to the moon with a very sincere heart. Old people, men, women and children at home should be Yue Bai in turn, and then burn the moonlight paper, cut a piece from each tribute on the table and put it on the ground.
