The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of the moon in ancient times and has a long history. The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first recorded in Zhou Li. In the ancient calendar of China, the15th day of the eighth lunar month happened to be the autumn of a year, and it was in the middle of August, so it was called "Mid-Autumn Festival".

In addition, in the four seasons of a year, each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the second month of autumn is called Zhong Qiu. It was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. Folk myths and legends about "Wugang cutting Guangxi and the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon" are still circulating today.

Mid-Autumn Festival has become an important festival in a year, which has a very subtle relationship with the imperial examination. In China's feudal society, it has always been a major event that rulers attach great importance to. The triennial autumn competition has just been scheduled for August. When scenery and passion are combined, people will regard the person who took the senior three exam as the person who won the laurel in the middle of the month.
