What are the customs of Mid-Autumn Festival?1. Watching the tide:In ancient times, in addition to moon-watching during the Mid-Autumn Festival, watching the tide was another major Mid-Autumn Festival event in Zhejiang. The custom of watching the tide during the Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history. As early as the Han Dynasty, there was a very detailed description of it in Mei Cheng's "Seven Hairs". After the Han Dynasty, the custom of watching the tide during the Mid-Autumn Festival became more popular. There are also records of watching the tide in Zhu Tinghuan's "Supplement to Wulin Old Stories" in the Ming Dynasty and Wu Zimu's "Dreams of the Southern Song Dynasty" in the Song Dynasty. 2. Light the lamp: On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, candles are lit in lanterns tied with ropes to bamboo poles and erected high on the eaves or terraces. Small lanterns are also used to form words or various shapes and hung high up in the house, commonly known as "Tree Mid-Autumn Festival" or "Vertical Mid-Autumn Festival". The lanterns hung by wealthy families could be several meters high, and the family members would gather under the lanterns to drink and have fun. Ordinary people would put up a flagpole and two lanterns, also to have fun. The city is full of lights, like a world of glass. "It seems that from ancient times to the present, the scale of the custom of lighting lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be second only to the Lantern Festival. 3. Guess the riddle: On the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, many lanterns are hung in public places, and people gather together to guess the riddles written on the lanterns. As this is a favorite activity for most young men and women, and love stories are also told during these activities, guessing lantern riddles has also evolved into a form of love between men and women. 4. Eat mooncakes: Moon-watching and moon-eating are essential customs for the Mid-Autumn Festival in various parts of China. As the saying goes, "The moon is full on the 15th day of the eighth month, and the Mid-Autumn mooncakes are fragrant and sweet." The word mooncake originated from Meng Lianglu by Wu Zimu in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, it was just a kind of snack food. Later, people gradually combined moon-watching with mooncakes, symbolizing family reunion and expressing longing. At the same time, mooncakes are also an important gift for friends to keep in touch during the Mid-Autumn Festival. 5. Burning tower: The game of burning tile lanterns (also known as burning flower towers, burning tile towers, and burning foreign towers) is widely spread in the south. As recorded in Volume 5 of the Records of Customs of China: In Jiangxi, "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, children usually pick up tiles in the wild and pile them into a round tower with many holes. At dusk, they put firewood in the tower under the bright moon and burn it. When the tiles are red hot, they pour kerosene on the fire, and in an instant, the whole field is red and bright as day. 6. Appreciating osmanthus and drinking osmanthus wine: People often eat moon cakes and appreciate sweet osmanthus during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and eat various foods made with osmanthus, with pastries and candies being the most common. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, gazing up at the red osmanthus in the moon, smelling the osmanthus fragrance, drinking a cup of osmanthus honey wine, and celebrating the sweetness of the family have become a beautiful enjoyment of the festival. In modern times, people mostly use red wine instead. |
