In ancient times, how did people in the palace celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?
The most ancient Mid-Autumn Festival scenes were recorded in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was Lin 'an, which is now Hangzhou. It has always been a sacred place for humanities, and the bustling scene is incomparable elsewhere. According to historical records, the Mid-Autumn Festival night, from the royal family to the poor family, has the custom of holding a banquet to enjoy the moon. The banquet in the palace is noble and luxurious with bands and elegant music. Rich and powerful people climb stairs, stroll on porches, drink and sing while feasting. If you are middle class, arrange a family dinner on the terrace of the house to reunite the children for the holidays. As for the poor families, even if they pawn their clothes, they have to buy wine for the holidays. After the banquet in the evening, Lin 'an City ushered in a national carnival night. The business on the street will last until the early morning of the next day, especially the dim sum shop and rouge shop related to the festive atmosphere, which will display all kinds of goods. The history books recorded this scene in a few words, and outlined that "boasting more victories and striving for victory are called' eye-catching'. The lights and candles are gorgeous, and the competition is the end. " Tourists are "dancing in the city and knowing everything".
