With New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Chung Yeung Festival, it is a traditional ancestor worship festival in China, and it is also a traditional cultural festival popular in various countries in the Chinese character cultural circle. The Mid-Autumn Festival has the custom of setting off river lanterns and burning paper ingots.
Mid-Autumn Festival can be said to be a fusion of Buddhism, Taoism and secularism. Its emergence can be traced back to the ancient festival and the worship of ancestors. In ancient times, due to the limited production capacity and understanding level, people often relied on the blessing of the gods for the harvest of farming. Ancestors are worshipped in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but "autumn taste" is very important among them. Autumn is the harvest season. People hold ceremonies to offer sacrifices to the ancestors' souls, offer the best seasonal products to the gods first, and then taste the fruits of these labors themselves, and pray for a good harvest in the coming year.
Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and Xiayuan Festival, collectively called "Sanyuan", are traditional festivals in China. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is called Shangyuan Festival, which celebrates Yuanxiao and has existed since ancient times. On July 15th, it was called the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was dedicated to ancestors. October 15th, called the Next Yuan Festival, is a cold food to commemorate the sages. July 15th is the first full moon night after autumn. At this time, the heat has just faded, the golden wind is creeping in, and the night is as cool as water.
