Even a daughter-in-law who temporarily lives in her parents' home must return to her husband's home to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. There is also a saying among the people in the north that "men don't worship the moon, and women don't worship the kitchen god", so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Daughter's Day.Why is Mid-Autumn Festival also called Yuexi?The ancients regarded the 15th day of the second lunar month as the "Flower Festival". Correspondingly, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month was also called the "Moon Festival". The moon on August 15 is rounder and brighter than the full moons in other months, which is one of the reasons why it is called "Moon Festival".Why is the Mid-Autumn Festival also called the Moon Worship Festival?In ancient times, the Chinese people had the custom of watching the moon in the evening of autumn. Xiyue means worshiping the moon god. According to legend, Wuyan, an ugly girl in ancient Qi State, worshipped the moon devoutly when she was young. When she grew up, she entered the palace with her outstanding character, but was not favored. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of a certain year, the emperor saw her under the moonlight and thought she was exceptionally beautiful. He later made her queen, and thus the Mid-Autumn Festival moon worship originated. Chang'e in the moon is famous for her beauty, so young girls worship the moon, wishing to "look like Chang'e and have a face as bright as the moon." |
