On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, people will celebrate this festival in different ways, whether in the past or in modern times. Wanderers who are far away will also look up at their hometown. So how is it formed and why is there such a strong atmosphere? Let me explain it to you.

The origin of the Mid-Autumn festival

It is said that this festival originated in the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, there were not so many customs, just simple activities to respect the elderly. "The Book of Rites and the Moon Order" records: "It is the moon, raising the old, giving a few sticks and eating porridge." It means that every Mid-Autumn Festival, the government will go door-to-door to offer condolences to the elderly, and give them stools, handfuls and other edible food. There is also a saying that the porridge here is similar to Ciba. This is probably the embryonic form of Mid-Autumn Festival, and then gradually developed the customs and traditions of appreciating the moon and Yue Bai.

Examples of stories and legends

Speaking of this festival, the first thing that comes to mind is the moon. Here are some legends related to this. In ancient times, there was a beautiful woman named Chang 'e, who was the wife of Hou Yi. Hou Yi got the elixir from the Queen Mother of the West, but after Chang 'e stole it, he went directly to the moon, and Hou Yi couldn't catch up. After Chang 'e came to the Heavenly Palace, it was freezing all around, and she was only with Yutu, so it was hard to avoid being cold and cheerless. Li Shangyin once wrote a poem and lamented: "Chang 'e should regret stealing the elixir, and stay awake at night in a clear sky. "
