Speaking of Mid-Autumn Festival, I believe everyone is familiar with it. So, let’s take a look at what month, day and week is the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2021? According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August is the second month of autumn, which was called Mid-Autumn in ancient times.

What is the meaning of the Ghost Festival?The meaning of Mid-Autumn Festival is: a day of reunion and family reunion. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Northern Song Dynasty, the government officially designated August 15 as the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means the middle of the three autumns. At that time, all people celebrate together.On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is bright in the sky and its light shines on the earth. People regard the full moon as a symbol of reunion and August 15 as a day for family reunions. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the "Reunion Festival." Introduction to the Custom of Moon-Watching on Mid-Autumn FestivalOne of the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival is to appreciate the moon. The custom of appreciating the moon originated from the moon worship. The solemn worship has turned into a relaxed entertainment. It is said that the moon is closest to the earth on this night, and the moon is the largest, roundest and brightest, so there has been a custom of feasting and appreciating the moon since ancient times.A daughter-in-law who has returned to her parents' home must return to her husband's home on this day, to symbolize perfection and auspiciousness. Written records of folk activities of watching the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival appeared in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but it did not become a custom. By the Tang Dynasty, appreciating and playing with the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival was quite popular, and many famous poems by poets contain verses about the moon. |
