Was the Mid-Autumn Festival originally the Beginning of Autumn or the Autumnal Equinox?

What is Mid-Autumn Festival? As the name suggests, Mid-Autumn Festival is the middle of autumn. In terms of months, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and any day in August falls within the Mid-Autumn Festival. If calculated by day, it is not necessarily August 15th. According to the ancient calendar, the real Mid-Autumn Festival is the day of the Autumnal Equinox.
my country's lunar calendar is a combination of the lunar and solar calendars. The division of the four seasons is based on the twenty-four solar terms. The four seasons start with the Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn and Beginning of Winter. Each season consists of six solar terms and lasts about 90 days. The midpoint of each season is at the beginning of the fourth solar term.
For example, spring includes six solar terms: Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, Waking of Insects, Spring Equinox, Pure Brightness, and Grain Rain. The middle day of spring is the Spring Equinox. Similarly, since the Autumnal Equinox is also the starting point of the fourth solar term in autumn, the real Mid-Autumn Festival should be the Autumnal Equinox.
The word "Mid-Autumn" was first seen in "The Book of Zhou·Spring Officials·Luo Chapter": "In the daytime of mid-spring, beat earthen drums and sing "Bin Poems" to repel the heat; on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, welcome the cold, do the same." "Bin Poems" refers to "The Book of Songs·Bin Feng·July", which is a welcoming song used by the ancients to welcome the cold and heat.
Every year during the Mid-Spring and Mid-Autumn Festival, people beat drums and gongs, sing and dance to welcome the arrival of cold and hot weather. The "Mid-Autumn Festival" mentioned here may refer to August or the autumnal equinox, but it cannot refer to August 15th.
