Getting married is a very important link in our life. Choosing the right time and the right person is the key to a good marriage. Therefore, it is not suitable for getting married in the Mid-Autumn Festival, because this day is a day of reunion, and more time should be spent on your family, which better reflects the complete meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There is a sad love story in the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, the separation of Chang 'e and Hou Yi. Therefore, in ancient times, most people thought that Mid-Autumn Festival was not suitable for marriage. In the past, there was a saying that people did not visit relatives or go to see patients on the first and fifteenth days of the first month, and there was a saying that they did not marry in rural areas. August 15th is a day of family reunion. It is inconvenient for relatives and friends to get married on this day, which violates the traditional custom and the wedding time is not very good.

The custom of playing with lanterns in Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the three major lantern festivals for Chinese people, and lanterns should be played during festivals. Playing lanterns in the Mid-Autumn Festival is mostly concentrated in the south. For example, at the autumn festival in Foshan, there are all kinds of colored lights: sesame lights, eggshell lights, wood shavings lights, straw lights, fish scales lights, chaff lights, melon seeds lights, birds, animals, flowers and trees lights, etc.

In Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places, Mid-Autumn Festival activities will be held on Mid-Autumn Night, and the trees will be erected, which means that the lights will be erected high. With the help of their parents, children make rabbit lanterns, carambola lanterns or square lanterns out of bamboo paper, hang them horizontally in short poles, and then erect them on high poles. They are high-tech and colorful, adding another scene to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Children often compete with each other to see who stands tall and much taller, and the lights are the most exquisite. In addition, there are sky lanterns, that is, Kongming lanterns, which are made of paper and tied into large lights. Candles are burned under the lights, and the hot air rises, making the lights fly in the air and make people laugh and chase. In addition, there are all kinds of lanterns carried by children to enjoy in the lower reaches of the moon.
