The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival:

The festival held by ancient emperors to worship the moon was in autumn, on the 15th, 16th or 17th day of the eighth lunar month, corresponding to the lunar spring festival. . During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qu Yuan, a Chu poet, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River with stones in his arms at Changsha, Nanyue, one of the Five Mountains. During the Tang Dynasty, people set the Moon Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. From then on, this festival coexisted with the stars and the moon.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival became an officially recognized national festival. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month was officially designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival. In literary works, there are seasonal foods such as moon cakes, which are crispy and sweet.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the secular interest in festivals became more and more intense. Today, eating mooncakes has become a must-have custom for celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in all parts of northern and southern China. Moon cakes symbolize reunion, and people regard them as festive food, using them to worship the moon and give them to relatives and friends. In addition to mooncakes, various seasonal fresh and dried fruits are also delicacies on Mid-Autumn Night.

In this festival, no matter where people are, they will try their best to go home to reunite with their loved ones, or at least share this special moment with their distant relatives in various ways. This is why the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Reunion Festival.

This ancient and important festival is full of poetry and cultural connotation. It expresses people's deep attachment and endless hope for family, relatives and a better life.
