The Origin of Mid-Autumn Festival Theme

The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" first appeared in Bai. According to the ancient calendar of China, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month is the middle of August in a year, so it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There are four seasons in a year, and each season is divided into three parts: Bangladesh, China and Kyrgyzstan. Because the second month of autumn is called Mid-Autumn Festival, it is also called "Mid-Autumn Festival". In the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a record of "telling Shangshu Town about the cow's confusion, crossing the river in mid-autumn, and traveling incognito around".

It was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. The Book of Emperor Taizong recorded the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. The prevalence of Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty, and it became one of the major festivals in China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is also the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival.

The legend of enjoying the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival:

Hou Yi shot nine suns, which was respected and loved by the people. Many people with lofty ideals came here to study and study as teachers. The treacherous and cunning Feng Meng also mixed in. Hou Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for a packet of elixir and gave it to Chang 'e for safekeeping.

Feng Meng, the villain of Houyi (it is said that Houyi was later shot dead by this man's arrow), took advantage of Houyi's going out and forced Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e swallowed the elixir without fear, and soon floated off the ground and fell into the moon, becoming a fairy. Hou Yi went home to find his wife, beat his chest and feet, looked up at the bright moon and called Chang 'e's name for a long time.

His call shook the earth, and Chang 'e appeared on the bright moon. Hou Yi hurriedly put on the incense table, put on her favorite honey and fresh fruit, and offered a sacrifice to Chang 'e at the Moon Palace. When people heard the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, they also held incense tables at the bottom of the moon to pay homage to Chang 'e.

Later, the moon mother was moved by Iraq's true feelings and allowed Chang 'e to be on the day of the full moon.
