On the Hometown Customs of Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival is an ancient festival, and it is an important custom in Yue Bai to sacrifice and enjoy the moon.

Ancient emperors had a social system of offering sacrifices to the sun and the moon in spring, and people also had the custom of offering sacrifices to the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yue Bai, on the other hand, is an ancient worship activity of "Moon God", which was popular after the Song Dynasty. As for the specific ceremony, people usually put a tablet of "Moon God" at home or outdoors on the evening of the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, and then put away offerings such as melons, fruits, pears, peaches and moon cakes, and then worship and pray.

Men generally hope to get a good reputation in the imperial examinations, while women hope to have a beautiful face. With the evolution of customs, after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a saying that "men don't Yue Bai, women don't sacrifice stoves". Solemnly declare: the answer is for reference only, please don't be blindly superstitious.
