It is a traditional habit in China to protect people's safety to prohibit going out at night during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Traditionally, on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, all family members have to spend the night at home instead of going out, so as to stay away from fierce injuries and the spread of disasters and spend a safe and peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival together.
In addition, people generally keep the custom of "turning off the lights" on Mid-Autumn Festival night, because it is said that strange monsters will haunt them on Mid-Autumn Festival night and want to run away. In order not to disturb them, people should avoid the lights that break the silence to prevent strange monsters from appearing.
In addition, on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, family members put black notes on the door gods, which is conducive to peace at night and advocates peace and stability, while destruction and disturbance will be regarded as evil deeds, so as not to cause unhappiness and bring disaster to God.
These customs of Mid-Autumn Festival can not only provide us with necessary protection today, but also let us experience the mystery and beauty of ancient civilization.
