The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the traditional folk festivals in my country. There are many theories about the origin of the festival. One theory is that it originated from the sacrificial activities of ancient emperors. The "Book of Rites" records: "The emperor faces the sun in spring and the moon in autumn." The eclipse moon is a sacrifice to the moon, which shows that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, emperors had begun to worship and worship the moon. Later, noble officials and literati also followed suit, and gradually spread to the people.

Secondly, the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival is related to agricultural production. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the crops are basically mature, and farmers celebrate the harvest with the Mid-Autumn Festival as a festival. Some historians also pointed out that the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival should be August 15th, the 13th year of Daye in the late Sui Dynasty. On this day, Tang Jun Pei Ji saw the moon and successfully invented moon cakes as military rations, successfully solving the problem of insufficient food in the army. Since then, people have designated August 15th as the Mid-Autumn Festival to commemorate this event.

Stories and legends about the Mid-Autumn Festival: Xuanzong traveled to the moon

It is said that Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Shen Tianshi and Taoist Hongdu were looking at the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Suddenly Xuanzong wanted to visit the Moon Palace, so the Tianshi did it , the three of them walked up to the blue clouds together and roamed the moon palace. However, the palace is heavily guarded and cannot be entered. The only option is to overlook the Chang'an Imperial City from outside. On this occasion, I suddenly heard bursts of fairy sounds, which were so clear and beautiful, so mesmerizing! Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had always been familiar with the music, so he kept it in his heart. This is exactly what "this song should only exist in heaven, and how many times can it be heard in the human world!" Later, Xuanzong recalled the music and singing of Xian'e in the Moon Palace, and composed and choreographed the music himself. This is the famous "Nancy Dress and Feather Clothes Song" in history.

The term "National Day" originally refers to national celebrations and was first seen in the Western Jin Dynasty. Lu Ji, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, recorded in his article "On the Five Classes of Princes" that "On National Day, we only enjoy its benefits, and we should not worry about its harm." In my country's feudal era, the most important national celebrations were the emperor's enthronement and birthday. wait. Although most countries have similar anniversaries, due to complex political relations, this holiday in some countries cannot be called a National Day. For example, the United States only has Independence Day and no National Day, but the two have the same meaning.
