The eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2020 has arrived, the autumn wind has risen again, the colors are scattered, the forests are dyed with red leaves, and the clusters of red leaves are like brocade and clouds. Shuimoxiansheng.com has prepared some exciting fortune information for you regarding the eighth month of the lunar calendar, please check it out!I can’t spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the one I love the most!1) The beauty of the night is fascinating and heartbreaking. I didn't know how to cherish it when I had it, but I realized it when I lost it. No one can replace your position in my heart. Thinking of you quietly, my thoughts can't be calm. Missing you is a kind of pain, an unforgettable pain, not often, but still deep! I don't want to say anything, the hurt and pain will be hidden in my heart, because no matter how many words I use, I can't express the pain of heartbreak.2) Gazing at the Mid-Autumn moon, deep in my heart, there arises so much longing, so much fantasy, so much confusion, and so much longing. Bathed in the moist moonlight, my heart is filled with a sparse sadness and gloom. 3) Wanderers are destined to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the bright moon is in the sky, casting its silvery light, it always reminds people of many beautiful myths and legends, and of those people and events of those years. 4) The night is deep and the love is strong. The Mid-Autumn Festival is still wandering in the sky, having passed the coldness in fate and crossed the river of lovesickness in dreams. Only the thin figure wanders in the moonlight, stranded on the lonely shore in the lovesick wind. 5) Standing alone like a weathered tree under the moonlight, quietly listening to the sound of the moonlight gurgling through the air, gently touching the melody of the heart, the pain and sadness splashed like flowers, vividly revealing the past of withered flowers The Origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival Kongming LanternOn the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month every year, many places still have the custom of releasing Kongming lanterns. In the villages around Wenchang, Wanning and Danzhou, people still have the custom of making Kongming lanterns and releasing sky lanterns.It is a Hakka custom to fly "Kongming Lanterns" around the Lantern Festival to pray for blessings, asking God to bless them with happiness and prosperity in the coming year. The Kongming lantern is a large lamp made of bamboo and paper that looks like a gas barrel. The top and sides are airtight, but the bottom is open. A rag or cotton wool soaked in grease is placed on the horizontal bar in the middle of the lantern. One person is responsible for lighting the lantern, while four people press on the surrounding areas. When the air in the lantern is burned out, the lantern will rise into the air and float in the wind, and people will watch and enjoy it. Another theory is that the lantern's shape resembles the hat worn by Zhuge Kongming, hence the name. Sky lanterns are also known as "blessing lanterns" or "peace lanterns." Mid-Autumn Festival Customs: Playing with Rabbit God The custom of playing with rabbit gods began around the end of the Ming Dynasty and was popular in Beijing. Ji Kun of the Ming Dynasty (who lived around 1636) wrote in "The Remaining Manuscripts of Huawangge": "During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing, people often make clay figures of rabbits, which are dressed in human clothes and sit like humans, and are worshipped by children." By the Qing Dynasty, the function of the Rabbit God had changed from offering sacrifices to the moon to becoming a Mid-Autumn Festival toy for children. The rabbit god is made of clay, with a rabbit head and a human body. He is wearing armor and a back flag. His face is covered with gold clay and his body is painted. He may be sitting or standing, pounding a pestle or riding an animal, with two big ears erect, looking both solemn and humorous. "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" records: "Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the skillful people in the market would use yellow clay to make images of toads and rabbits to sell, and they were called Rabbit Gods." The Qing Dynasty court called the jade rabbit in the moon "Taiyin Jun". However, Beijing people call it Rabbit God. In the folk customs around Beijing, the Mid-Autumn Festival worship of the Rabbit God is less solemn and more like a game.
