1. Watch the moon. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, our country has had the custom of admiring the moon since ancient times. The "Book of Rites" records that "autumn twilight and evening moon" means worshiping the moon god. By the Zhou Dynasty, every Mid-Autumn Festival night would be held to welcome the cold and worship the moon. In the Tang Dynasty, admiring and playing with the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival was quite popular. In the Song Dynasty, the custom of admiring the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival became even more popular. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the custom of appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival remained unchanged. In many places, special customs such as burning incense sticks, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting tower lanterns, releasing sky lanterns, walking on the moon, and dancing fire dragons were formed.

2. Eat moon cakes. "Luozhong Jiwen" says that Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty ate mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival and they tasted delicious. He ordered the imperial kitchen to wrap the mooncakes in red silk and give them to the new scholars. This is the earliest record of mooncakes that we can see. By the Song Dynasty, mooncakes had nicknames such as "Lotus Leaf" and "Hibiscus", and their production methods became more refined. After the Song Dynasty, making mooncakes not only paid attention to taste, but also designed patterns related to the legend of the Moon Palace on the cake surface. The pattern on the cake surface was first drawn on paper and then pasted on the cake surface. Later, it was simply pressed on the mooncake with a dough mold.

3. Watch the tide. In ancient times, besides enjoying the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, watching the tide was another Mid-Autumn event in Zhejiang. The custom of watching the tide during the Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history, and it was described in detail in Meicheng's "Qifa" in the Han Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty, the custom of watching tides during the Mid-Autumn Festival became even more popular. There are also records of tide watching in Zhu Tinghuan's "Supplement to the Old Wulin Stories" of the Ming Dynasty and "Mengliang Lu" written by Wu Zimu of the Song Dynasty.
