Mid Autumn Festival
Below IFAN will introduce the origin of the Mid Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese festival.
Origin of Mid Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Reunion Festival, etc., is a traditional Chinese folk festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the Qiu Xi festival in ancient times.
Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, admiring the moon, eating moon cakes, watching lanterns, and drinking osmanthus wine, which has been passed down to this day.
Customs at Mid Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times, popularized in the Han Dynasty, and finalized in the Tang Dynasty.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of autumn seasonal customs, most of which have ancient origins.
As one of the important rituals and customs of folk festivals, worshiping the moon has gradually evolved into activities such as viewing the moon and singing the moon.
Mid-Autumn Festival Symbolizes Reunion
The Mid-Autumn Festival uses the full moon to signify the reunion of people, as a sustenance to miss the hometown, miss the love of relatives, pray for a good harvest and happiness, and become a colorful and precious cultural heritage.
At first, the festival of "Sacrificial Moon Festival" was on the 24th solar term "Autumn Equinox" in the Ganzhi Calendar, and it was later adjusted to the 15th day of the eighth lunar month in the Xia Calendar.
Influenced by Chinese culture, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival for some countries in East and Southeast Asia, especially the local Chinese and overseas Chinese.
Tomorrow is the traditional Chinese festival in 2022. IFAN wishes everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, happiness, and well-being.
