Introduction to Mid-Autumn Festival Legend Composition 1 Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a harvest festival. In the agricultural society of China, farmers always hold grand celebrations during the harvest season. The reason why this festival became a festival is also related to the beautiful myth of "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon".
Legend has it that there were ten suns in the ancient sky, which appeared in turn to illuminate and bring warmth to the earth. But one day, ten suns appeared together, and the crops on the earth were burnt. At this time, a sharpshooter named Hou Yi shot down nine suns, which eliminated the disaster for all people. So people made him king. After Hou Yi proclaimed himself emperor, he indulged in debauchery and killed people at will and became a tyrant. He wants to live forever and go to Kunlun Mountain to steal the elixir of the Queen Mother. His wife Chang 'e was afraid that he would live forever and the people would suffer. She stole the elixir and took it, so she flew to the Moon Palace lightly.
Later, every Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai, ordinary women offered sacrifices to Chang 'e in the Moon Palace.
The traditional food of Mid-Autumn Festival is moon cakes, which are round, symbolizing reunion and reflecting people's good wishes for family reunion. Eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival is said to have started in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang led the Han people to resist the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, agreed on the August 15th uprising, and put a note in the moon cake to convey the news. The custom of eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival spread among the people.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang finally overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and became the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although Manchu people later entered China, people still celebrated this festival, which symbolized the overthrow of alien rule.
Introduction to Mid-Autumn Legend Composition 2 Every Mid-Autumn Festival, we will definitely eat moon cakes, kill grapefruit and enjoy the beautiful "Moon Mother" while barbecuing. Although the moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is also beautiful every month, the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival always feels several times larger than usual, so everyone will enjoy the moon on that day.
When it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first thing that everyone thinks of must be "moon cakes". However, why eat moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival? It turns out that moon cakes have a lot to do with the rise and fall of an ancient country. According to legend, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people could not bear the Mongolian rule, and Zhu Yuanzhang (the founder of the Ming Dynasty) rose up. However, due to the strict control of the Yuan army, the rebels could not deliver the news. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Bowen presented gifts to the rebels. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, they presented cakes to each other with a note that said, "Full moon kills Tatars". This mode of communication made the plan of attacking Yuan successful. This may just be a legend, but this story tells us how wise China's ancestors were and adds a mysterious color to the moon cakes.
Although the moon cakes are delicious, we can observe the moon carefully and enjoy the family happiness, and don't waste this interesting Mid-Autumn Festival!
The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" first appeared in Zhou Li. According to the ancient calendar of China, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month is in the middle of August in autumn, so it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are four seasons in a year, and each season is divided into three parts: Bangladesh, China and Kyrgyzstan. Because the second month of autumn is called Mid-Autumn Festival, it is also called "Mid-Autumn Festival". In the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a record of "telling Shangshu Town about cattle confusion, crossing the river in mid-autumn and evening". It was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. The Book of Emperor Taizong recorded the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. The prevalence of Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty, and it became one of the major festivals in China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is also the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival.
According to legend, the ugly women in ancient Qi had no salt. When she was a child, she was very devout to Yue Bai. When she grew up, she entered the palace with good conduct, but she was not loved. Seeing the moon on August 15th, the son of heaven saw her in the moonlight and thought she was beautiful and outstanding. Later, he made her queen, and Yue Bai came from the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the middle of the moon, Chang 'e is famous for its beauty, so Yue Bai, a young girl, wants to be "like Chang 'e and have a bright moon".
With the continuous development of society, the ancients endowed the moon with many legends, from the toad on the moon to the jade rabbit, from WU GANG to the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, and the rich imagination painted a colorful scene for the moon palace world. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, poets and poets praised the moon and its events, and the full moon on August 15 became an excellent moment to express their feelings. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, August 15 was officially designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was originally intended to be in the middle of Sanqiu, and the whole people would celebrate it then. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon is in the sky, and the light is scattered all over the earth. People regard the full moon as a symbol of reunion, and August 15 is the day for family reunion. Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Reunion Festival".
Mid-Autumn Festival has become an important festival in a year, which has a very subtle relationship with the imperial examination. In China's feudal society, it has always been a major event that rulers attach great importance to. The triennial autumn competition has just been scheduled for August. When scenery and passion are combined, people will regard the person who took the senior three exam as the person who won the laurel in the middle of the month. It has become an important custom of the whole society to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. From generation to generation, Mid-Autumn Festival has gradually become one of the four major festivals in China (Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival).
Introduction to Legend of Mid-Autumn Festival Composition 4 The 15th day of the eighth lunar month is a traditional festival in China. Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day are also called the four traditional festivals of the Han nationality in China. According to historical records, the ancient emperors had the ritual of offering sacrifices to the sun and the moon in spring, and the festival of offering sacrifices to the moon fell on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which coincided with half of Sanqiu, hence the name "Mid-Autumn Festival". Because this festival is in August in autumn, it is also called Autumn Festival, August Festival, August Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. There is also the belief in praying for reunion and related holiday activities, so it is also called "Reunion Festival" and "Daughter's Day". Because the main activities of Mid-Autumn Festival are all around the moon, it is also commonly known as "Moon Festival", "Moon Festival" and "Moon Worship Festival". In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also called "correcting the moon". About the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival, there are roughly three kinds: it originated from the worship of the moon in ancient times, the custom of singing and dancing under the moon to find a spouse, and the custom of paying homage to the land god in ancient autumn.
It is said that eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the broad masses of the people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the ruling class in the Yuan Dynasty and rose up against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang joined forces with various resistance forces to prepare for the uprising. However, the officers and men of the imperial court searched very closely and it was very difficult to pass on the news. Liu Bowen, a military strategist, came up with a plan and ordered his men to hide a note with the words "Uprising on the 15th of August" in the cake, and then sent people to the uprising troops in different places to inform them to respond to the uprising on the 15th of August. On the day of the uprising, all the rebels responded together, such as a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Soon, Xu Da captured the Yuan Dynasty and the uprising was successful. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he quickly sent a message that all the soldiers should have fun with the people in the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival and give the "moon cakes" secretly sent at the time of the war as seasonal cakes to the ministers. Since then, the production of "moon cakes" has become more and more elaborate, and there are more and more varieties, such as dishes, which have also become good gifts. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the custom of eating moon cakes spread among the people.
Introduction to Mid-Autumn Legend Composition 5 Mid-Autumn Festival is coming! The Mid-Autumn Festival is here! On August 15, we ushered in the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. After listening to the words Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family showed a sweet smile.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. Although I can't see the beautiful moon in the sky clearly, I can enjoy delicious moon cakes at home, and I am also very happy.
The family sat by the fish pond. Dad lit a candle on the stone lamp and then turned off the light at home. Then he sat in a stone chair and watched the night scene. The candles in the stone lamp twinkle like many little stars. We just sat in the night sky and watched the beautiful sister Chang 'e and the lovely Jade Rabbit playing together.
This reminds me of a poem by Su Shi: When will there be a bright moon? Asking for wine from heaven, I wonder what year it is tonight. This morning, we were eating moon cakes under the pine tree when we suddenly found a bright moon lying in the fish pond. I don't know when the moon sneaked out. When the fish saw the round moon, they might know that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. They jumped out of the water happily, splashing and flashing silver. This is the fragrance of my sweet-scented osmanthus, floating on my nose. At this time, the hanging flowers fell to the ground, like snow, so beautiful!
Looking up at the starry sky, the moon rises gradually. She is dressed in white gauze, quiet and serene, gentle and generous. Her silver face, through the clouds, left a warm smile. I heard you. The bug seems to be reading the poem "Thinking about a Quiet Night". The water in the pool is rushing, like wishing the moon a happy holiday. The wind is blowing gently, and the fragrance of osmanthus is floating in the direction of the wind.
The beautiful moon is still so bright as water. Eating this moon cake and looking at the moon is like tasting the moon, which makes me feel very happy. Tonight, I not only saw the beautiful moon, but also smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus. The integration of people and scenery is really a "fairyland on earth".
The candle in the stone lamp has been extinguished, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is almost over. I will always remember that on this beautiful night, a full moon like a jade plate walked through the clouds. The faint moonlight shines on the earth. I love the moonlight, and I love the Mid-Autumn Festival more.
It is said that the osmanthus trees in front of the Guanghan Palace on the moon are flourishing, reaching more than 500 feet. There is a man who often cuts down, but every time he finishes cutting, the cut place closes immediately.
For thousands of years, this laurel tree can never be cut down.
It is said that the person who cut down trees was WU GANG, a native of Xihe in Han Dynasty. He used to be a woodcutter on earth, but he didn't like being a woodcutter, so he asked the white-haired fairy to teach him magic, but he didn't learn it for a long time. Later, he asked the white-haired fairy to teach him to wander to the moon because it refused to concentrate on his studies. So the white-haired fairy was very angry and left him in the Moon Palace, saying, "If you are calm. Every time WU GANG cuts it for a period of time, the osmanthus tree will heal automatically. Day after day, year after year, WU GANG's wish to cut down osmanthus trees still hasn't come true. He kept cutting down osmanthus trees, and the osmanthus trees kept healing.
WU GANG in The Worse Gate is close to Chang 'e on the moon, but he often hangs to greet Chang 'e and neglects his duty.
When the Jade Emperor knew about it, he was very angry and sent WU GANG to cut down a big tree called laurel on the moon. If WU GANG hadn't cut down the laurel tree, he wouldn't have returned to the worse gate, and he wouldn't have seen Chang 'e.
WU GANG cut and cut for half a year from winter to summer. When the tree was about to be cut down, the Jade Emperor sent a crow to the osmanthus tree, and with a swish, he took WU GANG's coat hanging on the tree. WU GANG immediately put down his axe and went after the crow. After the clothes were taken back, WU GANG returned to the tree and saw that all the branches and leaves that had been cut were born on the tree again. So, from then on, whenever WU GANG wanted to cut off all the branches and leaves of the osmanthus tree, the crow stood on the tree and shouted "Wow, Wow". As long as WU GANG stops his axe and takes a look, the tree will grow branches again.
In this way, year after year, WU GANG cut down more trees than this moon tree. Only on August 16 every year will a leaf fall from the moon to the ground. Whoever finds this laurel leaf will get inexhaustible gold and silver jewelry.
I believe everyone should have seen or heard the story of Houyi shooting the sun more often when he was very young. Basically, every Mid-Autumn Festival, this story is always sung. Do you know the specific origin of Mid-Autumn Festival? Of course not. Now let me tell you in detail!
There is a legend that I believe everyone knows, and that is the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. Chang 'e was knocked down and turned into a mortal because she got something improper in the sky. She lives with Hou Yi, but every time she thinks that she is going to die, she is very uneasy. So she asked Hou Yi to ask the Queen Mother of the West for some Dan medicine, and Hou Yi set out soon. He broke through the war and finally arrived. Knowing that Hou Yi would come to get the medicine, the Queen Mother of the West handed it to Hou Yi and said to him, "These two pills are elixirs for life. If you eat one with Chang 'e, you will live forever. If a person eats two, he can fly to the sky and live forever. " So Hou Yi took the medicine and went home. He gave it to Chang 'e and asked her to take good care of it. One day, they ate together. He also told Chang 'e what the Queen Mother of the West said in detail. Because Chang 'e wanted to go back to heaven so badly, one day, while Hou Yi was away, Chang 'e swallowed the two medicines together. Just after dinner, his body is light.
Of course, this is just a legend. In fact, the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival should be that the 15th day of August in the old calendar is the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Full Moon Festival, commonly known as the August Festival, which is one of the three traditional folk festivals. August 15th of the lunar calendar is just half of Sanqiu, hence the name "Mid-Autumn Festival".
This is the legend of Mid-Autumn Festival. I believe you must have written it down after listening to my explanation! You can tell more people in the future!

It rained in Mao Mao on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the street was still very busy. In the evening, our family had a reunion dinner together, which was a harmonious scene. The roof of my house is the best place to enjoy the moon. A full moon is embedded in the deep blue sky like a big disc. This scene is so beautiful that people have to daydream. Dad told the legend of Mid-Autumn Festival-the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon.
According to legend, in ancient times, there were ten days in the sky at the same time, and the crops were all sunburned and the people were miserable. A hero named Hou Yi has infinite power. He sympathized with the suffering people, climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, made full use of his divine power, drew his bow, shot down more than nine suns in one breath, and ordered the last one to rise and fall on time for the benefit of the people. Hou Yi married a beautiful wife named Chang 'e. Besides spreading art and hunting, Hou Yi stayed with his wife all day. Many people with lofty ideals came here as apprentices, and people with ulterior motives also mixed in. One day, Hou Yi opened Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek Tao. He happened to meet the Queen Mother and asked her for a pack of elixirs. It is said that taking this medicine can lead to immortality. Hou Yi could not bear to part with his wife, so he gave the medicine to her for collection, only to be seen by a villain who wanted to steal the immortal. When Hou Yi went out, he forced Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e had to take medicine and fly to the moon to become immortal. ...
We talked until late at night before going back to the house to rest. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am particularly happy, because the whole family can get together, eat moon cakes, enjoy the moon and talk about it, which not only makes me happy, but also increases my knowledge.
Okay, let's not talk about it. Let's have dinner! I saw a plate of shrimp, fish, chicken, several dishes and two bottles of drinks.
After dinner, we took out some moon cakes and cut them into five pieces. Moon cakes include red dates, jujube paste and so on. Delicious! After eating moon cakes, we started chatting with Bo Er on the Internet. After a while, dad's cell phone rang again. It turned out to be uncle, and "Zero Zero" called again. Oh, I'm too busy. 10 or so, the family scattered the moon outside the building! A gust of wind blows on my body, and I feel really comfortable!
Introduction to the Legend of Mid-Autumn Festival 9 The 15th day of the eighth lunar month is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival and the second largest festival after the Spring Festival, also known as Mid-Autumn Festival, Reunion Festival and August Festival.
The origin of Mid-Autumn Festival It is said that there were ten suns in the ancient sky, so ordinary people could not live. There is a hero named Hou Yi. He climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain and shot down nine suns in one breath. A man named Feng Meng took Hou Yi as his teacher. Hou Yi's wife's name is Chang 'e. One day, the Queen Mother of the West gave Hou Yi a fairy medicine, which could make her immortal and ascend to heaven. Feng Meng is bent on getting the elixir of life. On August 15, Feng Meng forced Chang 'e to hand it over. Chang 'e didn't want him to take the elixir to live forever and harm others and himself. So Chang 'e swallowed it in one breath and flew to the moon. The villagers miss Chang 'e and put Chang 'e's favorite food in the yard.
Every August 15, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival for members. The custom of Mid-Autumn Festival is family reunion, eating moon cakes in the evening and enjoying the moon.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can't help thinking of a poem: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is full of rain and shine." This matter is ancient and difficult, and I wish people a long time. "
Introduction to Mid-Autumn Legend Composition 10 Endless night sky, white and flawless moon hanging high, how gentle. At the moment, I am accompanied by the Mid-Autumn Festival scenery of "Full Moon Reunion".
The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is coming again! We meet again in the moonlight, barbecue, chat and have fun together ... After eating and drinking, it's time for entertainment. The first one to appear was an interesting father, but he sang uncharacteristically, "The foot of my bed is so bright, can it be frosty already?" ; Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, sinking again, and I suddenly thought of home. " Then it was my turn to play, and I sang a poem, but ... this is an adapted version of "there is such bright light at the foot of my bed, is there frost already?" ; Look up at the moon and bow down to eat moon cakes.
Then, my mother came to the stage to tell a fairy tale about the Mid-Autumn Festival: there was a story in ancient China-there was a little white rabbit in the Moon Palace, and WU GANG was chopping cinnamon every day. WU GANG was punished for doing something wrong. Every time the tree was about to be cut down, it was a strange combination, so he cut the tree there forever. The well-known beautiful Chang 'e lives on the moon. Because she took the hard-won elixir of life, she fled to the "Guanghan Palace" on the moon to live for a long time.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival, seeing the moon hanging high will remind people of this touching story that has been circulating for a long time.
Mid-Autumn Festival is a warm festival, which can not only reunite relatives, but also enjoy the taste of happiness. This is really a pleasure.
A Brief Introduction to the Legend of Mid-Autumn Festival 1 1 Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother and I watched the moon downstairs. The moon was very big and round that day, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, as if to sprinkle a thin layer of frost on the ground. We took some moon cakes and watched them while eating.
"I think this moon cake is like the moon," I said to my mother. Hearing this, my mother replied, "OK, I'll tell you the origin of eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival." I nodded. My mother cleared her throat and said to me loudly, "In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang launched an uprising. In order to avoid the eyes of officers and men, she made a round cake out of flour, hid a note in the cake and sent it to the rebels. Later, they won the battle. To commemorate this event, people make moon cakes on August 15th every year. "
As I listened, I thought of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon again. Once upon a time, there was a god named Hou Yi, who shot down nine suns and made great contributions. The Queen Mother of the West sent him to the world to benefit the people. He married a girl named Chang 'e, who is not only beautiful, but also kind. She often helps the villagers with her husband's prey, and the villagers all praise Hou Yi for marrying a good wife. One day, an old Taoist gave Hou Yi an elixir of life. Hou Yi couldn't bear to eat, so he took it back. A little man heard about it and ran to Houyi's house one night to force Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. In desperation, Chang 'e ate the elixir, as light as a swallow. Reluctant to be separated from her husband, she lives on the moon closest to the earth. Later, people made moon cakes to commemorate Chang 'e.
Ah, this beautiful legend, this beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival!

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, and it is also a festival for family reunion. I must cherish the happy time with my family.
Introduction to Mid-Autumn Festival Legend 13 Mooncakes symbolize reunion and are necessary sacrifices to worship the moon and the land during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The custom of eating moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival was handed down from the end of Yuan Dynasty.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people planned to rise up against the Mongolian rule, but they could not deliver the message. Later, Liu Bowen came up with a plan and spread rumors everywhere, saying that there was a winter plague epidemic, which could be avoided unless every household bought moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. People bought moon cakes and went home, only to find that there was a note hidden inside, which read: "Kill Tartars on Mid-Autumn Festival night and welcome the rebels!" " "So many people rebelled against the rulers, so the custom of eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival stayed.
People in Wuxi usually eat braised rose sugar taro on the morning of Mid-Autumn Festival, which is said to be related to this. According to legend, after Mongolia destroyed the Song Dynasty, the ethnic oppression was deep, and the Han people always wanted to resist. One year, everyone agreed to work together on Mid-Autumn Festival night. In order to get tired of winning, people want to eat braised taro, which symbolizes that the head of "Tatar" fell to the ground. This is the origin of eating sugar taro in Mid-Autumn Festival.
This legend changed in Chaoshan: at that time, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated that every trendy family should live in a Mongolian soldier, with the support of the Han people, to monitor the actions of the Han people, and only three families were allowed to use a kitchen knife. The people hated this, so they took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to eat moon cakes and stuffed the letter of appointment into the stuffing of moon cakes. Chaozhou people's taro is homophonic with "tiger's head" and looks like a human head, so every Mid-Autumn Festival, it is passed down from generation to generation, and it still exists today.
There is a custom of eating taro in Mid-Autumn Festival all over Guangdong, which is said to commemorate the historical story of Tartars being killed at the end of Yuan Dynasty. After killing the Tatars in the Mid-Autumn Festival, they gave their heads to the moon, and later they were replaced by taro. Until now, when Cantonese peel taro, it is also called "peeling ghost skin".
