Origin of the Mid-Autumn festival
Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Mid-Autumn Festival, Reunion Festival and August Festival, is one of the traditional festivals in China. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the worship of the moon in autumn in ancient times.
The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first seen in Zhou Li. According to the ancient Chinese calendar, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month is in the middle of August in autumn, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival". There are four seasons in a year, and each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the second month in mid-autumn is called Mid-autumn.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was popularized in the Han Dynasty, shaped in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and prevailed after the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival.
It is a synthesis of seasonal customs in autumn, and most of the festival customs included have ancient origins. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a colorful and precious cultural heritage, with the full moon as a sign of people's reunion, as the sustenance of missing their hometown and their loved ones, and hoping for a bumper harvest and happiness. ?

Mid-autumn festival poems
? The Mid-Autumn Festival of Bingchen, the Song of Water Tune
? (Song) Su Shi
When did the moon begin to appear? I fetch the wine glass from afar. I do not know the palace in heaven, and what month and when. I would like to take the royal breeze back to the sky, and I am afraid that in the buildings of fine jade, it cannot withstand the cold of nine days. Dance to find out what shadows are like on earth.
The moon turned scarlet pavilion, hung low on the carved windows, according to the sleepy self. The moon should not have any resentment against people, why is it that the people are only round when they leave? Men have sorrow and joy and they part and meet again. The moon dims or shines and it waxes or wanes. Nothing is perfect, not even in the old days. I hope people will live for a long time, and they will be beautiful for thousands of miles.
