Mid-Autumn Festival
Everyone must have heard about the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon is probably the most familiar one. Chang 'e took the elixir of life and flew to the moon. In order to remember his wife, the descendants of her husband set up an incense table in Chang 'e's favorite back garden, put on her favorite honey-made fresh fruit, and offered sacrifices to Chang 'e in the Moon Palace. After hearing the news of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's immortality, people put incense tables under the moon to pray for good luck and peace. Therefore, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival will continue!
For those who work hard outside, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a day to go home and reunite with their families. After all, "when you are in a foreign land, you miss your relatives twice every holiday." No matter how far it is, if I have time, I will try my best to get back to spend the holidays with my family.
Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the ancient custom of worshipping autumn in China and Yue Bai. The Book of Rites states that the son of heaven is in spring, and the sun and moon are in autumn. The Asahi is facing the DPRK, and the evening is in the evening. " "Moon at night" here means Yue Bai. It was formed in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival became popular and was designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ouyang Zhan (785-827 AD) said in Preface to Poems on the Moon in Chang 'an Opera: "August is in autumn. The beginning and end of the season; At night, the moon is in the clouds. Take it from the sky, it will be cold and hot, and take it from the number of months, it will be round, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. "
