The origin of "Mid-July" can be traced back to the ancient ancestor worship and harvest festivals. In ancient times, people often relied on the protection of gods for a good harvest. For example, Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty said in "The Four Sacrifices" in "Chun Qiu Fan Lu": "In ancient times, there were four sacrifices a year. The four sacrifices were to offer sacrifices to the ancestors and parents according to the produce of the four seasons. So in spring it is called "ci", in summer it is called "lu", in autumn it is called "chang", and in winter it is called "zheng." Ancestor worship takes place in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but "autumn tasting" is very important among them.Autumn is the harvest season. People hold ceremonies to offer sacrifices to the spirits of their ancestors, first offering the seasonal delicacies to the gods, then tasting the fruits of their labor and praying for a good harvest in the coming year. According to historical documents, the activity of Autumn Tasting to worship ancestors has existed since the pre-Qin period. Initially, the date of "Autumn Tasting" was uncertain, but later it was gradually fixed in mid-July, usually on the first full moon day after the beginning of autumn, when the autumn air arrives.
