Introduction to the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival;

1 On the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, many places in China will choose to eat ducks. Why? It turns out that "duck" means "pressure", which is homophonic. Eating ducks is to suppress ghosts. People in Dongguan usually eat duck with lotus root in pot. In Duling County, Shandong Province, the Mid-Autumn Festival is called "Pinzui Festival" by the local people, and every family has the custom of eating rough tea and plain rice.

2. Going to the grave to worship the ancestors. When the day of July 15 comes, it is mainly to go to the grave to pay homage to the ancestors, and "press paper" at the grave to tell the ancestors that this tomb has been swept by later generations; Or make a lamp out of paper and burn it in front of the grave, which means that the dead have a bright future. If the ancestors have died for three years, the children should take off their mourning clothes and change into ordinary clothes on this day, commonly known as changing filial piety.
