Hello everyone!
The word Mid Autumn Festival was first seen in Zhou Li. According to the ancient Chinese calendar, August 15 of the lunar calendar is in the middle of August in the autumn of the year, so it is called the Mid Autumn Festival. There are four seasons in a year. Each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji. Because the second month of mid autumn is called mid autumn, the Mid Autumn Festival is also called Mid Autumn Festival. In the early Tang Dynasty, the mid autumn festival became a fixed festival《 The Mid Autumn Festival on August 15 is recorded in the records of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The prevalence of the mid autumn festival began in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was as famous as new year's day and became one of the main festivals in China. This is also the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival.
It is said that the ugly woman of the ancient state of Qi had no salt. She worshipped the moon when she was a child. When she grew up, she entered the palace with good morality, but she was not favored. One year, on August 15, the emperor saw her in the moonlight. He thought she was beautiful and outstanding. Later, he made her queen and worshipped the moon on the Mid Autumn Festival. In the middle of the month, Chang'e is famous for her beauty, so the girl worships the moon and wishes to look like Chang'e and look like the bright moon.
With the continuous development of society, the ancients gave many legends to the moon, from toad to jade rabbit, from Wu Gang cutting GUI to Chang'e running to the moon. Their rich imagination described the mottled scenery of the Moon Palace world. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, poets and poets chanted the moon and the mid moon. The full moon on August 15 became an excellent time to express their feelings. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the officials officially designated August 15 as the Mid Autumn Festival, which was intended to be in the middle of the three autumn festival. At that time, all people will celebrate together. On the night of the Mid Autumn Festival, the bright moon is in the sky and the clear light is scattered all over the earth. People regard the full moon as a symbol of reunion and August 15 as a day for family reunion. Therefore, the Mid Autumn Festival is also known as the reunion festival.
The Mid Autumn Festival has become a major festival of the year, and has an extremely subtle relationship with the imperial examination. In China's feudal society, learning from scholars has always been a major event that the rulers attach great importance to. The three-year Qiuwei Dabi is just scheduled to be held in August. With the combination of scenery and passion, people regard high school candidates as people who break the laurel in the middle of the moon. Every Mid Autumn Festival, we must celebrate Chongqing, which has become an important custom of the people of the whole society. It has been popular throughout the dynasties. The Mid Autumn Festival has gradually become one of the four major festivals in China (Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid Autumn Festival).
