What is Erhai Moon?

1962 1 month, after the famous writer Cao Jinghua traveled all over Dali, he was deeply moved by the wind, flowers, snow and moon in Dali, leaving a romantic poem:

Shimonoseki wind, Shangguanhua, Shimonoseki wind blows on the crown;

Cangshan snow, Erhai moon, Erhai moon shines on Cangshan snow.

Erhai Moon: Every year on the Mid-Autumn Festival night on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, Bai families living near Erhai Lake in Dali will paddle wooden boats into Erhai Lake to enjoy the golden moon reflected from the sea. The sky, clouds, moon and sea water complement each other and form a beautiful picture. The most popular story about the moon in Erhai Lake is the story of Princess Tiangong coming down to earth. Legend has it that a princess in the heavenly palace envied the happy life on earth, went down to a fishing village near Erhai Lake and married a fisherman. In order to help fishermen live a well-fed life, the princess sank her precious mirror to the bottom of the sea so that fishermen could catch more fish. Since then, Baojing has become a golden moon in Haiti, shining on generations of fishermen, so it has become the "Erhai Moon" that people watch.
