The Origin Of The Mid-Autumn Festival?
Sep 27, 2023The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of the moon in ancient times and has a long history. The term "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first recorded in "The Rites of Zhou". According to the ancient Chinese calendar, August 15th of the lunar calendar happens to be the autumn of the year, and it is mid-August, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival". In addition, among the four seasons of the year, each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the second month of autumn is called "Zhongqiu". It was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. There are still folk myths and legends about "Wu Gang conquering Gui and Chang'e flying to the moon".
In short, according to historical records, ancient emperors often held moon worship activities, and the date was set on August 15th of the lunar calendar. Because this time is in the middle of autumn, it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival". Hanci.com believes that this is the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
