The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" originated from Zhou Li, and the Book of Rites recorded that "the son of heaven is in the spring and the sun is shining, and the autumn is the moon. Asahi is facing the DPRK, and the evening is in the evening. " Thus, in the Zhou Dynasty, there was already a ritual activity that the son of heaven went to Yue Bai on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. "Mid-Autumn Festival" began in the early years of the Tang Dynasty and prevailed in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become one of the traditional festivals in China with the same reputation as "Spring Festival".
