The custom of watching the tide during the Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history. As early as the Han Dynasty, there was a very detailed description of it in Mei Cheng's "Seven Hairs". After the Han Dynasty, the custom of watching the tide during the Mid-Autumn Festival became more popular. There are also records of watching the tide in Zhu Tinghuan's "Supplement to Wulin Old Stories" in the Ming Dynasty and Wu Zimu's "Dreams of the Southern Song Dynasty" in the Song Dynasty.Lighting Lanterns On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a custom of lighting lanterns to help the moonlight. Nowadays, people in the Huguang area still have the custom of stacking tiles into a tower and lighting lanterns on the tower. In the Jiangnan area, there is a festival custom of making lantern boats. In modern times, the custom of lighting lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival has become more popular. In their article "Leisurely Talking about Seasonal Affairs", Zhou Yunjin and He Xiangfei, modern scholars, said: "The lantern-hanging is most popular in Guangdong. Ten days before the festival, each family will make lanterns with bamboo strips. They will make shapes of fruits, birds, beasts, fish, insects, and words such as 'Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival', and then paste colored paper on them to paint various colors. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, candles are lit in the lanterns and tied to bamboo poles with ropes. The lanterns are erected high on the eaves or terraces. Or small lanterns are used to form words or various shapes and hung high up in the house, commonly known as 'Tree Mid-Autumn Festival' or 'Vertical Mid-Autumn Festival'. The lanterns hung by wealthy families can be several feet high, and the family members gather under the lanterns to drink and have fun. Ordinary people will erect a flagpole and two lanterns, also for their own fun. The whole city is full of lights, like a world of glass." It seems that the scale of the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern-lighting custom from ancient times to the present seems to be second only to the Lantern Festival. Guessing riddles On the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, many lanterns are hung in public places, and people gather together to guess the riddles written on the lanterns. As this is a favorite activity for most young men and women, and love stories are also told during these activities, guessing riddles during the Mid-Autumn Festival has also evolved into a form of love between men and women. Eating mooncakes and appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival are essential customs for celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in various parts of China. As the saying goes: "The moon is full on the fifteenth day of August, and the Mid-Autumn mooncakes are fragrant and sweet." The word mooncake originated from Meng Lianglu by Wu Zimu in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, it was just a kind of snack food. Later, people gradually combined moon-watching with mooncakes, symbolizing family reunion and expressing longing. At the same time, mooncakes are also an important gift for friends to keep in touch during the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is also a custom of Bo Bian in Xiamen, Fujian, and Bo Bian has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage project. Enjoying osmanthus flowers and drinking osmanthus wine People often eat moon cakes and enjoy osmanthus flowers during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and eat various foods made with osmanthus, with pastries and candies being the most common. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, gazing up at the red osmanthus in the moon, smelling the osmanthus fragrance, drinking a cup of osmanthus honey wine, and celebrating the sweetness of the family have become a beautiful enjoyment of the festival. In modern times, people mostly use red wine instead. Can you achieve a certain level of success in your career? What kind of love and marriage will you encounter?
