There are many opinions about the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival. The word Mid-Autumn Festival was first seen in Zhou Li, and The Book of Rites and the Moon Order said: "The Mid-Autumn Moon nurtures aging and follows a porridge diet."

One said that it originated from the sacrificial activities of ancient emperors. It is recorded in the Book of Rites that "the sun rises in the spring, and the moon falls in the autumn", and the moon is a sacrifice to the moon, indicating that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, emperors began to sacrifice to the moon and Yue Bai. Later, aristocratic officials and scholars followed suit and gradually spread to the people.

Second, the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival is related to agricultural production. Autumn is the harvest season. The word "autumn" is interpreted as "autumn when the crops are ripe". Mid-Autumn Festival in August, crops and various fruits are maturing one after another. In order to celebrate the harvest and express their joy, farmers take "Mid-Autumn Festival" as a festival. "Mid-Autumn Festival" means the middle of autumn. The August of the lunar calendar is a month in the middle of autumn, and the 15th is a day in the middle of this month. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival may be a custom inherited from the ancient autumn newspaper.

Some historians have also pointed out that the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival should be August 15th, 13th year of Daye in Tang Jun at the end of Sui Dynasty. Peiji, Tang Jun, with the idea of a full moon, successfully invented moon cakes and distributed them to the army as military salaries, which successfully solved the problem of military rations derived from absorbing a large number of anti-Sui rebels.

According to historians' inference, the custom of enjoying the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival was first raised by ancient court scholars, and then spread to the people. As early as the Forty Songs of Midnight in Wei and Jin Yuefu, there was a poem "There is a Moon in Autumn" that said, "Look up at the bright moon and send your feelings to a thousand miles." In the Tang Dynasty, it was quite popular to enjoy and play with the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many poets wrote poems about the moon in their masterpieces, and the Mid-Autumn Festival began to become a fixed festival. The Book of Tang Taizong recorded the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. Legend has it that Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sleepwalked in the Moon Palace and got colorful plumage, and the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival began to prevail among the people.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, August 15th was officially designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were seasonal foods such as "small cakes are like chewing the moon, and there are crisps and fillings in them". Meng Yuanlao's Tokyo Dream Record said: "On the Mid-Autumn Night, your family decorated the terrace, and the people competed for the restaurant to play with the moon"; Moreover, "the string is full of enthusiasm, and it is close to the residents. At night, it is like a cloud. Children in the room, even the night wedding drama; As for the night market, as for familiarity. " Wu Zimu's Dream of Liang Lu said: "On this occasion, the golden phoenix is refreshing, the jade dew is cool, the osmanthus fragrance is floating, and the silver toad is full of light. Prince Sun's son, a rich man with a huge room, never fails to climb a dangerous building, play with the moon on the porch, or open a wide pavilion, have a feast, and sing loudly with his harps and harps, so as to predict the joy of the evening. Even if it's a house with a mat, you can also board a small platform, arrange family dinners and gather around your children to reward the festival. Although the poor man in the mean lane knows how to drink in the agricultural market, he barely welcomes the joy and refuses to waste it. This night, the street sells and buys until the five drums, playing with tourists on the moon, and the mother-in-law is in the city, until it burns endlessly. " More interestingly, The Newly Edited Notes on Drunken Weng describes the custom of Yue Bai: "The children of Qingcheng family can reach twelve or thirteen by themselves without being rich or poor, and all of them are decorated with the eyes of adults, and they go upstairs or the atrium to burn incense in Yue Bai, each with its own direction; Men are willing to go to the toad hall early and climb the fairy laurel. ..... Women would like to look like Chang 'e and be as round as the bright moon. "

Moon-watching activities in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were very popular. "Its fruit cake must be round"; Every family should set up a "moonlight position" and "worship for the moon" in the direction of the moon. Lu Qihong's "Beijing's Year of China" contains: "On the Mid-Autumn Night, people have their own symbols of the Moon Palace, and the symbols are free from standing like people; Chen melon and fruit are in court, and the cake surface is painted with moon palace toad exemption; Men and women worship incense and burn it. " Tian Rucheng's "Notes on the West Lake Tour" says: "It's evening, and people have a feast to enjoy the moon, or take a boat with Baihu Lake to swim along the river. On top of Su Causeway, it is no different from daytime to join hands in singing "; "People invite each other with moon cakes and take the meaning of reunion". Fucha Dunchong's "Yanjing Year's Chronicle" said: "Mid-Autumn moon cakes are the first in Kyoto, and there is not enough food elsewhere. Moon cakes are everywhere. The big one is more than a foot, and the shape of the moon palace wax rabbit is painted on it. " "Every Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhumen, the mansion, presents moon cakes and fruits. By the full moon of May, Chen Guaguo was in court for the moon, and was sacrificed to edamame and Celosia cristata. It's the right time, when the colorful clouds are scattered at the beginning, and the children are noisy. It's really called a festive season. Only when the moon is offered, men don't worship. " At the same time, over the past 500 years, festivals such as burning incense, walking on the moon, setting sky lanterns, planting Mid-Autumn Festival, lighting tower lanterns, dancing fire dragons, dragging stones and selling male prostitute have been launched. Among them, the customs of enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes and having a reunion dinner have been passed down to today.

It was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. The Book of Tang Taizong records the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
