What is the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival?
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the name of Taoism, which is called July and a half in folk customs, and is called the Bonin Festival in Buddhism.

Festival customs mainly include offering sacrifices to ancestors, setting off river lanterns, offering sacrifices to the dead, burning paper ingots and offering sacrifices to the land. Its birth can be traced back to ancestor worship and related festivals in ancient times.

July is auspicious month and filial month, and July and a half is a festival for people to celebrate the harvest and reward the earth in early autumn. Some crops are ripe, so people should worship their ancestors according to the law, and report Qiu Cheng to their ancestors with new rice and other sacrifices. It is a traditional cultural festival in memory of ancestors, and its cultural core is to respect ancestors and do filial piety.
