Origin of Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a confluence of many customs and events, such as the Moon Festival, the Autumn Society, the Moon Appreciation and the Legend of the Moon Palace. It originated in the pre-Qin Dynasty and finally settled in the Tang Dynasty.
The evening moon is the autumn equinox of the ancient emperor who sacrificed to the moon. "Zhou Li Chun Guan Zong Bo Dian Rui" Zheng Xuan's note: "The son of heaven always divides the morning sun in spring and the autumn equinox in the evening." "Historical Records of Xiaowu's Biography" by Pei Zhi quoted Ying Shao as saying: "The son of heaven worships the sun outside the east gate in spring and the moon in autumn. Asahi is facing the DPRK, and the evening is in the evening. " Now the Moon Altar in Beijing, formerly known as the Moon Altar, is the place where the Ming and Qing emperors sacrificed the moon at the autumnal equinox.
Because there is not necessarily a moon on the night of the autumnal equinox, and the moon is not necessarily round, it will spoil the scenery, so the people gradually put the autumnal equinox festival on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
