The historical origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival:

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Orchid Festival, is one of the traditional folk festivals in China. Its historical origin can be traced back to the Buddhist tradition and Taoist belief in ancient China. According to legend, the Mid-Yuan Festival originated from the Buddhist Bonne Festival. The Bonin Festival is an important festival in Buddhism, which is used to worship ancestors and the dead.

According to the legend, Mu Zhilian, a disciple of the Buddha, found that his mother had fallen into evil ways and suffered greatly while practicing. In order to save his mother, Mu Jianlian asked the Buddha for advice. The Buddha told him that on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, he could save them by supporting monks and giving alms to the dead. Mu Jianlian acted according to the instructions of the Buddha, and his mother was freed. This day also became the origin of the Bonin Festival.

In China's Taoist beliefs, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also of great significance. Taoism believes that the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the peak of yin qi, and ghosts will come out to wander, so people should hold various ceremonies to sacrifice and appease ghosts to avoid disasters and bad luck. Taoist Mid-Autumn Festival customs mainly include offering sacrifices to ancestors and the dead, setting off river lanterns and burning paper money.

With the passage of time, the Mid-Autumn Festival has gradually integrated the elements of Buddhism and Taoism and become a comprehensive folk festival. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people will offer sacrifices to ancestors and the dead, hold various blessing ceremonies, and hold lion dances, dragon dances, fireworks and other celebrations.
