The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, August Festival, August Meeting, Moon-Chasing Festival, Moon-Playing Festival, Moon-Worshiping Festival, Daughters' Festival or Reunion Festival, is a traditional cultural festival popular among many ethnic groups in China and countries in the Chinese character cultural circle. It falls on the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar. It is named so because it falls exactly in the middle of the three autumns. In some places, the Mid-Autumn Festival is set on August 16.
The Mid-Autumn Festival began in the early Tang Dynasty, was popular in the Song Dynasty, and by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become one of China's traditional festivals as famous as the Spring Festival. Influenced by Chinese culture, Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival in some countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia, especially for local Chinese and overseas Chinese. Since 2008, Mid-Autumn Festival has been listed as a national statutory holiday. On May 20, 2006, the State Council included it in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had customs such as worshiping the moon, appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes, appreciating osmanthus flowers, and drinking osmanthus wine. These customs have been passed down to this day and have lasted for a long time. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with the roundness of the moon symbolizing family reunion, is a way to express longing for hometown and loved ones, and to pray for a good harvest and happiness. It has become a rich and precious cultural heritage. The Mid-Autumn Festival is known as one of China's four major traditional festivals, along with the Dragon Boat Festival, the Spring Festival and the Tomb-Sweeping Day.

There are four aspects to the meaning of burning incense:

1. To show sincere and respectful offerings to the Three Jewels, and to demonstrate and guide sentient beings.
2. It means transmitting information to the void Dharma Realm and gaining blessings from the Three Treasures in all directions.
3. It means burning oneself to spread fragrance to all directions, reminding Buddhist disciples to make selfless contributions.
4. It means that the Buddhists' precepts, concentration and true incense have been lit, which contains the silent vow to "diligently cultivate precepts, concentration and wisdom, and extinguish greed, noise and ignorance". The Buddha does not like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts, concentration, truth and incense of his disciples.
It is best to burn three incense sticks. This represents the three non-leakage studies of precepts, concentration and wisdom; it also represents the offerings to the permanent Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. This is the most complete and civilized way of burning incense and offering. It is not the number of incense sticks you burn that matters, but the sincerity of your heart. As the saying goes, "Burn three civilized incense sticks and offer a sincere heart." Generally, it is enough to light three incense sticks in front of the main hall.
After lighting the incense, they should be inserted in the middle of the incense burner. The first incense stick should be inserted in the middle, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the Buddha, awakening and not being confused; the second incense stick should be inserted on the right, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the Dharma, being righteous and not evil; the third incense stick should be inserted on the left, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the monks, being pure and not being tainted.
