The Origin of Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the ancient ancestors' worship of nature. China is an ancient agricultural country, and seasons are closely related to agriculture. Therefore, in ancient times, "spring prayers" were held before sowing in spring. In August of autumn, it is the harvest season with a good harvest. People would worship the god of land to thank him for his blessing. This is called "Autumn Sacrifice" or "Autumn Festival".
However, before the Six Dynasties, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month was not a fixed festival. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the 15th day of the eighth lunar month was officially designated as the "Mid-Autumn Festival". The popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become as famous as New Year's Day and became one of the major festivals in my country. On this day, there are various activities among the people, and those who are away from home all return home to reunite with their families and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
