Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the ancient custom of worshipping autumn in China and Yue Bai. The tenth chapter of the Book of Rites, which is anonymous by Zhou, contains "Spring morning sun, autumn dusk moon". Asahi is facing the DPRK, and the evening is in the evening. "Late Moon" here means Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai. By the Han Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai had been formed. At that time, people watched and worshipped the bright and round moon in the sky on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this custom gradually became a traditional folk activity.

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". In the Tang Dynasty, people paid more attention to the custom of appreciating the moon and offering sacrifices, and the Mid-Autumn Festival began to become a fixed festival. However, this festival prevailed in the Song Dynasty and became one of the major festivals in China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
