The Origin of Mid-Autumn Festival and Poetry
The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the worship of the autumn moon in ancient times. At the autumnal equinox, it is an ancient "Mid-Autumn Festival", and the Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the traditional "Mid-Autumn Festival". In traditional culture, the moon and the sun are the same, and these two alternate celestial bodies become the objects of ancestor worship. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the ancient people's sacrifice to the moon, which is the legacy and derivative of China people's custom of offering sacrifices to the moon.
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". At first, the festival of offering sacrifices to the moon was the "Autumn Equinox" in the 24th solar term of Ganzi Festival. However, because the days of August in the summer calendar are different every year, there may not be a full moon. Later, the festival of offering sacrifices to the moon was moved from the "autumnal equinox" to the 15th day of August in the summer calendar (lunar calendar). The Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon and enjoying it since ancient times, and it has been passed down to this day for a long time.
