Which ethnic group’s festival is Mid-Autumn Festival?

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of the Chinese nation. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the autumn evening moon worship in ancient times. Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had customs such as worshiping the moon, appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes, playing with lanterns, 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.

Which day of the lunar calendar is Mid-Autumn Festival?

The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month every year. In some places, it is celebrated on the 16th day of the eighth lunar month . This is because when Fang Guozhen, the leader of the peasant uprising army in eastern Zhejiang in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, occupied the three states of Wen, Tai and Ming, he changed the date from “the 14th day of the first lunar month to the Lantern Festival and the 16th day of the eighth lunar month to the Mid-Autumn Festival” in order to guard against attacks by Yuan Dynasty officials and soldiers and Zhu Yuantian. In addition, in Hong Kong, the excitement is not over after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be another party on the 16th night, which is called "chasing the moon". Since 2008, mainland China has designated Mid-Autumn Festival as a legal holiday. If the day coincides with a Saturday or Sunday, an additional day off will be given on the following Monday.

How do my country's ethnic minorities celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Li Nationality <br /> The Li Nationality calls the Mid-Autumn Festival "August Festival" or "Tune Sound Festival". At that time, each town will hold a singing and dancing party. Each village will be led by a "tune leader" who will lead young men and women to participate. They will give each other moon cakes, fragrant cakes, sweet rice cakes, flower scarves, colorful fans and vests, and they will come in groups and in an endless stream. At night they would gather around the fire, roast game, drink rice wine, and sing songs. Unmarried young people would take the opportunity to look for their future partners.
Zhuang Nationality <br /> The Zhuang nationality holds a "worship of the moon and inviting the gods" in the middle of August of the lunar calendar every year, or sometimes on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. People set up an offering table in the open air at the head or tail of the village to place offerings and incense burners. On the right side of the table, a branch or bamboo branch about one foot high is planted, symbolizing a tree, and also serving as a ladder for the moon god to descend to the earth and ascend to heaven. The ancient moon mythology is preserved here. The whole activity is divided into four stages: inviting the Moon Goddess to descend to the earth, with one or two women acting as the Moon Goddess' spokespersons; singing between the god and the man; the Moon Goddess fortune-telling; and singers singing spells to send the Moon Goddess back to heaven.
Koreans <br /> The Koreans use wooden poles and pine branches to build a "moon-watching frame". When the bright moon rises into the sky, several selected elders will be invited to climb up the moon-viewing stand. After the old man has looked at the moon, they light the moon-looking stand, beat the long drum, blow the bamboo flute, and dance the "Farmer's Dance" together.
Mongolian <br /> The Mongolians love to play the game of "chasing the moon". People mounted their horses and galloped across the grassland under the silvery moonlight. They galloped westward, and the moon rose from the east and set in the west. The persistent Mongolian riders will not stop chasing the moon until it sets.
Tibetans <br /> The custom of Tibetan compatriots in some areas of Tibet to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival is to "search for the moon". That night, young men and women and children walked along the river, following the bright moon reflected in the water, and spread the moon shadows in the surrounding rivers and ponds, and then went home to reunite and eat moon cakes.
