According to the lunar calendar in China, August is the second month of autumn, which was called Mid-Autumn in ancient times, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival among the people. On this day, the full moon symbolizes reunion. Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival in Taiwan Province, Hongkong, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Ryukyu.
The word Mid-Autumn Festival was first seen in Zhou Li and Li Ji. "The Moon Order" says: "The Mid-Autumn Moon nurtures aging and follows a gruel diet." It is also mentioned that there are activities in Yue Bai during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is not specified which day is August. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a harvest season for crops. Some folklore experts believe that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival to thank God for celebrating the autumn harvest and at the same time offering sacrifices to the land gods.
As for when the Mid-Autumn Festival is fixed on August 15th, according to historians' research, the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival should be Tang Jun at the end of Sui Dynasty on August 15th, 13th year of Daye, and Pei Ji of Tang Jun successfully invented moon cakes and distributed them to the army as military salaries, and successfully solved the problem of military rations derived from absorbing a large number of anti-Sui rebels. After the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival and prevailed in the Song Dynasty. .
The 13th year of Daye is 6 17. If this time is recorded as the first official Mid-Autumn Festival, this year is already the1397th Mid-Autumn Festival. However, it can also be considered that this year is only the sixth Mid-Autumn Festival, because it has only been listed as a national legal holiday since 2008.
