Mid-Autumn Festival Custom Composition 1: Unforgettable Mid-Autumn Festival Night
Every Mid-Autumn Festival, two essential things are eating moon cakes and enjoying the moon. And these two activities every year are also essential activities in my family.
I still remember that at that time, I didn't understand the custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes, and it came from there. My father once read ancient books and explained to me that eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival was handed down from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, moon cakes were all white, not only round in shape, but also like triangles, flowers and jiaozi. By the Ming Dynasty, they all became round, symbolizing the moon and reunion.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival night this year, as usual, we had a family sitting around the table eating moon cakes. Dad cut each moon cake into six pieces, one for each person. The fillings of moon cakes are very rare. They all have the flavor of shells, blueberries, coffee and cheese ... I think the cheese flavor is the best.
After eating moon cakes, I went downstairs to see the moon. The moon was round and bright, and there was a star beside it. My father told me that it was Jupiter, and this year it was the closest to the earth in 47 years. I also took photos with the moon and Jupiter. I looked at the moon and kept remembering the taste of moon cakes. I thought it was really delicious.
It's really an unforgettable Mid-Autumn Night.
Custom composition 1 of Mid-Autumn Festival: Meeting Mid-Autumn Festival with Poetry
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming again. According to our custom, we will buy a lot of food for moon worshippers.
In the evening, my mother sorted out the food for worship and took out the moon cakes to enjoy the moon while eating. I am already eager to eat this food. I watched the moon show half of its face from the clouds. It was a shy little girl. The moon moved slowly, and the clouds covered it. Suddenly, I felt the sky was empty, and my heart was very dull. For a moment, the moon appeared, as if it were a little girl who went back to dress, brighter and brighter.
On the spur of the moment, I said that I would tell more poems about the moon than anyone else. I pondered for a moment and said, "lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight, sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home." Not to be outdone, my sister replied, "he knows that the dews tonight will be frost, how much brighter the moonlight is at home!." There is a strong hand in the strong, and my father said three sentences in succession: "I don't know the moon when I was a child, so I call it a white jade plate;" The new moon is like a family, and it is colored at the beginning of the sea; The bright moon lifts from the Mountain of Heaven, in an infinite haze of cloud and sea. " Mother saw that the situation was not good, so she bravely met the enemy and said, "how wide the world was, how close the trees to heaven, and how clear in the water the nearness of the moon!; Moonlight in its groves of pine, stones of crystal in its brooks. " Aside, I didn't care to listen to their answers. I racked my brains and thought hard, which made me want to come out. Then I answered, "the moon, grown full now over the sea, the end of the world is * * * at this time; September in Sanqiu, Mid-Autumn Festival in August. " Mom and dad both laughed, and it must have been unexpected that my sister and I were so "rich in vocabulary" this time.
This moon viewing is an eye-opener for me!

Eating moon cakes: there is a custom of eating moon cakes in my hometown during the Mid-Autumn Festival. As the saying goes, "August and 15th are full, and the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes are sweet and fragrant". Moon cakes were originally used as sacrifices to the moon god. The word "moon cakes" first appeared in Wu Zimu's Dream of the Liang Lu in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, it was just a cake-shaped food like Linghua cake. Later, people gradually combined the Mid-Autumn Festival with mooncake tasting, which symbolizes family reunion. It has become the wish of people in their hometown to use the full moon to herald people's reunion and the round cakes to herald people's eternal life. It is also used as a gift to send relatives and friends and contact feelings.
The origin of the Mid-Autumn festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival began in the early years of the Tang Dynasty and 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.
Every year, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional festival in China. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are customs of Yue Bai, enjoying the moon and eating moon cakes.
In fact, in ancient China, emperors had a ritual system of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. As early as in the book "Zhou Li", the word "Mid-Autumn Festival" has been recorded. Later, nobles and scholars followed suit, and in the Mid-Autumn Festival, they watched the worship and placed their feelings in front of a bright and round moon in the sky. In this way, this custom spread to the people and formed a traditional activity. In the Tang Dynasty, people paid more attention to this custom of offering sacrifices to the moon, and the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Mid-Autumn Festival had become one of the major festivals in China, which was as famous as the Spring Festival.
As a legal holiday in China, Mid-Autumn Festival is also an important festival for family reunion. Its influence has spread to Southeast Asia, Japan and other countries. In 2006, Mid-Autumn Festival was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list by the State Council.
