The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar every year. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August is the second month of autumn, which was called Zhongqiu in ancient times, and is therefore called Mid-Autumn Festival among the people. It is also known as Autumn Eve, August Festival, Mid-August, Moon Eve, and Moon Festival. Because the moon is full on this day, symbolizing reunion, it is also called Reunion Festival. There are many customs during the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as eating moon cakes, appreciating the moon, admiring osmanthus flowers, and guessing lantern riddles.The Mid-Autumn Festival is an ancient festival, and worshiping and appreciating the moon are important customs of the festival. Ancient emperors had a social system of worshiping the sun in spring and the moon in autumn, and ordinary people also had the custom of worshiping the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival. Later on, appreciating the moon became more important than offering sacrifices to the moon, and the solemn moon worship turned into a relaxed entertainment. The custom of appreciating the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and many poets' famous works include verses about the moon. The moon-worshiping and moon-appreciating activities were more large-scale in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. There are still many ancient monuments of "Moon Worship Altars", "Moon Worship Pavilions" and "Moon Viewing Towers" remaining in various parts of China. The "Moon Altar" in Beijing was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty for the royal family to worship the moon. Whenever the Mid-Autumn moon rises, a table is set up in the open air, and moon cakes, pomegranates, dates and other fruits are placed on the table. After worshiping the moon, the whole family sits around the table, eating and talking while appreciating the bright moon together. Nowadays, the moon worship activities have been replaced by grand and colorful moon-viewing and recreational activities for the masses. What places do you recommend for visiting?Recommended places to visit: The Bund, Shanghai <br /> On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, watch the full moon reflected on the Huangpu River, echoing with the "International Buildings" in Puxi and the "International Skyscrapers" in Pudong. How beautiful. To enjoy the moon on the Bund, you can choose Pudong's Nanbinjiang Road, where there are many bars and restaurants. Sitting outdoors, you can have a panoramic view of the prosperity of the Bund and the scenery of the Huangpu River. You can also go to the French bar on the top floor of No. 18 The Bund, drink champagne and eat desserts on the terrace at night, watch the full moon in the sky and enjoy the romance. Of course, you can also board a cruise ship cruising between Yangpu Bridge and Nanpu Bridge, chase the moon and spend a quiet night.Recommended travel: West Lake in Hangzhou <br /> Two of the ten scenic spots of West Lake are related to the moon: one is "Autumn Moon over Calm Lake" and the other is "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon". On the moonlit night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2018, go boating on the West Lake and experience the poetic scene of "smoke shrouds the autumn water, and the moon is shrouded in gauze". The Three Pools Mirroring the Moon is one of the three islands in West Lake. It has been a popular place for moon-viewing since ancient times. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, candles are lit in the tower and the entrance to the cave is covered with thin paper. The light shines through, like small moons reflected in the lake. When the moon is at its highest point in the sky, the moonlight, lights and lake light complement each other, and the shadows of the moon, tower and clouds merge into a scene of "a lake of golden water about to melt the autumn". Friends who plan to go to Hangzhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival must not miss it! Recommended travel: Erhai Lake in Dali <br /> Dali has four major scenic spots, namely Cangshan Snow, Erhai Moon, Shangguan Flowers, and Xiaguan Wind, collectively known as "Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon". Each of the four scenes has its own characteristics and a legend that has been passed down for thousands of years. Many people regard Dali in Yunnan as a paradise on earth. Its beauty has a mysterious feeling. The best place to enjoy the moon in Dali is by the Erhai Lake. The Erhai Lake Moon is one of the four famous scenic spots in Dali. The Erhai Lake and the snow-capped Cangshan Mountain complement each other, and the moonlight is sparkling. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Bai people row their wooden boats to Erhai Lake to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes. Young girls and boys also have to sing songs to win the hearts of their lovers. It sounds very pleasant to go to Dali to enjoy the wind, flowers, snow and moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival! |
