What is the Mid-Autumn Festival and what to do?
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in China, commonly known as Ghost Festival and ancestor worship festival. On this day, there are mainly activities such as ancestor worship, setting off river lanterns and burning paper ingots. Every year in the seventh half of the lunar calendar, that is, July 14th, almost all families will hold activities such as ancestor worship and burning paper money, and people in some areas will hold them on July 15th.

The Mid-Yuan Festival, also known as the Orchid Festival, originated from the ancestor worship and related festivals in ancient times. In ancient times, July was regarded as auspicious month and filial month, and July and a half were festivals to celebrate the harvest and reward the earth. Traditionally, people needed to worship their ancestors with new rice and report Qiu Cheng to their ancestors.

July 30 is a traditional cultural festival to remember the ancestors, and it is also a traditional festival to worship ancestors with New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Double Ninth Festival. It was listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 20 10.
