In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional festival in China. Among many traditional festivals, Mid-Autumn Festival is the second largest festival after Spring Festival. This festival has a long history and contains the meaning of happiness and reunion. It is a festival that people in China attach great importance to. So I decided to draw a mind map for the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, and talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival from four aspects: overview, legend, custom and literature.

Highlights of the guide map: the central map is slightly smaller than the column, and each branch is drawn together with the central map, making the branch a part of the central map. There is a feeling of integration.

Center map: The important elements related to the Mid-Autumn Festival constitute the center map: the moon, rabbits, moon cakes (and the controversial Wuren moon cakes), plum blossoms and auspicious clouds that add festive atmosphere.

The elements in the central picture don't have too many meanings. When they are combined, people can see at a glance that this is a guide picture related to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The first branch: This branch tells how the Mid-Autumn Festival came into being, why it came into being and how it developed. It should be said that this part is the most basic content of Mid-Autumn Festival, and as a traditional festival, we should know it best.

The second branch: most traditional festivals have many beautiful legends, which make this festival full of mystery and infinite reverie, and Mid-Autumn Festival is no exception.

About the Mid-Autumn Festival, the most inspiring story is the story of Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising. A piece of moon cake sent a message, overthrowing the rule of the Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop and pushing Zhu Yuanzhang to sit on the throne of the emperor. I guess Zhu Yuanzhang must have relied on this story to set the Mid-Autumn Festival as one of the most important festivals at that time, and built a group through festivals to stabilize the country. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival will prevail in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

As for the story of Chang 'e and Hou Yi, it is full of romance.

The third branch: the most interesting part is the third part, and all the related eating, drinking and having fun belong to this part. Sacrificing the moon, enjoying the moon, eating the moon and playing with the moon, in fact, the ancients are quite good at playing. Many customs have been passed down to now and are still going on, which shows that they are really popular.

The fourth branch: whenever there is an important festival, there will be someone who will recite poems and write articles for it. Throughout ancient and modern times, there are countless writers who wrote the Mid-Autumn Festival. Several well-known poems were selected and included in the map. In fact, what I personally know best is the picture book part, which tells the Mid-Autumn Festival for children. Of course, the picture book is the first choice, and there are many stories about the moon in the picture book. There is no way, who makes the moon itself so gentle and mysterious?

Some songs seem to be old songs, but there seems to be no good songs about the moon or Mid-Autumn Festival in recent years. In fact, old songs are really good to listen to.
