I hope people can travel thousands of miles for a long time. What is the traditional festival of Chanjuan?

"I wish people a long time and a thousand miles of beauty" refers to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in China. It's the fifteenth day of the first month, and the moon is particularly round. The ancients used the perfection of the moon to symbolize the perfection of people. They often enjoy the moon in Yue Bai during the Mid-Autumn Festival, pinning their homesickness on the moon.

The origin of the Mid-Autumn festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times and prevailed after the Song Dynasty. Mid-Autumn Festival is a relic of ancient celestial worship-the custom of worshipping the moon, which originated from the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. Sacrificing to the moon is a very old custom in China. In fact, it is a ritual activity of the ancients in some places in ancient China to "Moon God".

According to textual research, the original "Moon Festival" was set at the autumnal equinox of the twenty-four solar terms in the Ganzhi calendar, and the autumnal equinox of the twenty-four solar terms was an ancient "Moon Festival". However, due to the different days of the "autumnal equinox" in August in the summer calendar, there may not be a full moon. Later, the "Festival of Sacrificing the Moon" was transferred from the twenty-four solar terms "Autumn Equinox" in the drought calendar to the fifteenth day of August in the summer calendar (lunar calendar).
