According to the China lunar calendar, August is the second month of autumn, which was called Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times. Therefore, it is called Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as autumn season, August Festival, August Half Day, Moon Festival and Moon Festival, because the moon is complete on this day, it symbolizes reunion and is also known as the Reunion Festival.
origin
The word Mid-Autumn Festival first appeared in Zhou Li. The Book of Rites and the Moon Order said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival moon nourishes aging and follows the porridge diet." But it didn't say which day in August.
After the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. Legend has it that Yang Guifei sleepwalked in the Moon Palace and got colorful feathers, and the folk custom of Mid-Autumn Festival became popular. It is generally believed that the Mid-Autumn Festival began to prevail in the Song Dynasty, and by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become a major traditional festival in China.
In the legend of Mid-Autumn Festival, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's story is the most famous.
The Goddess Chang's fly to the moon
There are several versions of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon among the people, and the following is one of them:
It is said that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky. Hou Yi, a hero with infinite strength, shot down nine suns. The tenth sun will rise and set on time to benefit the people. Later, Hou Yi married Chang 'e again.
One day, Hou Yi got a pack of elixirs. As long as he takes the elixir, he can live forever and ascend to heaven. After returning home, Hou Yi gave Chang 'e the elixir of life.
Unexpectedly, Hou Yi's apprentice Meng Peng wanted to steal the elixir of life. He sneaked into Chang 'e's room while Hou Yi was away and forced her to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e refused, so she swallowed all the elixirs, then became a fairy and flew to the moon palace.

On that day, people can stay at home and drink beer instead of watching the moon and watching TV programs.

When they heard about the festival, they only knew that they didn't have to go to work that day.
Mid-autumn poetry
Many ancient poets wrote poems in praise of Mid-Autumn Festival.
When was the most famous poem "Water Turning to Yue Ming" written by Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty?
When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know the palace in the sky, and I don't know the month and time. I'm willing to ride the wind to the sky, I'm afraid I can't stand the cold for nine days in a pavilion of fine jade. Dance to find the shadow, what is it like! The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. The moon should not have any resentment against people. Why is it round when people are gone? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away.
Wax boiling refers to the behavior of playing with fire during the Mid-Autumn Festival, using moon cake aluminum cans as utensils and lighting a large number of candles. When the wax liquid burns most violently, it can burn newspapers and other sundries at the same time, and it can also spray water and fire water to stimulate the fire group, thus producing a tall flame. Wax boiling is easy to cause fire. Contact of hot wax liquid with skin may cause third-degree burns.

Put a big incense table with seasonal fruits such as moon cakes, watermelons, apples, plums and grapes, among which moon cakes and watermelons are absolutely indispensable. Watermelon must be cut into lotus shapes.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was quite popular to enjoy and play with the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the Song Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was more popular to enjoy the moon. According to "Dream of Tokyo", "On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, your family is dressing up and the people are fighting for the restaurant to play the moon". On this day, all shops and restaurants in Beijing have to redecorate their facades, tie silk on archways and sell fresh fruits and refined food. The night market is very lively. Many people visit The Upper Terrace, and some wealthy families enjoy the moon in their pavilions and arrange food or family dinners to reunite their children.
After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival remains the same. Many places have formed special customs such as burning incense, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting tower lanterns, putting sky lanterns, walking on the moon and dancing dragons.
Eat moon cakes
People in urban and rural areas of China have the custom of eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival. As the saying goes, "August 15th is full, and Mid-Autumn moon cakes are sweet and fragrant". Moon cakes were originally used to worship the moon god. The word "moon cake" first appeared in Liang Lumeng written by Wu in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, it was just a cake-shaped food like Ling Hua cake. Later, people gradually combined the Mid-Autumn Festival with tasting moon cakes, which symbolized family reunion.

In modern times, there are workshops specializing in making moon cakes, and the production of moon cakes is becoming more and more elaborate, with exquisite fillings and beautiful appearance. There are also various exquisite designs printed on the outside of the moon cakes, such as "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon", "jathyapple of the Galaxy" and "San Tan Yin Yue".

Moon cakes are also used as gifts to send to relatives and friends and to connect feelings.
