The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival:?

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in my country. According to historical records, the term "Mid-Autumn Festival" first appeared in the book "Zhou Rites". In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was a record of "ordering the minister to suppress the cattle confusion, and on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the left and right people were incognito and flooded the river". It was not until the early Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. "Book of Tang·Taizong Ji" records the "Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th". The popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become as famous as New Year's Day and became one of the major festivals in our country. This is also the second largest traditional festival in our country after the Spring Festival. ?

Another theory of the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival is that the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month happens to be the time when rice matures, and every family worships the God of the Earth. The Mid-Autumn Festival may be the legacy of the Autumn Announcement.?

Mid-Autumn Customs:?

The Mid-Autumn Festival is from August 13th to 15th, commonly known as the August Festival. The markets are prosperous, with fruit stalls and clay rabbit stalls everywhere. When the fifteenth month is full, a moonlight horse is set up in the courtyard, and fruits, moon cakes, edamame branches, cockscombs, radishes, lotus roots, watermelons, etc. are offered as offerings. However, many men do not bow to the moon when the moon is offered. The proverb goes: "If a man does not worship the moon, Women do not offer sacrifices to the stove." After the moon ceremony, family members sit together, drink wine and admire the moon, which is called the "Reunion Festival". The moon cakes for worshiping the moon are also cut into pieces according to the number of people and eaten, which is called "reunion cake". ?

From a customary perspective, gifts were given during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past. "In the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone sends gifts to each other..., rewards slaves with money, and shops place account posts, this is the case every festival." Gift giving is booming now. Before the festival, we get two cars loaded with mooncakes and fruits and deliver them door to door. Of course, the homes and households here refer to business customers. Naturally, giving gifts is for the purpose of connecting with each other, and payment is for business. When I did this two years ago, I had to think about whether I was worshiping Lord Rabbit over there. This year I'm afraid this trend is even more popular. ?
