Luna and luna. Since ancient times, in some parts of Guangdong, people have the custom of worshipping the moon god (moon mother and moonlight) on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. In Yue Bai, a big incense table was set up, offering sacrifices such as moon cakes, watermelons, apples, red dates, plums and grapes.

Yue Bai is just a general term, in fact, it can be divided into "offering sacrifices to the moon" and "Yue Bai". Yue Bai is an old star king in Yue Bai (in some areas, worshipping the lunar star king), which is usually used for personal wishes. It is said that some young girls in ancient times always got a good marriage on August 15th in Yue Bai. Sacrificing the moon is always a good way to get married. Since the Zhou Dynasty, autumn has been regarded as a good time to worship the moon. In The Book of Rites, there are days when the emperor is in the spring and the sun is shining, and the moon is falling in the autumn.
