Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, Moonlight Festival, Moon Festival, Moon Worship Festival, Moon Mother's Day, Reunion Festival, Mid Autumn Festival, Moon Festival, etc., is a traditional festival popular among many Chinese ethnic groups. It is on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. Because it is just half of the third autumn, it gets this name. It is also known as the four traditional festivals in China together with the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, and Loong Boat Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the ancestors' worship of the celestial phenomena and evolved from the worship of the moon on the autumn eve in ancient times. In its development, it has integrated various customs and events such as the moon on the eve of the emperor, the autumn society, the moon watching, and the legend of the moon palace. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in the Pre Qin Dynasty, popularized in the Han Dynasty, shaped in the Tang Dynasty, officially established in the Northern Song Dynasty, and prevailed after the Song Dynasty. On January 1, 2008, it was designated as a national statutory holiday by the State Council. Since ancient times, Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, watching the moon and chasing the moon, begging for the moon to shine on the moon, making lanterns, playing with lanterns, guessing lantern fans, tree Mid Autumn Festival, dancing dragon, burning tower, listening to incense, eating moon cakes, chattering snail, eating sweet potatoes, appreciating osmanthus flowers, drinking osmanthus wine, etc. It has been passed down to this day and has lasted for a long time.
