In ancient times, Houyi made contributions to the sun, and the Queen Mother of the West rewarded the fairy medicine. On August 15th, Houyi took everyone hunting. His disciple Simon went to his house to steal medicine, and his wife Chang 'e swallowed it to protect the fairy medicine. Chang 'e, who ate the fairy medicine, flew to the sky uncontrollably, and Hou Yi, who came late, only saw Chang 'e who was about to disappear. Later, I thought that in memory of the kind Chang 'e, I designated this day as the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means: the day of family reunion. I hope that one day Hou Yi and Chang 'e can reunite.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history. Like other traditional festivals, it is also slowly developed. The ancient emperors had a ritual system of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. As early as the book Zhou Li, the word "Mid-Autumn Festival" was recorded. Later, nobles and scholars followed suit. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, they watched and worshipped the bright and round moon in the sky, expressing their feelings. This custom spread to the people and formed a traditional activity. Until the Tang Dynasty, people paid more attention to this custom of sacrificing the moon, and the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. The Book of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty recorded the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, which prevailed in the Song Dynasty until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
