Appreciating the Moon: Tracing back to the origin of appreciating the Moon in Mid-Autumn Festival, according to "Preface to Chang 'an Playing Moon Poems": "Autumn is in time, then summer is in winter; August is in autumn, and the season begins and ends in Meng; On the fifteenth night, in the middle of the month. "If you take it from Heaven, it will be cold and hot, and if you take it from the number of months, it will be round."

In other words, August 15th is in the middle of August in autumn, hence the name "Mid-Autumn Festival". Why do people love the Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon? There is a poem saying: "There is a bright moon at four o'clock, so why do you like the Mid-Autumn Festival? It is advisable to hang the highest head of Yuyu; Release Bai Hao thousands of feet, scattered into too empty color. "When everything comes into my eyes, the stars avoid glory, and the wind dew helps the quiet."

Eating moon cakes: It is said that eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the people in the Central Plains could not bear the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang and various rebel forces planned to revolt on August 15th. In order to convey the news, Liu Bowen came up with a way to put a note with the words "Killing Tartars on August 15th" in the moon cakes and give each other moon cakes to convey the news.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew Mongolian rule and established the Ming Dynasty. He also rewarded his subordinates with moon cakes to celebrate, and the custom of eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival slowly spread among the people.
