Mid-Autumn Festival is: August 15th of the lunar calendar, which is in the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to enjoying the moon, offering sacrifices to the moon and eating moon cakes, there are activities such as dancing grass dragons and building pagodas in some places. Every night, people will look up to the bright moon like jade and look forward to family reunion. Wanderers who are far away from home also take this opportunity to pin their thoughts on their hometown and relatives. Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Reunion Festival".
In the past, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we had to worship the moon and enjoy the Yue Bai, and every household had to eat moon cakes and drink osmanthus wine? But now? Under the pressure of life, people have no time to make moon cakes by themselves, and it is impossible to complete a series of customs of Mid-Autumn Festival, so they can only buy some moon cakes in cake shops to visit relatives and friends. I remember two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, I walked from school to the station, and almost everyone saw a moon cake in their hands. After I got on the bus, I found that it was birds of a feather. The people in the car were chattering away, but I was deeply impressed by what several uncles said-"I bought my moon cakes in Angie, which cost more than 200 yuan a box;" I bought mine in Rosa; None of you are as good as me. Mine is the latest Haagen-Dazs moon cake, with more than 600 pieces. Everyone sitting next to him was amazed. I was dumbfounded at the time, too.
Nowadays, festivals are all about comparing who bought expensive gifts, who bought beautiful ones and who bought them in famous brand stores. Including in my own home, there are similar places. My uncle came to my home and brought two boxes of gorgeous Cantonese moon cakes. Before he entered the door, he told my mother that he bought more than 300 moon cakes. My mother reluctantly smiled.
There are indeed many problems existing in festivals in society. Because people have slowly forgotten the true meaning of festivals. For example, Mid-Autumn Festival is not just about eating moon cakes, but also about reunion. Reunion Festival is a day for everyone to get together. Isn't it a great thing in the world for everyone to have a reunion dinner, enjoy tea and enjoy the moon? But is this the case? Now, after 80' s and 90' s, they all go out to play during the holidays, and the people at home are old, weak, women and children. When it's time to eat, everyone eats in a hurry, and then they go to play with their mobile phones and computers. I didn't even say a blessing to my elders! Is the festival just an era of fighting for money and games? 、
Nowadays, the pace of people's life is fast, and the taste of the festival seems to be much lighter. The true connotation and content of the Mid-Autumn Festival have been forgotten by people. What would the old man think while playing with his mobile phone and eating a group meal? So we should pass on the traditional customs of the Chinese nation. Nowadays, our living conditions are good, but we can't just celebrate the material festival, but also celebrate the pro-plot. After the holidays, we should spend more time with our parents, grandparents and not let them feel lonely. After the festival, we have to savor the happiness and feel the charm of traditional festivals. Is it okay?
